Missed it, relax bro.
Just poking a little fun since it was twice in a row
Missed it, relax bro.
Anyone listened to the Modi paired with the Valhalla? How would it compare with the bifrost? I'd like to get a DAC soon, but I don't really want to spend the extra $250 on the Bifrost if it's not $250 better than the Modi...
The valhalla will not bring out the full detail of the bifrost,
Why not?
Thanks.
I think they general implication is that the Valhalla is geared towards a warmer, more tube-y sound instead of highly detailed or analytical.
Just my interpretation of Llloyd's statement as I have never heard the Valhalla.
Having owned the Valhalla, I disagree. It is quite neutral. It has a hint of midrange tube magic, but it is not a warm amp. Neutral, with some liquid properties, and slight reduction in sibilance. Not much treble roll off to mention. It has great detail retrieval.
I just picked up the Asgard-first amp for my first cans-Grado 225i. I'm interested in what other Asgard owners have paired with their Asgard?
The Modi looks like a steal. Any Asgard/Modi owners out there? Or do the Asgards fair better with a Bilfrost for few more $? Or, a DAC from a different company? Or,even a portable amp and dac?
Much Thanks...
I have a Beyer T1 and Denon D7k. I want to find a Schiit amp that can pair well with them. Any suggestions?
I'm using Cambirdge Audio Dac Magic plus as my DAC. I prefer a warm signature amp.
Thanks.

I have Asgard with HD800 and lcd2. Asgard has power to drive them quite nicely.
Are you paring your Asgard w/ a DAC or no?
I have bifrost with Asgard. highly recommand this combo but if you have another Dac. that will also work.
Thanks-with my ever growing audio wishlist, I was hoping to pinch my pennies a little....but, maybe it's better to spring for the better product if it's worth the long term investment in music quality. I'm wondering how much better the Billfrost/Asgard combo would be vs Modi/Asgard....guess that's hard to say, no?
