What’s the real condition here, and do you need a backup amp while you wait for a bigger purchase? At US$629, this sits just below the US$649 median of your recent comps and comfortably inside the main used-market band, between the US$595 25th percentile and US$897 75th percentile, so it reads as a fair-to-good buy rather than a bargain or an ambitious ask.
That makes sense for a well-liked stereo power amp with a strong reputation for compact Class A-ish drive, good control, and a musical, listenable presentation that suits revealing speakers better than the spec sheet might suggest. If the unit is clean, unmodified, and includes the original power supply and any accessories, it’s a sensible grab at this level; the main thing to verify is that it’s operating quietly and that there’s no history of thermal or output-stage trouble.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Schiit Audio: Brand Overview
Schiit Audio is an American audio company founded in June 2010 by Jason Stoddard and Mike Moffat, two veteran engineers with deep roots in the high-fidelity industry. Based in California with manufacturing operations in Texas, the company emerged from a shared vision between its founders—who had reconnected after years in separate audio ventures—to democratize desktop hi-fi. The name itself, deliberately provocative, reflects Stoddard's irreverent approach to a traditionally buttoned-up market, born from his wife's exasperated suggestion during late-night garage sessions.
The company specializes in personal audio components, with a product portfolio spanning digital-to-analog converters (DACs), headphone amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated amplifier-DAC combinations. Schiit's first product, the Asgard headphone amplifier, launched in 2010, followed by the Bifrost DAC in 2011. The lineup ranges from entry-level pieces starting around $99 to premium offerings exceeding $2,000, with the company positioning itself as a leader in direct-to-consumer audio sales.
Schiit occupies a distinctive position as an accessible yet credible player in the audiophile market. Rather than pursuing ultra-premium positioning, the company has built its reputation on delivering genuine sonic performance at consumer-friendly prices—a philosophy its founders describe as trying to "out-cheap" each other. This strategy has resonated strongly; the company has grown substantially since inception, operating from a dedicated 15,000-square-foot facility and maintaining a reputation for transparency, quality engineering, and genuine engagement with the audio enthusiast community.
