The new Schiit Aegir Amplifier now shipping
porscheracer Sorry, I don’t think so, it is very close to the Vidar, I'd put money on it now seeing both viewing them, as I said probably lower rails and higher bias..

George, Just because Aegir looks like Vidar does not mean it is like Vidar. Any Class A-like design that fits in the same box as a Class AB design is going to have lower power and higher bias. There are no surprises there. Just like there are no surprises in that there are transformers, capacitors, resistors, and heatsinks used in both designs. The "whole different design" I am talking about is the high-bias Continuity design aspect. Vidar is nothing like that. Vidar is a classic Class AB amp. Aegir has an unique output stage and has a lower bias that a 20 watt Class A would have. |
This is Schiit co-founder Jason’s take on the Aegir’s design history: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/schiit-happened-the-story-of-the-worlds-most-improbable-start-up.701... |
Just because Aegir looks like Vidar does not mean it is like Vidar. Look very closely at the components and the pcb layout, if your any kind of tech you will see what I mean, and if you know different, please put a link up that proves me wrong. As I’d love for it to have totally different topology?? Cheers George celander Works for me, here they are again.
