ASGARD HEADPHONE AMP & PREAMP power info needed

[johnny45]

does anyone know what's the power output in low gain at 32ohms on the

ASGARD HEADPHONE AMP & PREAMP

an does the AK4490 DAC MODULE upgrade have dsd support an if so what kind

Heya,

Are you referring to Schiit Asgard 3? The latest model does 3.5W RMS into 32ohms.

Frequency Response: 20Hz-20Khz, -0.1db, 2Hz-400KHz, -3dB

Maximum Power, 16 ohms: 5W RMS per channel
Maximum Power, 32 ohms: 3.5W RMS per channel
Maximum Power, 50 ohms: 2.5W RMS per channel
Maximum Power, 300 ohms: 600mW RMS per channel
Maximum Power, 600 ohms: 300mW RMS per channel

THD: Less than 0.002%, 20Hz-20KHz, at 1V RMS, high gain mode (worst case)
IMD: Less than 0.002%, CCIF at 1V RMS, high gain mode (worst case)

SNR: More than 115db, unweighted, referenced to 1V RMS, in low gain mode

Crosstalk: Less than -82dB, 20Hz-20KHz, 300 ohm load

Output Impedance: Less than 0.2 ohms in high or low gain mode

Input Impedance: 22K ohms

Gain: High = 6 (15.6dB) or Low = 1 (0dB), via rear switch

Topology: Fully discrete, current feedback with Continuity™ constant-transconductance output stage and stacked power supply rails

Protection: Standard muting relay for delayed turn-on and fast turn-off

Power Supply: Internal 48VA power transformer with 4 separate power supply rails and over 20,000uf of filter capacitance

Power Consumption: 30W

Size: 9 x 6 x 2"

Weight: 5 lbs

APx555 Report for Asgard 3

As for DSD, it's not listed with the AK4490 upgrade. Is DSD still a thing?

Very best,

i know all the listed specs
but i also know that max power doesn't always refur to all modes
i was looking for a headphone amp that puts out at least a watt at low gain with zero db increase at 32ohms like the Asgard
but like other amps the low gain is sometimes drasticaly different so i was trying to find out what the power out is for this one in low gain
i done need db increase just power delivery my max budget is 320$b for an amp
