I just scanned the zip file of the Windows 10 driver on Jotti's Viruscan and 1 out of 21 scanners reported malware.

And that one scanner that reported a threat states that it found; PUA.Packed.PECompact-1
 
PUA.Packed.PECompact-1 is a fake malware detection displayed by rogue security software. Rogueware will display fake system scanners and report threats such as PUA.Packed.PECompact-1 to coerce users into purchasing it.

Just found this thread and subbed.  I've owned Schiit equipment for a couple years.  A2, BiFrost, Gungnir, Mjolnir, and Wyrd.  Now of course looking at the GMB upgrade.  I'm sure there is a ton of interesting info in the 702 pages here, will review at my leasure...just wanted to say Hi.

Welcome fellow Schiit head!

Who's going to get some of the new Schiit came out with? Would getting the Valhalla2 with the solid state tubes be good?

From schiit's faq for LISST
 
Hey, this is cool! Can I use them anywhere a 6922 is used?
Not necessarily. We designed these tubes specifically for our tube hybrid products—Mjolnir 2, Lyr 2, and Lyr. Those are the only products we guarantee they’ll work in.
But I can try them in other stuff, right?
Again, no guarantees. They might not work. They might get too hot. They might fail. Don’t blame us—we’re being very clear on LISST being for Schiit devices only. 
 
How about Valhalla? Valhalla 2?
Valhalla 2 sure, but why?

Two pairs of LISST tubes are going to cost you $200. At that point, you've basically paid for a real bad Asgard 2.

Ok, I'll just sick with the regular tubes then, I'm limited to IEMs, so would the valhala2 be great for a tube sound with IEMs? I might get the klipsch X11i soon

Just got my shipping notice that LISST have been shipped. Woo Hoo!

Does anyone use Klipsch IEMs with Schiit? How well do they sound? I'm thinking of upgrading to the klipsch X11 from my klipsch something g3

Isn't the Valhalla 2 meant more for higher impedance cans? I sold my Valhalla 2 and bought a new Lyr 2 to not only drive my Audezes but also run my JH16s every once and a while... Turns out the JH16s were still a bit too sensitive for the Lyr 2. I don't fault the Lyr 2 for that, I fault vacuum tubes... Having purchased the LISSTs, my Lyr 2 has turned into an extremely versatile amp. Tubes used with my cans

, LISSTs used with my CIEMS.

I don't have the X11's, but I do have the Klipsch X7 and X10's and I use them a lot for audiobooks in my office system because they're very comfortable. Both the X7 and X10 work very well with the Asgard 2, no background noise at all and it has more juice than they'll ever need. 
 
Do the X11 use a different driver than the X10? The reason I ask is there have been great prices on Klipsch IEM's at Amazon lately...paid about $40 for the X7's and you'll sometimes find the X10's for about $120.

I have found acouple high impedance IEMs, I might get acouple pairs of them soon, would a high impedance iem work? Thanks and what's the diffrence now using the LISST Tubes?

Ok great, I'm wanting to have a wider rang for sound and quality to use with my Schiit (magi modi), I might get the Bifrost latter on, but how is the new modi über, good? With the new connections to switch, would I be able to get a aux cord and listen to my radio or iphone directly through Schiit?

With being limited to IEM"s,
What's the highest/best Schiit that would be good to use?
Would I hear a good enough diffrence/quality of I got the valhalla2 for IEMs?
