I just received my Lyr and Bifrost (with the USB and Uber upgrade) today. I paired them with my HD650's. Prior to this I have been using the FiiO E7. Really nice improvement across the board from what I'm hearing on day 1. More "clear", and I'm able to hear some things I haven't really heard before in certain songs I play. Very pleased with my purchase. I'm pretty curious to see how much better their Mjolnir/Gungnir is, but for now I'm really happy.

Very good choice and wait until the Lyr really opens up with the tubes.

Hey guys, I have the HD650 - which amp would pair better with it, the Lyr or Valhalla? I listen to metal predominantly.
Recently, I tried the Asgard 2 but it was not really to my liking...appreciate some advice here

If you didn't like the Asgard 2, then you may not like the house Schiit sound. While I have not heard the Lyr, I can say the Valhalla does have the same general house sound as the Asgard 2.

I found the Asgard 2 to have expansive soundstaging and good tonality but music seemed to lack body and weight, especially the midbass which I love for metal. Could the Lyr with higher power output improve on it?

No experience with the Lyr, but I went from Asgard 1, to Valhalla, and now to Mjolnir. I found by increasing the power it got more resolving, better atmosphere, soundstage, but I didn't get a thickening of the mid-bass region. I find that I get that thickening with different headphones, at least from my Schiit amps.

I am in general agreement with you that that biggest difference in mid-bass will be the headphones. Usually for me I have more of an issue with too much mid-bass not less. With the Lyr using different tubes you can focus on the mid-bass a bit.

Does releasing info and building the hype, hurt or improve sales of dacs and amps? I definitely liked it more when I knew additional tid bits of information about schiit amps every couple of months

It helps build but then, for me, it passes a point where it becomes frustrating when nothing tangible is evident.
When there is hype about a new Apple product it is all unofficial and so it can be taken lightly. Apple plays releases like its in a hold-em game. When they got the goods in hand they bet hard and strong...until then they remain alert, ready, and quiet.
