They also have a multibit option for the Jotunheim.

I think it’s a great value that they’re offering the Modi Multibit card module for $150 for both Jot and Lyr 3. I’m a bit jealous, lol.

These are some interesting times for Shiit....always improving.

What about their higher end schiit??
Specifically a MJ3 that is always in stock lol
Or an upgrade for the Gumby?

No word yet on a Mjolnir 3. I think there were three products that were mentioned to be released.

• Modi Multibit DAC module
• AKM 4490 Gen 2 DAC module
• Lyr 3

The only other release would be Sol turntable they’ve been working on for a while.

Shoot. Got an eBay pair of WE 396A (seller accepted an offer of $100; test matched but different years) and not ten minutes later eBay puts out a 15% off coupon. Maybe one of you can get some good out of it; code PSPRINGTIME

Edit: whoops I see TK beat me to it.

Looks like all of us 2c51 fans, will still be able to use them with an adapter for lyr 3!

Did they confirm this somewhere after Jason's post? I was just curious it sure would be great if I could use all of these 2c51's I've acquired

Also it's sounds like a really great amp. I think I'm going to have to pony up the cash to get a one!

I still have not found a reason to upgrade from the original Lyr, but I must say the new Lyr 3 is pretty.

Yet the Lyr classic continues to be my favorite tube rolling amp, so many options...

In the Facts section for the Lyr 3, on the Schiit Website, it says that you can still use all your tubes that worked with lyr and lyr 2, with an adapter. They say the plate voltage is not very different, from Lyr and Lyr 2.

The use of only 1 tube, is freaking awesome! I have a bunch of singles that I have been hanging on to. I am saving my pennies, starting now. . .

Awesome thanks for letting me know!

Yeah I can see I'm going to be trying some more 2c51's and looking into a lot more 6sn7's too.

Schiit’s new Lyr Amp. Uses 6NS7 tubes and possibly others with adapters.

Nice. Was only a question of 'when'...
Should be great with some of the octal tubes already discussed here!
According to Schiit:
"So, here’s the deal: we changed tube type (from noval, 6DJ8-family tubes, to octal, 6SN7-family tubes) because they sound better and perform better. In fact, the 6SN7 tube family is one of the most linear tubes ever made—as evidenced by the amazing performance of Lyr 3 in high gain mode.'

And only one tube, also nice. Two triodes per channel not necessary. Some would argue that one triode per channel offers better clarity.
Matched triodes are important, but 10% triode match is less than a decibel difference between channels.
Thus dealers, such as Upscale Audio, define platinum grade as 10% or less triode match.
Also should still work well with all our noval tubes via adapters. Perhaps better. Some of the 9 pin tubes discussed here are still superior to some of the 6SN7. (On my 6SN7 OTL, I would still rather listen to the RFL6N3P-E than many of the 6SN7.)

Many more tube options now with this Lyr3. This can handle the 600mA heaters. So not limited to the 6C8G at 300mA.
This will also handle the 6F8G, along with all the 6SN7 versions.

And, gotta love the look of those transformers.

These 2 WE pairs with 15% off pretty reasonable.
