Omg now I'm debating if I want to send back my Asgard 3 and swap it for the Magnius. I have a couple of headphones coming in with XLR terminators. It seems like the Magnius should pair well with the Bifrost 2.
I'll be letting you know how it goes. I've ordered mine and will be comparing it to my other amps using the Bifrost 2, Modius & iDSD BL.
Asgard 3 should be better than Magnius for use with low-impedance (~16 ohm) planars, especially the low-efficiency early designs from HFM, etc., provided that the single ended cable was designed right as a 4-wire cable (with two leads for each earpiece running the entire length of the cable, terminated right at the TRS plug)
Why do you think this wouldn't pair well with low-efficiency planars? It's less than 0.1ohm output impedence with gobs of power and a gain switch.
