Thank you Marcel. I am trying it on 2 different cans but I like the matching with the Beyer better than the AKG so far.
Waiting to find out how things will change in a week or so
I was curious is all, and sorry - still don't have much input on the original Asgard. I think I would be the only person at our local group who would even have the newer Asgard.
I wish the Asgard 2 have a button for me to switch between headphone output or RCA output for my powered speakers.
It will be much more convenient since it will not require me to un-plug and re-plug the headphone so often. Just like the Modi 2 with a button for you to switch between USB/ RCA/ optical input

+1 having to unplug and re-plug cables (like it always was) - was always silly and always bothered me. Switching the input while leaving everything connected is way smarter. When the headphone is pulled out by accident and the house is blasted with music (or whatever you are listening to) is not smart.

With the added cost and complexity, I just don't see it happening. I believe the JDS Labs Element has a button for this feature, but it also lacks volume control for the RCA outputs, so it's basically worthless as a preamp.

The guy's car broke down on rt 28 on his way to meet me, and had to pull over to the side.
After little hesitation, I decided to drive to the "site" and pick up the Asgard 2.
I did offer him help if there was anything I could do, but he already called for roadside assistance.
So, all was left to do was to go ahead and proceed with our original plan.
I paid him via Paypal using my phone, and he got his Asgard from his car, all while cars running by us on the highway.
Probably was not the safest.. nor best way to deal with the situation
But it definitely tops the list of most unusual places to pickup gear found on head-fi.
Just a quick question. I tried searching this thread and didn't get any hits that matched my situation. I recently bought a demo Asgard 2 last week from a local store (after going through 2 defective Fiio E09k's) to pair with my AKG K702.65 Annies. I have noticed that it clicks seemingly randomly after it gets hot after about maybe minimum of 1 hour of on time. It's definitely not the muted power on/off relay click within 10 seconds of powering on/off. This relay click is much louder than that and it only happens once the unit is nice and toasty warm/hot. So during a 3 hour listening session it may click once or twice. Is this behavior normal? Or is my bad luck with amps just continuing?
This is just a guess here, but what you may be experiencing is the metal of the case expanding due to heat. I don't think it's anything to worry about.

Check the tightness of the screws; I believe I had a similar issue with my original Asgard and it turned out to be one of the screws being a bit loose, so it would pop when it warmed up (I think, it's been a few years at this point...)
