Maverick Audio Tubemagic A1 & D2 Stack vs Schiit Asgard 2 & Bifrost Stack
After having a full tower desktop for four years, I've finally upgraded it to a mini-ITX form factor. It's great and all besides the audio (only one PCI-E slot which I'm using for my graphics card). Coming from my Auzentech X-Fi Forte, everything sounds awful so I'm now in the market for an amp...- Shipwreck

I A/B tested a Schiit Asgard and a Schiit Valhalla today - Very surprising results
I could not tell them apart at all. Based on everything I've read about tubes and tube amps, I found this to be incredibly surprising. I built an A/B switchbox for comparing source components and have run a couple of tests. I'm using a rockboxed iPod classic with FLAC files, and a pair of...- morph2k4

DT 990s and the Schiit Asgard 2?
Due to the recent price drop of the DT-990 250 ohm Pros, I am seriously considering picking up a pair. However, I have no way of knowing how good it will sound on my setup, as I have only ever listened to them at a meet. Can anyone tell me a bit about how it sounds with the Schiit Asgard 2? Thanks!- JD1993

Can you dudes recommend me audiophile speakers?
I haven't used speakers in a decade and a half and at that time I didn't even know the word audiophile existed so I didn't know how amazing music can sound. Right now I have the Asgard 2 and Uber Bifrost with the HE 500 and been using that combination for months now but feel like going back to...- TheChosen0ne

~$200-$300 DACs to go along with the Schiit Asgard 2
I've been looking at the Schiit Asgard 2 for my Mad Dogs w/ Alpha Pads, and I need a nice DAC that can plug into my computer via USB. I looked at the Bifrost, but apparently it didn't come with USB, and is a bit too expensive. Are there any other DACs that I could use in the place of the Bifrost...- JD1993
