Asgard 3 with ES9028 DAC module and Magni+ incoming. I will try to compare different combinations including my current Schiit pile (Modius and Valhalla 2).
Might also want to try pairing the Modius with the Asgard 3. I thought they sounded good together. Even though I do not use either now, I could easily recommend the pairing for a excellent sub $500 stack.Asgard 3 with ES9028 DAC module and Magni+ incoming.

That's my current setup, can only say great things about it. Although I haven't tested any planars on it yet...Might also want to try pairing the Modius with the Asgard 3.

Did you already list somewhere the ways that Jot2 is better than Asgard 3? Even if both are used SE?Jot 2 IMHO is a better amp
Not that I can remember. Asgard 3 came first. After Jot 2 was burned in, I listened to the amp in SE mode. The way I EQ, power which allows for ample headroom kind of prohibits the use of Jot 2 SE for me. Balanced is more resolving than SE and Asgard 3. One thing that has absolutely elevated the Jot 2 in my setup is passive signal filtering. Just stunning results. I have not tried this filtering on the Asgard 3 yet.Did you already list somewhere the ways that Jot2 is better than Asgard 3? Even if both are used SE?
Yep, and it’s also worth considering what headphones or IEMs you have or plan to use.My recommendation is if using SE only go with the Asgard 3. If wanting to go balanced, Jot 2 is a great amp for the money.
The controls may need to be cleaned with spray air... most likely dust.I picked up a used Asgard 3 and it was distorting funny in the left channel when using the analog inputs - tried swapping RCA cables, high and low gains - nothing.
Played with the input selector switch a few times and it went away. Is there something for me to clean? I plan on gifting this to someone and don't want this to come back
Cleaning all cables, tube pins, and contacts with DeOx is routine for me. For problems with switches, volume controls, etc. I open it up and use a safe solvent like electrosolve, turning the switch or control many times.I picked up a used Asgard 3 and it was distorting funny in the left channel when using the analog inputs - tried swapping RCA cables, high and low gains - nothing.

When we used to clean/repair old units we would apply only a small amount with a Q-tip and clean the area and then rotate the switch several times.Can I just spray contact cleaner into these switches or are they sealed? Thanks
