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 amplier 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 nd in any headphone amplier.
This means detailed, rich, expansive sound.
We hope you enjoy your time in Asgard!

of your Asgard)
IN THE BOX
2 Power On LED.
When this is lit, the
power is on. When it’s
not lit ... well, you get
the picture here.
FRONT PANEL
1 Volume Knob. It
works exactly like
you’d expect. Turn it
to the right to make
the music louder.
Stop before smoke
comes out of your
headphones.
3 Headphone Jack.
This is where your
headphones plug in.
It is very difcult to
get satisfactory
results without
headphones. A relay
mutes the output
for 10 seconds after
turn-on, and
immediately after
turn-off.
4 Vent Holes. This
may look like a great
place to keep your
coffee warm, but
don’t. And DO NOT
BLOCK ANY OF THE
VENT HOLES. If you
do, the Norse gods
will appear and rip
your face off. Well,
maybe not.

115VAC 30W
3 Gain Switch. Up is
hi gain (6X), down is
lo gain (1.5X). Use
the low-gain setting
for sensitive head-
phones and IEMs, for
lowest noise floor.
4 On-Off Switch. Up
is on. Down is off.
Pretty easy.
1 RCA Inputs. This is
where you connect
your DAC, computer,
or other source. It
uses standard RCA
cables.
2 Preamp Outputs.
Have powered
monitors or a speaker
amp you’d like to run?
Connect it to Asgard
2’s preamp outs here.
BACK PANEL
5 AC Input. Plug the
power cord in here.
Plug the other end
into a wall outlet of
the correct voltage.
Trying to run a 115V
unit on 230V will
result in a blown fuse,
no music, and a void
warranty.
6 Disclaimer. No,
seriously. Don’t take
this apart. Don’t stick
paperclips through
the holes on the top
or side. Do not ran-
domly loosen screws.
Bad things will hap-
pen. And again, you’ll
void your warranty.

FAQ SPECS
Ihear hum through the headphones, what do I do?
You may have a ground loop. To x a ground loop, try a
GFCI outlet or a ground loop isolator.
Can I leave my headphones plugged in all the time?
Yes. Asgard 2 includes a time-delayed relay mute, so you
can leave headphones plugged in as you turn it on and off.
My Asgard 2 runs hot, is this normal?
Yep. Check the front of this owner’s manual.
No, it’s really hot!
Yes, we know. That’s how it’s supposed to run. Don’t put it
on your lap or anything. Oh, and don’t block the vents on
the side or top and don’t put it on top of any other warm
equipment.
It doesn’t turn on, what do I do?
Plug it in to a different AC socket. Ensure you are not
currently in a blackout. Then call us if it still doesn’t turn on.
Can I stand it on end so it takes up less desk space?
You bet! We’ve provided the feet separately so you can do
exactly that.
