The Aegir is $799 in the US, £800 in the UK, and AU$1,299 in Australia. Schiit does not give much for that, and I understand why.
If one only considers the Aegir’s sonic performance per se, it would qualify as a stone bargain for those of High-End audiophile sensibilities. You do the math. That sweet-sounding combo helped me remember why I hold the Stanley Brothers in such high lonesome reverence. The precursor for the term “Digititis” was “Transistor-itis”, dating back to the first solid-state amps of the mid-1960’s. I tried only connecting the power cord to it (no interconnect, no speaker cables, etc), it still has the humming noise from the unit. Gorgeous sound erupted out of dead silence, just as it should.

Furthermore, since a pair of Aegirs run as monoblocks (balanced-mode XLR connection only) can produce 80 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms, Schiit claims “Class A-like” performance up to that power level. It’s still one very hot-running amp.

In short the timbral reproduction of the Aegir was exemplary, its frequency range continuous and uniform, without favoring any particular band of frequencies.
The better we can identify the instruments playing and their position in space, the less mental effort we extend into this basic perceptual orienting task. His blog is an international treasure for audio hardware engineering." This issue has 5 outstanding pieces including two from HR, the AWSi, the Barton/ John Atkinson piece, and the Cary story. Or, if you're nearby, you can listen to all our gear at The Schiitr, our new retail store. It meant the same thing: harshness, artificial brightness, glare, pain, and listening fatigue. Not anymore. Input Impedance: 22k ohms SE, 44k ohms balanced, Inputs: L/R RCA jacks for stereo input, single XLR for mono input, Topology: Fully complementary, all-BJT, current feedback, no coupling capacitors or DC servos with Continuity™ constant transconductance output stage, Oversight: microprocessor-controlled monitoring and management of critical operational points, including DC offset, with standby mode and relay shut-down for overcurrent, thermal, and other faults. Steve Guttenberg, CNET "Fueled by the Aegir, the LS50's sound took on a burnished glow, with the tone richer and sweeter than I'm used to. This doesn’t mean that it’s liquid-cooled, nor do we intend to add liquid cooling, nor is it a veiled attempt to inject audiophilic words like “liquid” into this conversation.
