No, Hel was always about the superior mic input. It's the Asgard 3 that brings increased power output.Oh? I thought it was all about the HEL being a ‘significant upgrade in audio’ over the G6. . .? Now it’s about the mic input?
If you’re going to claim the increased power makes the HEL worth getting instead of or on top of the G6 then how does the same not apply to the Arc 2which has very similar audio specs to the Hel? But ok, superior mic input. . . That is indeed an advantage. But fact remains it has no optical, doesn’t work with either console anyway and wall wart is mandatory rather than optional. Those may be negligible considerations for you, doesn’t necessarily mean that has to be the case for everybody else.
Accordingly while the G6 instead of the HEL (and instead of the Ark too) is enough for me personally - and I stand by that - I don’t necessarily expect or require that to be the case for everybody else. I wasn’t presenting it as a must have, I simply asked if anybody had tried it and observed that it had some of the things MLE had lamented the absence of in the HEL.The way you’re trying to finesse the comparison in favour of the HEL so that anything the HEL lacks in comparison is pointless anyway while anything the Arc 2 lacks is significant worthwhile suggests your eagerness to dismiss the mere suggestion of it has more to do with one unit being Schiit and the other not. . .
