RE: Schiit Midgard headphone amp

Posted by mlsstl on January 27, 2024 at 09:23:18:
The desire for a front panel power switch has been an issue for some people on virtually every product Schiit's ever made -- I can't think of an item they've ever released with a power switch that doesn't have it on the back. I don't know if that relates to production cost efficiency, keeping the length of internal AC wiring runs short to reduce noise, or something else, but it doesn't appear its going to change after all these years.

A remote is not a big deal for me but I understand it is for some, but there goes the $219 price if they start adding every feature anyone asks for. As for the TRS v. Halo outputs, you're right, any difference is subtle, but in my book it's there. I notice it most in the midbass -- Halo just sounds more realistic to me.
