Can I join? Just ordered a (Euro-version) Lyr2 to complement my HD800's.

The Valhalla 2 is the best for HD800 

Sure? I read that the Lyr2 was a notch above that. And when tubed like the Valhalka, 2 notches. Or do I read wrongly? I guess it's personal? Let's do the test! :)

Is your wallet feeling rambunctious?

is the overall opinion that the bifrost + Valhalla 2 would be best for HD600s?
 
 
what about the lyr2?
 
the lyr 2 would power more powerful cans that the valhalla 2 cant....if i wanted to buy better ones later on
 
but the sound would be worse on HD600s?

I have a Bifrost Uber and Asgard 2 hooked up to my HD600 and it's absolutely fantastic. I like a clean SS sound.

Opinion which verges on absolute fact: all 3 work superbly for hd600. Exceptions to this rule: none.

Subjectively: Sennheiser HD600/650/800 owners tend to prefer tubey amps, which--I suspect--is why many would say that Valhalla is better than Lyr.

Objectively: Valhalla 2 actually has higher output power @300 Ohms compared to Lyr. (660 mW on Lyr; 800 mW on Valhalla).

Lyr is certainly more versatile, though. 660 mW at 300 Ohms isn't bad, and you can get a maximum of 6 Watts (at 32 Ohms).

No argument there.  I use the Valhalla 2 and love it.  Lyr and Asgard sounded great when I heard them.  If I was going to have more headphones of unknown types and power demands in the future, Lyr 2 would be best bet.

Waiting for Ragnarok.

+1 Yes the Ragnarok is the amp I am saving for. I hope to order it after this month, then play the wait game. Hope your Ragnarok puts a big old smile on your face, as it's powers your favorite set of cans.:)
