UK Tube pre/headphone amps

[Werner Berghofer]

in the £500 range

It’s not an UK product, and I don’t know the tax situation in the UK, but including express shipment from California and Austrian sales tax the price for my Schiit Valhalla was £ 300.–



Highly recommended, very good sounding, built like a tank and drives my AKG K701 and Beyerdynamic DT990 headphones with joy and delight.

In June Schiit Audio will announce a line of DACs. Shipment of the first DACs is expected to start mid August.

Nice amp. I had my eye on the Schiit Lyr, but it will cost at least £500 to get here, while it's value is $450 (£275). No chance :¬)

Ross,

I had my eye on the Schiit Lyr

holy cow! Are you sure you need a power station like the Lyr?

[Yoga]

Exactly!

Going to be driving Dynaudio MC-15 studio monitors and some Audeze LCD-2's, so more oomph will come in handy.

Long shot here, can you make a 3-in-1, like the Burson 160D? DAC, preamp and headphone amp? Very tempted by your builds, still waiting on the info regarding the DAC we spoke of before :¬)

Yes, thats entirly doable. Still messing with the DAC board at the moment.
