I have been using the Opus ... no amp ... imjust picked up a Valhalla2 of craiglist...

Well then grab a Fulla 2 or a Modi or a Modi Multibit.

What is your budget? There are many options especially once you have an Amp.

What will your source be?
What outputs does your source have?

Opus1, it has balanced out, and regular 3.5 out

Ah its a DAP, I just googled it.
 
So that is all you use for music?

Well then you can probably just get away with an Amp as you can't really feed a DAC with a DAP unless its has some SPDIF out.

I was already thinking the amp alone would domthe trick. For now. Lol

I am not sure how I lived without her! Damn it sounds nice... having a bit of a hum though, its really noticeable when switching tracks..

What tubes do you have in there?  Also It could be the power source or other things around it.

I am guessing it is the power source I was using... I set it up for a quick demo and had it plugged into a cheap power strip. But damn... she sounds sweet

What made you choose that one?
I looked at it but it didn't make much sense to me when I could pick a Modi Multibit + Magni 2 Uber or pay a bit more for a Asguard.

Could be the convenience of an all-in-one unit. Or possibly planning on using XLR connections.
 
The ability to use XLR in the future is why I personally upgraded to Jotunheim from Magni 2 Uber. But if you never plan to......yeah, either of those 2 choices would be good.

Just because i had,in the past, separate components and more headphones at the same time and today i'm looking for a simple and friendly system but with some quality.
Otherwise i'm tired to find the holy graal

I wonder if they are going to bring the Multibit to that product aswell.

True if you need XLR it makes sense.

You never know, but I imagine it'll be quite difficult to fit a balanced multibit setup onto a dac card the size of the one in the Joty.  Not to say that something being difficult has stopped Schiit in the past, but I would be very surprised.  I run a Modi Multibit into my Jotunheim.

Well the chip itself isn't too big, I think they can do it with some clever engineering
