I'm thinking of upgrading to a Schiit amp with a pre-out option to connect to my desktop speakers. I see that the Asgard 2 states that it has a preamp output connection, what about asgard 1 or the Lyr?

Lyr gives you the added bonus of tube rolling. Unfortunately, it gives the added cash burden of being skint for about 6 months, as you scour eBay for everything you have read about in the tube rolling threads.
This man never said a truer word. I have three pairs of tubes coming a week after getting the Lyr. Another head-fier has confessed to amassing a tube supply before getting a Lyr. The next stage of madness is only buying the best tubes and then not using them for fear of wearing them out. Help!
And I've got it bad - the memory has come back to me of the valves glowing happily in the family radiogram in the 1950s, There is nothing left between me and a credit card exhausted by tubes...is this a recognized addiction?

The wallet worries of you headphone amp tube rollers are hilarious. Try it with speaker amps-- NOS rectifiers and pairs of input tubes (but you need at least three matched in case one fails), matched quads of power tubes (but you need to buy a matched sextet in case one fails), then you still "hope" you like the tubes you're buying. It's a rough deal.
Amplifiers for boxes which, when placed in a room, emit sound that may closely resemble music, while at the same time creating painful room interaction resonances.
Thankfully, the "rooms" our headphones play in don't have this problem.
That pic of the 1280 doesn't do it justice. It's a stunning piece of gear in person. To me, these old receivers just seem to have a soul to them. Man, do they make some beautiful music. And will drive anything on the planet including the he-6 with aplomb.
