The Midgard is Schiit's fully-discrete replacement for the (by Jason's own words) very forgettable op-amp based Magnius. It also has a pretty cool trick up its sleeve with its Halo topology circuit, but it's only active from its XLR4 output.

Price is $219.00

Placed my order. It’s going be a long three weeks!

I'm really curious to find out how you feel the Midgard compares to your Magnius. Please let us know!

 

[Hyde00]

I'm curious which direction this amp is going.

For example it says it measure really well, so is it meant to sound like Magni Heretic? So if I want something more in the tubey direction like Magni Piety, should I skip this?

Then there's the Halo thing which I actually have no clue what it does yet, I guess I'll wait for more impressions lol.

Hopefully someone can do an Asgard vs Midgard comparison.

Alright here's my first impression: Schiit has once again created a product I don't need but am having irrational thoughts on how I could justify it, simply because I want to try it.

I'm waiting for a proper review

Great, look forward to that ... would you be able to try planars on it ??

What makes a review ‘proper’? .

Strict adherence to the dress code and posh adjectives imported from the south of Texas.

Proper reviews are ones that start with "Dear Sirs and Madams" and end in "Sincerely yours".

 

[ezkcdude]

Schiit, I have a Magnius.

Yes, I will use Rosson Audio Designs Rad "0" planars, Final Audio D8000 pros planars, ZMF VC dynamics, ADX 5000 dynamics (420 ohms)...
