RE: Schiit Headphone amps, anyone?

I use an Asgard 2 to drive my Audeze LCD2 phones, which it does with aplomb.

One annoyance: the Asgard 2 runs in pure Class A, so it's hot. That's ok in and of itself, but the on-off toggle switch is on the back panel. There's also a hi-lo gain toggle switch back there. So you won't want to leave it on all the time, and if you use an equipment rack you'll be fumbling around blind for the right toggle switch. You have to wonder how much improvement in performance and cost was achieved by that layout.

Happy listening,

Jim
