In Reply to: RE: The best Schiit amp for 300 ohm headphones like your Sennheisers... posted by tvr2500m on August 6, 2018 at 12:38:16:
When you choose the Valhalla 2 you are buying a headphone amp that will work with high impedance headphones like Sennheiser Massdrop 6xx cans but will not power low impedance headphones that require a decent amount of power.The Lyr 3 is an amp that can handle whatever headphones you can buy now or in the future. The Valhalla 2 is a great tubed amp that is tailored for high impedance phones only.
Some people prefer the OTL tubed amp sound and for those the Valhalla 2 is the choice. If you want an amp that will handle any headphone and you are not tied to OTL (output transformer-less) tubed design amps, the Lyr 3 is the amp to buy.
With the Lyr 3 you can switch to headphones like Audeze planar headphones and you have the amp to drive them. You can choose any headphone design and the Lyr 3 will handle them beautifully.
The Valhalla 2 is a one trick pony but it does it very well.

PS. The Wyrd does a good job of cleaning up the USB connection but to tell the truth the one thing that I tried that did the best job with the USB connection was the Pangea Silver USB cables. You can find these at Audio Advisor.
I was a bit surprised when I first tried the cable. I had a high quality copper USB cable with nice shielding. I substituted the Pangea Silver USB cable and there was a definite upgrade in the sound quality.
I know it sounds like BS but its not. I substituted the Pangea Silver USB cable, noticed the difference and replaced the original cable. The sound returned to where it was. I put the Pangea Silver USB cable back in and yes, it was an improvement.
I have nothing to do with Audio Advisor and just tried the cable to see how it worked. I have since replaced all of the USB cables with Pangea Silver USB cables.
With those cables and the Schiit Wyrd I have the best quality USB sound I have ever experienced.
