At A$990, this asking price is ambitious for a used Schiit Vidar, sitting well above the 75th percentile of A$865 and the median of A$794 from your comparable AUD listings. While the current retail in Australia is roughly A$1,150 (based on the A$799 US price converted), the used market for this unit typically clusters between A$736 and A$865. This listing demands a significant premium over the fair market value, making it a tough ask unless the condition is truly pristine and original-owner.
The Vidar remains a well-regarded class AB power amp praised for its 100W per channel output, robust build, and ability to drive speakers with authority, often paired with Schiit’s preamps like the Saga. Its meaningful upside includes the five-year warranty (if transferable) and its reputation as a high-performance, accessible audiophile amp. However, given the ambitious price, buyers should verify the condition carefully, confirm if accessories like the box are included, and ensure there are no age-related issues, as this is not a bargain deal.
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.
