Matched transistors for the Continuity output stage?
Yeah, could be. But the chips all have eight legs like Opamps, transistors only have three legs. Not really sure though, I could be wrong.Matched transistors for the Continuity output stage?
OKmatched transistor packs
Yes, definitely. I found the transistor arrays on digikey.com. I like learning about this stuff. Thanks for the info.the three flatter 8-lead devices (near the 8 light blue surface-mount resistors) are likely matched transistor arrays (2 or 3 per device) for the output devices and a driver / VAS stage. towards the capacitors (the tall cylinders) there are two SO-8 devices that I would guess are part of the DC servo. obviously, Jason would not provide a schematic as the continuity(tm) circuit design is proprietary to Schiit.
I know nothing about Asgard2 or the Magni3+. But I do know there is zero not to like about Asgard3 after some four months of daily use, especially considering its $200 price tag and five year warranty!!! Just my thought about.I used to own a Magni 3+ and thought it was a great little amp. Lots of power for HD650's. Eventually sold it to go the balanced route. That's no longer relevant so my question is, if I liked the Magni 3+ do you think that the Asgard 3 would be a good fit for me?
Currently using an Asgard 2. Thanks in advance for those who answer.
I would echo that sentiment. If you are looking for comparisons, my feeling is that the A3 was a shade warmer/richer and more "pacey" than the Magni 3+. Frankly, the volume pot alone is probably a good argument for the A3.I used to own a Magni 3+ and thought it was a great little amp. Lots of power for HD650's.

Yep...great amp for the $$$!I would echo that sentiment. If you are looking for comparisons, my feeling is that the A3 was a shade warmer/richer and more "pacey" than the Magni 3+. Frankly, the volume pot alone is probably a good argument for the A3.
