does Schiit have any hybrid amps?

 

[dorino]

The Vali and Lyr (and Lyr 2) are hybrids.

Yes, both Lyr2 and Vali are hybrids.
Valhalla2 is tube only, all others are pure solid state.

With the valhala2,
Has anyone used Astell and kern with it?
(I'm looking at getting the ak100ii or ak120)

How does the tubes change/help the music?

Thanks

If I really like how the Vali sounds, would you guys say the Lyr 2 is an improvement, while keeping a similar tonality? Or do you see more benefit in going from the Modi 2 Uber to the Bifrost Uber and keeping the Vali?
 
HD 800 arrives at the end of the month, so while I'm content with the Vali as I really like its sound, it doesn't hurt to look forward.

That is a real hard question to answer, but the Lyr2 is going to sound better for sure. As with everything else though the improvement isn't going to be huge like 3 times better. Hate to say it but I'd say you either stick with the Vali and Modi or go the whole 9 yards and get the Bifrost Uber and Lyr2 together. The Lyr without the Bifrost or the other way around is going to be a situation where one is holding the other back from you being able to hear all the benefits.

If one does not need the extra power, why should it sound better?

Because it has a completely different layout and is built with different everything.

That's just a guess that does not guarantee to be any better.

Not a guarantee, but an appropriate response to the question you posed. And it might well be better, since we know it is different circuit design, parts, etc.
(Could be better/worse/same)

Or a difference too slight to tell. As it is most audio gear has a flat FR and distortion levels below human perception, but we do like to big deal out of it.
