What does HYBRID mean for the lyr2?
 
And does the tubes get used while in preamp mode for the lyr2?

That it is both a tube and solid-state amp. It combines both, thus, it is called a hybrid.

Yeah, the tubes get used but it's about 5000 hours of use and it's cheap to replace

If it's new it should be the Magni 2, in which there's a low gain switch on the back for use with IEMs

EDIT : Just to clarify this isn't FOR iems, its for my HP150's I'm going to buy, it just works well with the IEMS.
 

HP150 you say?
 

 
I mean, if you can get your audio stuff to work on it great but...can't see how you're going to get USB support or anything to work on that thing.

The aluminum material matches the headphone and my schiit (bifrost uber + valhalla2 pending arrival).
In case anyone is interested, here is the link to the stand http://silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=490&area=en
 
Can't wait to fire them up.

i was wondering why schiit black version aren't popular (based on reading Schiit chapters thread)... Now i know why. the volume pot is white.
Well, different strokes for different folks i guess.

I think I heard something about it as being a mistake, it was all supposed to be black but the company forgot to paint the knobs?

Only the metal guy messed up. I suppose the pot doesn't come from the same supplier.
