Woke up to a Google Checkout email @ 1:19am for my Valhalla. Can't wait!

What is your date of order?

Perhaps it's time for a separate Schiit Valhalla thread?

Probably a good idea.   My Valhalla has shipped also.

Ready when you are...didn't want to start one where the first 20 posts are that our orders shipped.

Jude, or anybody else given the K340 a listen with this amp?

Does anyone know the power that the Asgard puts out. I could not find any of this information on the web site.

 

[Maxvla]

Asgard is listed at 20V Peak to Peak.
 
Try applying this set of equations to it and see what you get!

Or you can just say "Oh Steeeeeeve..."

 
32 ohms: 1.56 W
50 ohms: 1 W
100 ohms: 500 mW
120 ohms: 833 mW
300 ohms: 167 mW
600 ohms: 83 mW
 
And I seem to recall Jason saying the Asgard's output devices are running at around 300 mA so all those numbers should be valid.

[Frank I]

Thats pretty poweful if those numbers are correct. Would be great for the low impedance cans but not real good for high impedance cans.

 

[Maxvla]

Remember though that higher impedance cans are less sensitive to current. Traditional pairings of LD MKIII with the HD650 trio only amounts to 350mW at 300 ohms. More than the Asgard for sure, but not as much as you'd think. Also, as you know, power isn't everything. Going with the LD amps again you see the 1+ at only $100 putting out 800mW at 32 ohms.

 

[Caphead78]

Aghh, I have to decide between the Asgard and Valhalla now for my 650s.... (Or a humanitarian could just lie and convince me that all amps are worthless in order to save my food budget 

)
