At least on paper it is not a good match, no. But it might sound good. Impossible to say without trying.
Would the Valhalla be a good match for Ultrasone PRO2900s? From the review I think I would like the sound of it, but my headphones are only 40ohms. I read a few reviews on the Asgard and I don't think I would like it very much, I need something that won't slow down the PROs.
Oh I wouldn't need a monstrous amount of bass, I'm actually getting a bit sick of having too much bass to be honest.
I'm just interested in bass being slightly more present, for example when playing a cinematic movie/single player game, or listening to electronic music; my thought was that a slightly warm amp would assist in this. I loved the T1 when I gave it a listen, it was like nothing else (and I had listened to the LCD2 & ED8, unimpressed how they compared). For all intents and purposes they sounded perfect, I just worry that in theatrical moments or energetic songs, they might not be able to deliver.. though I wasn't able to test the headphones in such circumstances.
Have you heard both the Asgard and the Valhalla? How would you say the Asgard sounds, a review I saw here said it was laid back and a bit slow for metal.
Hi.
Since this amp is good match with beyer T1, do you think Senn HD800 also good match as well?
I am new to a lot of this and was lokking at the valhalla and was curious if a pair of sennheiser hd 598 would sound good with it
To my ears, the Asgard accurately reflects the source with which you feed it. If your source is slow and laid back, that's what it will sound like with the Asgard.
How hot does this amp get? I read that their solid-state amp (the Asgard) gets so hot that the volume knob is basically untouchable after 30 minutes of play.

That's not true. It gets hot, but it's like holding a paper cup with coffee in it. It isn't untouchable though.
Mine doesn't even get that warm.
