Honestly....I've revisited the Old-Asgard 2 again and with the HD560s....just sounds so good! I have many other Schiit amps, and I love and adore my Valhallla 2 but there's is a special magic the Asgard 2 can lure me in to a great listening session without any hassles! The only other amp I get this sound from is with my Mjolnir 1 but that is out of the loop due to lack of space!
Good on Schiit for making it right and just makes your Asgard 2 a 2021 model??!!
Good to hear.
Couple of weeks ago, my Asgard 3 blew up while I was listening to it. Before I even knew what was happening,
smoke started coming out of the top and both channels of my prize Grado PS500e's were fried.
I'd always perceived the Asgard 2 as better made than the 3, but my 2 is still playing fine while
I've been sending emails to Schitt to no avail.
No mods, nothing snazzy, nothing at all in fact done to the 3. Just a plain vanilla setup at the time
a solid DMP into the inputs and the Grado's taking the output.
So, very glad to hear that Schitt is doing the right thing. I still wish, though, that they'd
reply to my emails with respect to receiving warranty svc for this issue.
As is often the case, we'll see how it goes.

P.S. Contacted Grado, within a half hour they'd replied - and with (what I consider) to be
good news. My PS500e's can be fixed (it's past the warranty period) for $150. And they'll
also give me a new cable. What an outfit, those folks are always superb.
