About the Valhalla

The original Schiit Audio Valhalla is a Class A, all-triode, output-transformerless (OTL) headphone amplifier designed primarily for high-impedance headphones. It uses a single-ended, non-inverting circuit with no feedback and has RCA inputs, a 1/4-inch headphone output, and a front-panel volume control. This is the original Valhalla, not the later Valhalla 2 or Valhalla 3.
