De schiit midgard halo, een high‑performance hoofdtelefoonversterker en pre‑amp met schiit’s unieke halo™ topologie – ontworpen voor maximale controle en dynamiek in je audio‑set‑up. Belangrijkste ken
At €319, this asking price matches the new retail cost exactly, making it ambitious compared to the typical used market where the median sits at €131 and the 75th percentile is only €259. For a used unit, you are paying roughly €60 more than the highest 25% of recent comparable listings, so this is not a bargain but a premium price for a product that should be worth significantly less in the secondary market.
The Midgard remains a standout buy because it introduces Schiit’s Halo topology, delivering a transparent, discrete balanced amplification path that outperforms much more expensive competitors when using the XLR output. It offers 5.5W at 16 Ohms with a pre-out for system flexibility, making it a versatile, high-value foundation for serious headphone setups. If the unit is in original-owner condition with all accessories, it could still be a worthwhile opportunity for those who want new-performance reliability at a used price, though the €319 tag demands confidence in that pristine state.
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.
