Schiit Audio Asgard X
“Back to the past, forward to the future,” is the best description of Asgard X. Combining elements of the original 2010 Asgard, including no-feedback, JFET-input discrete design with a new Class A version of Continuity™, Asgard X brings much Mjolnir 3 to a smaller, friendlier design. And, it accepts our Mesh™ DAC card with Forkbeard, for an insanely capable all-in-one option.
Rediscover Simplicity
Asgard X strips away complexity, giving you only what you need for fantastic sound. An uber-simple no-feedback single gain stage, based on matched discrete JFETs and BJTs, fronts our Continuity A™ output stage. Continuity A means that both NPN and PNP devices are conducting on both positive and negative rails—something that push-pull Class A amps can’t even claim.
Experience Halo X™
Asgard X’s innovations don’t stop at Continuity A. It also includes Halo X™--an extension of our Halo mixed-mode feedback system introduced on Midgard. This allows you to include the driver in Asgard X’s feedback loop—without it having any feedback itself! Halo X is available via the 4.4mm balanced connector, allowing you to compare Halo X with standard output via the 1/4” single-ended jack.
Make it All in One
Add the optional Mesh™ DAC card to make your Asgard an all-in-one desktop control center. Featuring Schiit’s unique digital filter, the Mesh card combines the best of our own R&D with an excellent delta-sigma output stage, for incredible sound you won’t get anywhere else. And, the Mesh DAC card includes Forkbeard, giving you a 3-band parametric EQ, balance, loudness, and volume, as well as additional DAC features like NOS mode and absolute phase switching.
Designed and Built in the USA
By “designed and built in the USA" this is what we mean: the vast majority of the total production cost of Asgard X—chassis, boards, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Our chassis and transformers are made in California. Our PCBs are made in California or Utah, and it all comes together in our San Antonio facility.
5-Year Warranty, Easy Returns
Asgard X is covered by a 5-year limited warranty that covers parts and labor. And if you don’t like your Asgard, you can send it back for a refund, minus 5% restocking fee, within 15 days of receiving it.
