Its a little bit above your budget, but the combination of a Gungnir Multibit and a Lyr2 would kick some serious butt!


What about the Jotunheim vs Lyr 2? I have not seen many comparisons of those two after 193 pages of the Jotunheim thread started by Jude.

I have the Schiit Valhalla 2 and it's super great. Was thinking which headphone would be most compatible with the amp? maybe the sennheiser hd650? I'm currently pairing it with the beyerdynamic dt990 premium with a dragonfly red as well.

I've been trying to find a pair of headphone that is a good combo with the valhalla 2, I've been looking at the lcd-2 for a long time however I've read some conflicting information on wether or not they pair well with the lcd-2s

Anyone think they can shine some light on my dilemma and if they don't pair well what's a good choose in that price range

I've heard its good with the Sennheiser HD650 :)

I have heard the Gumby is bright and the Bimby is warm. Can anyone that has heard both confirm or refute? I would think they should be pretty close.

Hello schiit owners!

I am a vinyl record lover and would love to put some schiit products between my rega rp8 and my sennheiser hd800.

What would you recommend me?

Best regards


I don't have HD800's But I use a Mani going into a Valhalla 2. Depending on what Cartridge you are using, The mani is more flexible and has gotten very good reviews. If you are running a MC cartridge a mani will work but the Phono Stage in the Jotunheim will not. It is spec'd for MM only. I Can't speak for the Jot as I have not heard one but The Valhalla 2 drives High Impedance cans well and I really enjoy the sound of it with Vinyl.

I'm already bored of Christmas. This mainly because I seem to be cursed to the fact that when I walk into anywhere that is playing Festive tunes, I somehow have timed it perfectly so that the song I immediately or next hear is Slade's 'Merry Xmas Everybody' which in the UK is pretty much the standard Christmas theme.

In the USA it is one of three songs: "A Wonderful Christmas Time" by Wings, Mariah Cary's "All I Want for Christmas is You" or every R&B Singer Ever's version of "This Christmas"  haha

I hear those and "Hey Santa" by the Wilson sisters along with "Baby it's Cold Outside" by various couples.

So I have been absent from Head-Fi for a while... Seems like Multibit is the real deal huh? Anyone send in a Gungir for upgrade or do a side-by-side comparison and have thoughts on the difference?

I have read that more people seem to like Multibit over Delta Sigma.

Welp I am joining the Schiit family with a few little amps, I already owned the Modi 2 Uber and Magni 2 Uber and just ordered a Valhalla 2 last night.  I owned a set of HD650 cans I can not wait to hear the valhalla with all the talk about how well it pairs with the HD650 cans. 
 
I asked in another thread but for people using a single DAC how do you guys recommend to split the output to different amps?
