I promise it wasn't misinterpreted ambiguity! Let's just say that it made me hold off on pulling the trigger on a Burson SL...

Interesting. I've been waiting for a few weeks now for stock to return and was about to go ahead and poke around for a used one from the trade forum here but I'll be sure to hold off just a bit longer. Which is entirely too bad since my Bifrost is just sitting here, looking very, very lonely.

Asgard 2, looks like a nice improvement: https://schiit.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=0&products_id=16

Good eye. Nice to see higher end experience filter down to lower end so quickly.

Awesome. I'm not too knowledgeable about the engineering jargon that's on the product's page, but what I do see definitely pleases. Wish I could place a pre-order through now but I suppose I can wait just a bit more.

Schiit doesn't do pre-orders anymore.

Mm, good to know. Guess I'll just have to be quick on the draw when the time comes.

 

[Defiant00]

That and it doesn't appear to be officially announced just yet, I'm guessing we'll see the usual awesome post and FAQ from Schiit in the next day or so.

 

[Maxvla]

Wonder if they've run out of clever introduction phrases yet...

 

[rdaneel]

Ah, Jason's news is breaking, though maybe not in the way he intended.  I'm sure there will be an announcement soon.  This looks like a very nice piece of kit...  I just have to decide if 1 watt is enough for the HE-500s...

 

[Maxvla]

Considering you will actually use significantly less than 1W with any headphone, yes it is.

Well, that's just kind of ridiculous. 
 
It's like Schiit has been designing statement gear, but they got some free time. So it's like "hey, let's just throw some switchable gain in there
with an preamp". 
 
No big deal...

Higher internal voltage and lower distortion. I'm interested. My old Asgard might be up for sale at a nice discount if the reviews of the new one are positive.

It's a good move to further differentiate the Asgard from the Magni. Looks like the price is staying at $249.

Hmm. I wonder what this means for those of us with an Asgard 1 on backorder...
