The new Schiit Aegir Amplifier now shipping


Looks like mono configuration will not work with rca-XLR cables. Requires a true balanced connection. 20 watts a little low (for me anyway) for SE connection. I'm looking forward to reviews on this one

with any luck at all! lol

these folks have impressed me with what I've heard of their gear, especially given the costs. I very much liked the preamp a friend has which uses tubes. he has one of their lesser days yet it too hit above its cost a bunch.

By using the Vidar case and selling a bunch of these, they can make $300-$400 a unit and be fine. 

First Watt sells such few units of each model, they need to make $1500 to $2000 per unit. 




Bet this is the Vidar with lower rail volts and higher Class-A bias, maybe that why there's no internal shots of it, like the Vidar has???

No, this is a whole different design. It’s more like the Lyr 3 than Vidar. 
Schiit calls this design Continuity. Biased at less power for a higher power class A output in the class A region.  And eliminates nonlinearity at the crossover region between class A and class AB, so the output is more like class A than class AB.
