About the Midgard
The Schiit Audio Midgard is a high-performance, fully discrete solid-state headphone amplifier and preamp designed and built in Texas, USA. It replaces the op-amp based Magnius and introduces Schiit's unique Halo™ topology, which uses mixed-mode feedback for near state-of-the-art distortion performance and transparency. Powered by a wall-wart supply, it offers balanced (XLR) and single-ended (RCA) inputs, always-on preamp outputs (XLR and RCA), two gain levels (high gain adds 14dB), and headphone outputs via 1/4" TRS and 4-pin XLR connectors utilizing Neutrik components and an Alps RK27 'Blue Velvet' volume potentiometer. Housed in a sturdy matte black metal chassis with minimalist aesthetics, it provides massive power for demanding headphones while remaining quiet enough for sensitive IEMs, earning high praise for its value, build quality, and sound in reviews from Audio Science Review, Ear-Fidelity, and others. It is currently manufactured and available directly from Schiit.
