Just placed an order for the Valhalla 2 , my first schiit , lets see if this schiit is good ! 
Not to happy about the OI at low gain being 3.5 , would have liked it under 1 but well you got the Lyr for that , quite excited about the OTL Voltage

One complaint.  Since getting the Valhalla 2 I have gained weight and lost fitness, since I have been engrossed in the headphone music.  It cuts into my exercise time.  Perhaps I should sue?


Bill, same here with my Lyr 2, I'm smelling Class Action Baby :sweat_smile:!

Last year I went to an audio show, and it did occur to me that if I was starting an army, or even a softball team, I would NOT have started my recruiting there.


Bill, I resemble that remark, Sir!

Very nice. I'm probably going to go with a Valhalla 2 to pair with my Premium-600's, so it's nice to hear that you're happy with the pairing.

The 880s pair quite well , they sound quite excellent 
The resolution is pretty impressive ! 

I use my 990pro with the Lyr, I love the pairing but it's still probably too much amp for them lol

True , but the 880 you see in the pic is actually a very rare 600ohm Pro , so at 600 it sounds really good at HG (14 ohms OI) :D 
On the other hand when I plug my 770s Pro (250) there's just a lot of headroom

Ahh I had no idea there was 600ohm versions of the 880pro. Very cool, I'm sure they sound legit with the Valhalla.

Hi Jason, just bought a Modi DAC last week and I have to say that it's phenomenal! Great sound and awesome build quality for a great price; and I find that it beats my MSII hands down! Thank you! Will not hesitate to recommend your products to all my family and friends! My question though is about the Valhalla 2, as I plan to get one next month. Will the Valhalla 2 run the Hifiman HE400 at usable levels? At what position on the Valhalla 2 (o'clock-wise) will it drive the HE400 to usable levels? Thanks.

From the Schiit website:
 
Email: info@schiit.com (by far, fastest response)
 
And they do respond very quickly. I asked several questions prior to purchasing a couple of things from Schiit, and responses came in minutes, not hours or days.
