Thank you, Werner. Your reply is most valuable to me as you posses what I was planning to purchase. I would hate to have distorted sound and I saw in another post of yours that you mention the Gator distorts the sound with dt990 after the volume knob has been pushed passed 3 O'clock. To be absolutely frank i was hoping to avoid the purchase of a headphone amp but I start to think that this is inevitable. My last hope is that the ICON HDP or something similar will be able to drive the headphones adequately. Unfortunately I live in Bulgaria and the rule around here is that if you want quality music you have to either order blind on the internet or build your own equipment. As I do not have the talent that Stan Baresford has I am pretty much dependent on the forums for feedback prior to my internet purchase.
I love the look of the valhalla. I am sure its an amazing amp even by looking at it. I am looking forward to you review of the BIFROST

As for the name "Schitt" I would love to have been able to attend the meeting where the founders of the company were suggesting different company names just to see what other names were tabled and how they ended up with Shiit. That being said if the equipment delivers quality I could not care less how it is called.

Cheers,
Ivaylo
