Schiit Valhalla 3 - Impressions Thread

Well, I guess my Schiit shopping cart will include Valhalla 3, Saga 2, and possibly "Mimir" (???) next week. We shall see how this all plays out. ACP commented that his work this past week involved both FB and "Mimir". 🤔

Aside: Which headphone will you hook up to the Valhalla 3 first?

My only Sennheiser at the moment is the HD 560s so I'll give that a go at some point. But my Stabilized Atrium Open will get the first crack on the Valhalla 3. I might end up getting an HD600/650/6XX at some point again if I really like the Valhalla 3. I had the 6XX and 600 with a Bottlehead Crack OTL a few years ago and it was really nice

I'm looking forward to your impressions of the Valhalla 3. I know that you've been anxiously awaiting it.

Thanks, hopefully my post won't be all over the place. 🤪

I already moved the Vali 3 to the listening chair setup in preparation. Yet I still need to free up my Bifrost 2 from the living room setup to pair with the Vali 3. Yeah... I tend to move things around a lot. 😅

I use the same stands.
Yeah they work really well for this use case, and I currently have four of them, but the most recent ones have plastic legs now.

Edit: I will most likely buy another one to put over the Valhalla 3 so that I can keep my stand for my Atrium Open above it. The legs will have to be extended a notch or two to allow for the heat dissipation though. :wink:

If the Valhalla 3 can drive my planars and HD-600 very well, than my Rag 2 and BHCs might well be gone. Awaiting commentary.

I think I've talked myself into the Valhalla 3. Sold my euforia to purchase a sus but still want an otl amp in my lineup. Also I bet it would be a nice pre for my pietus maximus.

We have all had nearly a whole year to talk ourselves into a Valhalla 3. 🤪

Since it is supposed to play nice with both Planars and Dynamics I have high hopes for it in my setup. :L3000:

My Atrium Open and Horizon Open are ready and waiting. :wink:
