This leans slightly buyer-friendly: at £105, it lands right on the median of recent used GBP listings, so it reads as a fair price rather than a standout bargain or an overreach. With the 25th percentile at £101 and the 75th at £172, this is comfortably in the normal band for the model, and a clean example at this figure is easy to justify.
The appeal here is the Asgard 2’s straightforward, muscular solid-state sound and its reputation for driving a wide range of headphones with ease. It’s the sort of amp that stays relevant because it does the basics well: decent power, low fuss, and a pleasantly hefty presentation. At this price, the main things to check are simple ownership details and whether it’s been used hard; otherwise, it looks like a sensible buy for someone wanting a capable desktop amp without paying a premium.
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.
