Nicely done. I almost bought that earlier yesterday
My condolences

I know this is probably considered blasphemy here on HeadFi, but I will be using the Lyr 2 with an iPod Touch and Fiio L9 cable and no DAC, as I do not own one.
Do you have a 3.5mm to RCA adaptor?
So close to pulling the trigger on the Lyr 2. Will be pairing it with my Uber Bifrost in place of my Asgard 2. I've spent the last few days reading this thread and it has me excited to try out this amp and purchase different tube pairs with hopes of finding the ideal pair for my HE-500s. If I dive in on the Lyr 2, I'd get the Socket Savers and one pair of tubes outside the stock ones provided, so I'll have something to switch to from time to time.

IBy that I meant in the budget range. I can't justify spending $200 on tubes anytime soon.
I have used two currently produced tubes, in my lyr 2. I have used the Genalex Gold Lions and Telefunken TK E88CC tubes. The gold lions a a little warm sounding. The bass bass more impact, with out bloat, the mids become sweeter and smoother. The treble/ highs are fine sounding. The soundstage is more holographic and detailed. The Telefunken TK, compared to the stock tubes, adds a more textured bass, that's gives a little more impact without bleeding into the mids. The mids are a extremely textured and natural sounding g. The highs are also more detailed and thus the soundstage opens up and the details of music more detailed than the stock tubes. But the Telefunken TK tubes do not compete with the NOS Telefunken E88CC platinum tubes, also One can find some great NOS vokshods for under half the price one pays for currently produced tubes. But of the currently produced tubes I have, my favorite are the Genalex Gold Lions.
Hello all,
first time poster, just want to know if there are any deals on Schiit Lyr 2s anywhere? or they don't go on sale?
I am thinking of selling my JDS labs O2 +ODAC for the Schiit Lyr 2. I am thinking that there will be a significant upgrade when I do this.
thanks

I will probably get it from Schiit directly new.
I have an Asus Essense STX sound card and DT 990 pro 600 setup right now. I am leaning towards on getting a Schiit Lyr 2 because of the tubes.
Is this a definite upgrade? I am reading all the reviews and Lyr 2 is somehow better than O2 +ODAC
