About the Vidar
The Schiit Audio Vidar 2 is a high-end power amplifier that combines affordability with no-compromise audio engineering. It features a fully discrete, current-feedback Class A/B topology with a linear power supply and microprocessor-controlled intelligent monitoring. The amplifier can operate in stereo mode with RCA inputs or in dual-mono configuration using balanced XLR inputs, making it versatile for various audio system configurations. Its compact form factor, front-panel standby switch for power savings, and robust protection circuitry make it suitable for both dedicated audiophiles and modern listening environments. The design eschews Class D modules, switching power supplies, and output stage op-amps in favor of traditional high-fidelity architecture.
