welcome to asgard 2!

In Norse mythology, Asgard was the city of the gods. So, yeah, a
pretty cool place to be. And a very nice place for your headphones.
Asgard 2 is the latest generation of one of the most popular
headphone amps in the world—adding conveniences like gain
switching and preamp outputs, as well as a much higher
performance amplifier topology.
Asgard 2 delivers up to 1000mW into 32 ohm headphones, and
380mW into 300 ohm headphones. What this means is that it
can drive most headphones out there, from IEMs to many popular
orthodynamics.
But that doesn’t mean Asgard is only for death metal. Asgard’s
Class-A, high-voltage, all-discrete topology takes its cues from
Mjolnir—making it one of the highest-performance no-overall-
feedback gain stages you’ll find in any headphone amplifier.
This means detailed, rich, expansive sound.
We hope you enjoy your time in Asgard!
