Heh, I wonder if the equipment from the DEW line is sitting in a warehouse somewhere. I bet they used tubes. I have this image of you plucking them off gear & plugging them into your Valhalla.

hehehe good call... actually, i think i saw a batch of tubes at the government surplus auction site a few years ago... i should keep an eye open just in case...

has anyone heard of any chance of the lyr 3 coming in black? or am i asking to much lol

 

[mahesvara]

Black editions are available with Schiit Audio whenever they get a batch of chassis that are imperfect and there's nothing to do except to paint it black. So it's very unpredictable. I asked Schiit the same question once and that's what they told me.

 

[Th3Drizzl3]

yeah i knew that i was hoping maybe someone heard something lol

So...

I got an AudioEngine N22 to pair up with my UberFrost (since @Jason Stoddard refuses to make me such an amp .

Wondering if anyone has seen feet to put the UberFrost in the same orientation as the N22?

I use a Valhalla 2 with Mr Speaker Alpha primes as well as other Fostex planars on occasion. I also use the planars with a Lyr 2. Both with great results IMHO. Generally I go for more tube sound than the Valhalla but I still run it now and then.

What tubes are you using? Will that make a difference?

 

[Paladin79]

I am using stock tubes but I have tried various others and honestly could not hear a lot of difference. YMMV.

How do I connect my Valhalla 2 to my Pioneer VSX-92TXH receiver so I can hear my HDMI sources? Tried every connection. No audio is being output through HD650 headphones connected to Valhalla 2. Thanks!

Do you have a left and right stereo analog preout, rca?

That's a monster of an AV receiver, a bit unconventional for a headphone amp source.

I haven't had a receiver in a very long time but I'm guessing it has Tape Out (outputs). Run the cables from your Tape Out on the receiver to your Valhalla. I hope this helps.

Or... as Finisher said, you can also use Preamp outputs to the headphone amp. Good luck!

It has front left and right rca preouts.

 

[ev99]

Yes it has preouts but when I connect them I hear nothing. What source would it play? I only have HDMI in from 3 separate sources. I hear none of those. Tape out provides no audio either. Yes it’s a monster of a receiver or was. Kind of old now. Monster price too.
