Schiit Asgard 3 vs Valhalla 2: Which amp is right for you?

[@johnnie13577]

I bought the Valxala 2 yesterday. What a special headphone amp it is. I couldn't sleep. I was blown away listening to jazz with my Sennheiser Hd 650! Thanks for your nice review. Johnnie from Athens Greece.

Congratulations! That's the one big downside of the Valhalla - it leads to sleepless nights. Thanks for watching.

I have the Sennheiser HD800S that I plug in the Valhalla 2 that is fed by the Mojo 2. It sound amazing!

Excellent analysis of these two great amps. It answered the age old question, which one do I buy?? Answer: Both!

I’ve been reluctant to buy another Schiit product after I’ve had two break on me.

[@headspaceav]

Wow. If you haven’t already I’d reach out to Schiit and try to send them in for a fix. I think you may be surprised, they might not even charge you.

Let's saw someone bought both Amps and want to drive both by the same DAC, what's the easiest way to switch between them without swapping cables?

[@headspaceav]

I am using a simple switch from Amazon. Search for “Solupeak U31.” Relatively inexpensive but good build quality and I’ve had no troubles with mine. There are many others like it to choose from.

[@smckinnon]

@@headspaceav yeah this looks perfect. Is there any noise introduced or degradation of the signal quality?

[@headspaceav]

Sorry for the delayed reply! I haven’t detected any sound degradation with it in place. And it beats swapping cables!

love the Asgard, you can try headphone or IEM. I use Modi => Loki => Asgard => ATH-R70X (460ohm) and I absolutely recommend the whole stack.
