Yes, just don't stack things on top of the Asgard, unless you want things to melt.

Is it safe to stack the Asgard 2 directly on a Bifrost 2?

I get really tall legs if I did. It gets really hot.

I've had mine stacked for years, never been problem!

If you're worried, I'd put some taller feet on which ever unit you place on top! This so you get some more air flow between the two units!

I finally ordered the DCA Aeon RT headphones. Safe to use them on Asgard 2?

They're 12 ohms and 91db sensitivity. The Asgard 2 makes most of its power from 32ohms to 50 ohms, so the Aeon RT may
present a challenging load for the A2. I'd check with Schitt to see what they have to say.

How does Asgard 3 vs Jotunheim 2 compare in sound quality?

Seems to work fine. Need more time, but the Asgard 2 seems to drive a new Aeon RT without a problem.

I just bought some new HP's that are 32 ohm and 110 sensitivity (highly sensitive). On High Gain there is LOTS of noise, but If I put my hand on the amp and touch EITHER the RCA connectors of my interconnects OR 1/4" headphone jack, the noise is gone. Is this a ground issue with my Asgard 2 ?

Do you hear the same noise on low gain mode as well if you turn the volume knob up so the signal was the same level as it was in high gain mode?

With those headphones, low gain is a much better match just based on specs.

On LOW gain, noise is barely audible. But, if I put my hand on the amp and touch EITHER the RCA connectors of my interconnects OR 1/4" headphone jack, the noise is gone. Is this normal OR a ground issue with my Asgard 2 ?

Sounds like you could have a mild ground loop given the noise goes away completely with certain actions. Could try routing your RCA cables away from power cables, moving the amp away from other gear with transformers, amd trying different well-constructed RCA cables to confirm.

Tried all the above including many other HP's...still come up with NEAR silence ONLY when I touch the A2's metal enclosure and IC's or 1/4" socket.

Try moving the A2 away from your computer and see if that helps...

Definitely a ground issue. Are the amp and computer plugged into the same power outlet? Different outlet circuits can have different ground potential, which will cause hum.
