Digging that shelf unit you have, any chance you have a link?

I have a nice small side table set up but am thinking of something like this for when I move and have more space. Leaning towards Ragnarok and Yggdrassil at this point though I do like tube amp hybrids like the Lyr.

Thanks. It's a Pangea rack with vinyl carbon fiber wrap. I believe I got it at Audio Advisor. It's around $250 ish.

So does anyone have any experience comparing the Ragnarok 2 to the Ifi Ican pro signature? I like the hybrid tube design of my Lyr+ and landed on the Ican pro as a potential upgrade. Wondering how the Rag 2 compares.

Just got an email that the Ragnarok 2 is onsale from Schiit for $1K. Been eyeing the MJ3 for the past week or so... guess not anymore

Why did the cut prices so much?

 

[MHLC]

Most likely a Ragnarok 3 in the near future

Jason doesn't want to haul a bunch to Texas when they make the move. ( You have heard they are moving all operations to Texas? )

No plans for a Ragnarok 3 according to Jason. At least, not in the near term.

He has too much inventory due to COVID parts purchase commits and he doesn't want to move all that inventory to TX.

Aww man I really didn’t want another purchase this year but this is a hard one to pass up. Trying to justify how it will sound better to my partner over SMsL ao200 for my office setup. I don’t even know but I’ve just wanted a rag 2 for a while. Of course I said no more big purchases this year last week and the first thing I thought was there won’t be any Rag2 deals probably lol.

Got my Rag 2 to back from a lengthy repair (local dealers fault, not Schiit), and it`s a very good combo with Denafrips Ares 12th and Yamaha NS1000M. Beats my Lyngdorf TDAI2170 and many other amps I`ve had in my stereo system, but the Sparkos Aries beats the Rag 2 in the headfi departement, but not by much. The Rag 2 is dead silent and has an amazing midrange, really recommend this multitalent amp.

Yup. It's great.
I'm surprised why the Rag 2 doesn't get more love.

The Rag is just what I need, dual purpose amp of high quality.

The suspicious side of my mind says w/o the Rag, Schiit would sell more speaker and headphone amps. Hopefully that's not true, and like the Gungnir after a gap they'll get around to a Rag 3.

The resale of the 1 and 2 is going to be hurt - at least for a bit by this move. If there is no 3 coming, they might actually go up later.

I greatly enjoyed my Rag 2. Unfortunately it’s been inoperable for over a year due to being damaged in a flood. I ended up picking up a Midgard and Folkvangr which filled the void, but now if they’re going EOL I need to get off my butt and get it shipped back to Schiit so that it can be repaired.

Is there a way for the Rag 2 to only pass a signal to the preamp output? Maybe I'm just being obtuse, but I wasn't able to tell from the manual (only that the output selector is "to listen to speakers, headphones, or both"...but not neither!).

I'm hoping to use it as an integrated amp for several sources (CD transport, tape deck, streamer), and also to pass the signal on to other headphone amps exclusively, but it's not clear if there's a "preamp only" mode. Thanks in advance!
