I must have lost track of a few days, is it the fifth of April already?:wink_face:

I think Rodat had finger-trouble... It was Sunday 2nd April 2017.

I know, just being facetious.

The British are ahead of us in so many ways...

Hi All, I have pushed back the magical button of the time machine and I am now back in this era, and I can tell you how wonderful the future is for proud Schiit amplifier owners OK I have rectified the typo and yes it was April 2nd, well done for spotting that.

What do you mean by that?

Hi Jimster480, I made a previous post about a HeadFi venue in London (UK) that I attended last Sunday and accidentally wrote that it happened on Sunday April 5th

So, the Schiit Sys, I remember people using it in reverse so it can be 1 input and two output.
 
So I basically want to do bifrost to asgard and bifrost to audioengine N22 speaker amp.

Ah okay

I asked Schiit the same question, apparently that will work fine, you just need to have the volume control turned fully up.

Yep, it will work fine.  I use mine like that.
 
The electrons do not care which way they are going...

Well what I meant was which ones become the input and which becomes output

The input becomes the one output, and the two outputs become the two inputs.

Awesome, thanks!

   I use my Valhalla 2 in the same way, as a preamp for over half the time. It really does add a fullness to the sound. If I had one request of Schiit , it would to have the preamp out active all the time, rather than be controlled by the headphone jack.  When I plug or unplug the headphones it makes a very loud noise in my speakers.

I know there have been a few suggestions for dealing with this but another (and a good general audio practice to get into) is to turn the volume all the way down before unplugging/plugging.  
 
Turning down before switching inputs on any amp is a great habit to get in and turning the volume down for power-up/power-down as well.  Even some of the most high-end amps can be prone to "pops" when powering up or changing inputs or you can get a significant volume change from input to input.  Either of these situations can possibly damage your speakers and headphones. Getting into good consistent habits of power-up order, input switching, etc. can save you a serious "oh schiit" moment somewhere down the road!
 
(my apologies for the schiit pun but I haven't used one in several years and couldn't help myself haha)

Ahem, so hooked my SYS up like you guys told me to. Awesome, it works. And so does the volume...oddly enough? I don't need it cranked all the way up for the switch to work in reverse so the volume knob still works. Just set the volume to max on the sys and then adjusted the headphone amp and my speaker up to a volume I'm max comfortable with then just the sys to adjust the volume down to a normal level.
