Midgard

Midgard is a Schiit Audio headphone amplifier and preamplifier made in the USA, with balanced and single-ended inputs and XLR and RCA preamp outputs. Its fully discrete, DC-coupled gain stage uses a highly linear open-loop design with low loop feedback; the front-panel 4-pin XLR output adds Halo™ mixed-mode feedback, while the ¼-inch TRS output uses standard feedback. It provides up to 5.5 W RMS per channel at 16 ohms and 4.8 W at 32 ohms, with gain settings of 0 dB or 14 dB, Neutrik connectors, Alps switches, an Alps RK27 potentiometer, film and silicon capacitors, and MELF resistors in critical stages.
