Apparently, there are guys that know about this DAC and they are in demand on that auction site. Yeah, it is too bad its no longer made.

No, IIRC, Asgard was.
Bifrost was their first DAC. I bought one in 2012, IIRC, and it blew my $1200 Wadia 121 completely into the weeds. Loki was a "testing of the waters" for both Schiit and customers. There was a lot of buzz around DSD (much as their is around MQA today) as being the hot new format, so Schiit put one out to see if it would fly. They admitted they were skeptical it would sell and they were 100% right; it did not sell. This is one of the reasons they are not doing MQA; they learned this lesson with DSD. Schiit's view is that 99.5% of digital content is PCM, so that is what they are going to focus on providing to customers. Hence their motto, "...for the music you already own, rather than have to re-buy...."

Would love to find the original Asgard. Would be fun to own their very first.

Loki, the Trickster God of the Norse pantheon, has been reborn as a 4 band analog equalizer in the Schiit line-up.

There have been hints in another forum from Jason Stoddard (co-founder and analog designer) that if the Loki sells well there might be a fully-balanced EQ in the future.

* Loki Mini also features gentle control and rational ranges to allow for precise and subtle tonal alterations. Potentiometers are progressive, so that a full 30 degrees is needed for the first dB of boost or cut. Loki Mini offers adjustment center frequencies of 20 Hz, 400 Hz, 2kHz, and 8kHz. 20Hz and 8kHz offer +/-12dB of adjustment, while 400Hz and 2kHz offer +/-6dB. |
