Ok, I'm sold. Schiit Lyr and Beyer T1, here I come!

Yup, and if it's not good enough I'll just fund for a Woo Audio 2.
The poison is strong in this thread.

Also, I guess I can say bye to my DACport and M50 now.

I was initially discouraged because people have claimed the Lyr lacked control and finesse.
Actually, I don't really know, I might get a Woo Audio 2, 3 or 6 instead, but I can't really audition it without my T1 now.

I can't wait for the day when I show people my collection and go "And here is where I keep my Schiit."

Regular ol' DACport, yes. You interested in buying?

The WA2 looks awesome, but I'm still wondering if the WA3 or 6 will just do the job right.
Or just take a chance with the Lyr?

Either way, my bass will be all but gone with this setup.

I'm just taking a page off jwcy's experience. I might still go for a Woo Audio 2 like what stringfellow did.
We'll see after I get my T1.

And I honestly disagree, I tried the T1 with the Govibe Portatube and its mids was more pronounced and upclose. I imagine a full desktop tube amp would do it more justice.

Depends what phones you're driving really. Asgard works well with low-impedence models; Grado, Denon, Audio Technica and up to my HiFiMan HE-500, despite being an ortho. I also heard the LCD-2 pairs well with the Asgard alternatively.
The Lyr's for the higher end of the impedence scale, but I do caution you if you plan to use low-ohm models with it. A few people have already busted their $1000 Ultrasone and AKG phones because they didn't read the manual ( or lacked any basic knowledge of electrical engineering).

For you IMO, would be better off with the Asgard if you plan on getting it, since you seem to favor AT phones.
You can safely upgrade to the AT flagship and still be oozing musical goodness with the Asgard paired.

Direct from their site. You wanna start a small distro for Schiit? lol

Still very much cheaper if you buy it individually compared to getting from a distro channel.

Ofc, this is excluding tax and other schiit...lol.

PMed you.

The T1 came knocking on my door today when I got back from work. Gonna test it out on my Asgard just for shits and giggles.

Yep, I still have 1 more amp to buy, a cable coming soon....and maybe another headphone.

Asset wise, you're still better off than me since you have a vroom-vroom.

Aside to my T1, yeah, Asgard falls short of driving the T1, it's getting respectable sound, but not to its full potential.
Sound is just okay, I'm holding off until I get my hands on a more powerful amp, preferably a tubey (WA2) or hybrid (Lyr) before I make my final word on it.

Btw, anyone here tried the T1 damping mod featured on head-fi?
Looks interesting, might give this a shot when my warranty goes poof.
