I've been very pleased with my Asgard for the past year. Using Denon D2000's and BeyerDynamic DT770 Pro's (250 ohm) I wonder if it's worth upgrading?
Just wait on the reviews for the A2. If the new features are something that are important to you (gain switch, pre-amp out) then it would certainly be worth considering.
The Asgard will drive them no problem? And what are MD's?? See,? I have no idea what's up in the headphone world theses days

wow, I really need to read what I write before I hit the submit button "theses" lol!
Edit: I've had a few cocktails. I refuse to take responsibility for my bad typing lol!
Instead you might get more bang for the buck (even if it's a few more of them) by going to a tube or hybrid amp to sit next to your Asgard. Schiit alone has two from which to chose.
I have a Woo Audio WA6 I purchased a few years ago. Truthfully, I haven't listened to it in well over a year. The Asgard has been fitting the bill for me. I love the amp, and if the updated model sounds better, I'm going to upgrade. Simple as that. I'll read the reviews before I decide.
I took the plunge to upgrade my A1 to A2 sight unseen. The extra voltage swing should theoretically help drive my DT990/600s better, which I thought the A1 already drove very well!
