If you get a chance, try the "hum test" with the inputs to the Asgard 2 unplugged. I did, and there's no noise/hum at all. Dead quiet. The hum I heard was coming from the interconnects/d.a.c./computer, not the amp. Sorry about that, Schiit!
For S&G I made a recording of the "noise" I hear when I pause Foobar and turn the volume pot all the way up on the Asgard 2. I used HD800's and SR325i's for the test. Hi gain. You can hear the ticking sound I talked about in an earlier post.

The recording device was my iRiver H120, so not the highest quality but you can clearly hear the noise. It is not much louder than the background noise in my case. So it is not that big a deal in my estimation, but it may be different for others.
For reference I did the same thing with my Magni and there is very little noise at full volume on it, so did not bother to record it.
P.S. I am really liking the Asgard 2 with the HD800's!!!
