Hey all,   It's that time--time for a whole new line of Schiit! It starts with the first DAC from Mike Moffat in over a decade: Bifrost.   Bifrost changes the game in entry-level DACs, starting with full upgradability. Both the USB Input Card and DAC/Analog Card are snap-in...

What's Happenin' All   After much deliberation I've decided to sell my Alessandro/Grado MS2i's and pick up the HD650's. I'm not fluent in Audiophilese yet so I'll just say that while I dig the MS2i's (very detailed, great for rock), I found myself simply enjoying the sound of my HD595's a...

hey im looking to buy my first headphone amp   i listen to music mostly at my computer with my grado sr225i's and my beyer dt880 (250 ohm) headphones so im looking for one that will compliment both nicely with a price range of 200-350   ive heard that dac/amps work well with the grados...

An incredibly bold ripoff of the Beats? A funny name a la Schiit meant to inspire bathroom humor? I saw someone mention how cool they would look to the kids with Beats... Right, until you tell them the name. Seriously, Fanny Wang? I would honestly make up a brand name before I told someone I was...

According to their website, the Lyr started shipping Friday (2/25/2011). Any West Coasters get theirs yet? I'm dying for early impressions!

I have a Schiit Lyr here which makes some problems. It makes a quite loud hum. Sounds like a typical 50Hz hum. With headphones with high sensitivity it's annoying. But even with a HD-650 which is not very sensitiv it's hearable. Could it be the unregulated (my guess because I can see no voltage...

  You want hot Schiit? You got it!   How about a hybrid headphone amp that'll do 6 watts RMS into 32 ohms? Yes, watts. No, we are not insane. Well, maybe we are, but that's beside the point. Because Lyr is the perfect thing for your Audeze and HiFiMan cans.   You may also be surprised...

Looking for a new amp in this price range ($250-300) for a pair of HD650s. Anyone have any experience using each of these amps? Each seems to have a great reputation amongst head-fiers, but i cannot locate a comparison. They seem to be very similar in build. Any experiences?

So I just got my Schiit Asgard in the mail but I'm having difficulties with it. I plugged the RCA input cable into the back of my X-Fi XtremeMusic (please don't complain about me not having a dedicated DAC, this is not what the thread is about) but now the soundcard is no longer being detected...

I would include my own photos but I think jude's post already has very detailed unboxing pictures so check them out here.   A lot of information you can probably pick up from jude's post actually It is $249 and about $260 after shipping. The packaging was sufficient and clean. No peanuts...

Ok PLEASE help me.  I am going to buy a new amp for my Denon ah-d 5000's.  I have done a lot of research and made a few posts to figure out my amp issue.  I will be using an 32gb ipod touch in lossless format for my source.  I do have a budget (and a wife to enforce it :) so i need some help...

Here are some photos.  It's still way too early for impressions, but I'll update this post with impressions soon.   Enjoy the photos in the meantime.   (Click on the photo below to see the rest.)      

Looking for a reasonably priced amp or DIY design or kit amp to drive my Hifiman HE-5's. Any suggestions?  What should I look for for output?  Cheers, Dub

Hello - I have a Little Dot I+ with some Denon D7000. I'm thinking about getting the Schitt Asgard amp, to see what SS is all about. What kind of sound differences can I expect?

Like a few others here, I got the shipping notice this morning.  I'll post up a few thoughts, impressions, etc. when it arrives.   Unfortunately, I'm on the East coast so it will be a few days.  I figured it would be smart to have a separate Valhalla thread to gather everyone's questions...

As the title says I'm hoping to hear from folks who have listened to both. Both are in the same relative price range and to my untrained eye have similar specs. Both of them are rewieved highly in their own threads but I haven't found any direct comparisons.   Anybody out there who would...

I was wondering which of these is best paired with my Sennheiser HD600? I know both of them are currently back ordered so I will have to wait but has anyone heard both of these as they are approximately the same price and have both been reported to pair well with the Senn line-up. Any help is...

Hi   I'm searching for an amp for those two headphones. My maximum budget is about $300.    Actually I have an Indeed Hi-Fi G2 amp, but the Fostex demand more "meat", so I was thinking of a Maverick Audio A1 or similar tube amp or a solid state amp, but I'm very lost in the SS amp...

I'm somewhat of a noob in the realm of headphone amplifiers, having never heard a tube amp in my life and only budget solid state amps like the udac and pa2v2.  Although I've read much in the debate between solid state and tube, I'm still not entirely clear on their differences.  People may use...

As promised I am starting a Three  Four amp showdown with the amps stated in the title of this thread   I can only afford 1 amp so 3 of these will be up for sale by the time we are finished here.  just remember folks.. I'm an amateur.  I have very little experience comparing amps, and very...

Hi there.   So far I´ve been using the amp out of my Asus Essence but want to try something new.   There´s just too many amp models right now which gets praised and it hard for me to differeciate   Why tube? because I like the looks.   right now I´m using my DT880 250OHm but will...

The Schiit Asgard arrived today.  It was packed well, and it seems to have arrived in perfect condition.   The Schiit Asgard's fit-and-finish seems quite good.   We're not talking Luxman P-1 luxuriousness here, but, at just a hair over one-tenth the price of the Luxman, that's hardly a fair...

Press releases went out for a new contennder in the headphone amplifier world: Schiit Audio. (http://schiit.com/)   They are starting off with a high current $250 Class A SS amp (the Asgard) which is fully discrete, and a $350 SET tube amp (Valhalla).    I've ordered an Asgard to pair...
