This may be the creepiest post I've ever read on HF.

I will sell blood and semen if I have to; whatever it takes my to get my hands on a Schiit integrated amp. While you're at it, go ahead and design a phono preamp so I can have Schiit stack for all of my stereo needs. I'll give you dibs on my body fluids, if it sweetens the deal for you.

Could be worse. He could be selling his limbs.

It was mostly said in jest. I may actually donate plasma for spare cash, though. It's quite lucrative. I'm a sucker for good looking, good sounding (time will tell on that, obviously, but I am optimistic) integrated amps at fair prices, though, so I can deal with the needles and boredom.

My post was also mostly in jest.  It's all good!

I figured just as much. I just don't want anyone around these parts thinking that I'm sending samples of myself to businessmen with good ideas.

Schiiiiiiit.
I got 3 options to spend my money on.

Buy a Schiit Modi + Asgard 2.
Buy an iPhone 5.
Buy a GTX 670.

WHY IS IT SO HARD TO CHOOSE

/irrelevantpost

 
I'd wait for a few months on the 670, the iPhone isn't worth the money 

, and audio is more important than a phone or a more powerful GPU.

I should add a pair of refurbished Samson Resolv A6 to that list.

not too bad...

Nice, mine will be here Monday. So how does it sound? Expecting a full review in the next 30 min! 

 

[leg-ranger]

I'm looking forward to some reviews.

 

[hodgjy]

Mine is also scheduled for delivery on Monday, but USPS isn't always reliable on their due dates.

Much better than an M/M not as good as a Lyr.
I'm not good at these things.
 
Musical with good definition but 1 dimensional.  It's very hard for me to lose my bias to glass.
I don't want to move with the music it's not pulling me along for the ride. It's not deep to me.
The base is very good with differentiation.  It does a good job with my LCD2's
 
However...
It's a cupcake without frosting.

Did you have the Asgard 1 before?  If it's anything like that (and frankly all of Schiit's products), give it a good burn in period and see if things open up a bit. I've had and sold Asgard 1 and Lyr, and am currently using Magni and Mjolnir; they've all required a solid 100 hour burn in to completely settle on sound signature in my experience. For what it's worth, the Asgard was an amazing value so I can only imagine what it sounds like now (as Asgard 2) if it's 'a mini Mjolnir' as has been mentioned.

Could anyone -- after getting their Asgard 2 -- post some pictures with their headphones, DACs, other amps to get a good grip of its size? I cant find my ruler!

 Schiit has some product pictures on their site that you could possibly use as a reference. If not you could also try looking it up on Google Images, Im sure a lot of pictures from head-fi will pop up.
