Schiit Magni 3 VS Asgard 2
I think it does not matter to me, I mean their current production etc. What matters is the sound and the difference, I am sure for many years even from now people will be talking about them just like we talk about the 1960's and 70's vintage stereo amplifiers.- nofacemonster

Schiit Magni 3 VS Asgard 2
This probably be my final verdict. It was raining all evening and I got nothing better to do but to AB these two amplifiers with all my favorite tracks. I am submitting my results so if someone stumble upon this thread in the future it could be useful to him or her. This is based on my ears and...- nofacemonster

Schiit Magni 3 VS Asgard 2
Thank you for the input!!! I really appreciate it, so there is a difference. I think Asgard 2 has a difference in larger margin when compared to magni 3. Especially in the highs region when used as a preamp for a stereo amplifier.- nofacemonster

Review of the Little-Dot MKII Tube Headphone Amp/Pre-Amp
I have the asgard 2. I used to own LD MK2, and asgard 2 is far better than LD MK2, as a headphone amp and as a preamp for big stereo power amp that drives speakers.- nofacemonster

Review by 'nofacemonster' on item 'Schiit Asgard 2'
I've had FX Audio DAC-X6, then moved on to Little Dot MKII and upgraded the tubes. I've used couple of more headphone amplifiers and finally I managed to get my hands on a ASGARD 2. I was simply blown away by the sound of it. my HD-6XX never sounded better than this. It simply put my previous LD...- nofacemonster

Reply to review by 'nofacemonster' on item 'Schiit Asgard 2'
I had this hum problem because Asgard 2 I have is from USA with 115VAC power supply. Where I live has 230V power and the issue is in my home the power drops to 200V so typical 110~120V stepdown really didn't provide enough power to the asgard so it hums. Happens with Magni 3 too. I found a...- nofacemonster

Schiit Magni 3 VS Asgard 2
I've been using Asgard 2 for more than a year with my HD6XX and I absolutely adore it. I could listen to it for hours and no fatigue at all. About a week back i took to my friend who is a speaker user (not a headphone user) and let him hear it on his Tannoy 15 Inch gold monitors hooked to a...- nofacemonster

Schiit Asgard 2 and the heat related question!
I have a Schiit Asgard 2 and I love it. All my late evening and night listening sessions were done with it paired with a HD6XX. However I am little concerned over how hot it gets after 1 to 1 1/2 hours of usage. Will this effect the amp negatively in the long run...? it is operated in an air...- nofacemonster

Is what's in the image is correct? (TRN earphones)
I found it on the below URL. If what this image says is correct the cables polarity is wrong. L side is correct and the L emblem should face outward. R side it will be incorrect if the R emblem faces outwards. It is correct when the emblem faces inward but the plug that connect to socket goes in...- nofacemonster

Has anyone tried amping old KZ ZS5?
I know i am about to talk about pretty old stuff, probably nobody cares. I have a pair of KZ ZS5 which bought about 6 or 7 years back for my portable listening when I go around. They are still with me with upgraded cables and sounds pretty good, but i seldom used them after the covid crisis...- nofacemonster
