Well, there is no indication that it could not be better, either. New Magni sound good for the price, and Jotunheim, sound good for the price. All Schiit products, as far I know, sound good for the price. Also, all Schiit new amps sound better, than older generations. I assume, new Ragnarok 2 would also be good for its price and would also be better than first generation, no matter what topology. Jason said that they are relying not only on measurements, so the future of Ragnarok should be safe.
I think you hit the key point. Schiit isn't going to introduce something new that's worse than it's predecessor but it is still going to be better "for the price." Ragnarok sits on top of Schiit's amp food chain. There won't be a version 2 unless Jason can improve it at its price point or at least in that range. I will leave it to Jason to tell us if he could design noticeably a better sounding Ragnarok for $5000. Schiit has always offered a great value proposition rather than escalate prices into the stratosphere. It will be interesting to see what the future will bring.
Thanks to those who offered comparisons of the Schiit amps. I'd like to hear more of you weigh in on their comparative performance.
