Schiit - Lyr 3
Desktop Headphone DAC & AmpGET 18% GST INPUT
One of the reasons headphones and earphones in India are more expensive than overseas is because of the Goods & Services Tax in India.
Don't let the GST input go to waste especially if you can avail an offset.
All products sold on Headphone Zone carry a GST compliant invoice and all products sold include an 18% GST.

DESCRIPTION
FLEXIBLE...LIKE A GYMNAST
The Schiit Lyr 3 lets you choose between multiple modules or even to not have a module. Pick the Multibit DAC Module to get Schiit’s multi-bit DAC architecture & unique digital filter or the AK4490 DAC Module for a world-class delta-sigma DAC or even MM Phono Input Module, for passive RIAA, 42dB of gain & great phono sound. You can even pick from the internal card or rear-panel analogue input as well as between high or low gain.
ONE TUBE, TWO TECHNOLOGIES
The Lyr 3 delivers a great sound with a single NOS 6N8S tube. It can work with any NOS and new-production 6SN7 tube. The Coherence™ hybrid topology uses a unique current-mode, noninverting tube/BJT hybrid topology that eliminates the need for interstage coupling capacitors. Continuity™, a constant transconductance output stage, provides superior performance along with a 100% linear power supply.
DRIVES WITH THE HIGHEST QUALITY
Be it a power-hungry headphone or a sensitive IEM, the Lyr 3 can drive just about any audio device you have. All your headphone needs is a 3.5mm jack and that’s it; you can plug-in and enjoy great sound. You don't need a balanced connection to take full advantage of it.

FAQs
Hey, wait a minute, this is completely different than Lyr and Lyr 2!
Right. Like we said, we had to reinvent the whole thing in order to improve it significantly.
Butó_butó_butó_I have about $4,537 in tubes for my Lyr 2, but now you changed the tube type!
Well, leaving aside the sanity of spending 10x the amount in tubes as on the amp, yes, life is unfair; change is the only constant; you have to break eggs to make omelets, and all those platitudes that you probably don't want to hear. So, here's the deal: we changed tube type (from noval, 6DJ8-family tubes, to octal, 6SN7-family tubes) because they sound better and perform better. In fact, the 6SN7 tube family is one of the most linear tubes ever made---s evidenced by the amazing performance of Lyr 3 in high gain mode.
Butó_I still have all these tubes for the old Lyr!
Yes, and if you want to use them, you can still use them in Lyr 3, with an adapter. Lyr 3's plate voltage isn't very different than Lyr or Lyr 2.
But, er, I stilló_ah, schiit, can you use LISST in Lyr 3?
Yes, either the noval LISST (with an adapter) or the new octal LISST will be fine. They're the same internally.
Sigh. Okay. I get it. If I'm using one of your preamps like Saga and Freya, can I use the same tubes there?
Absolutely.
Okay, so tell me about these crazy new technologies you're pimping. Coherence? Continuity? What the hell are those?
Cool. Let's start with Coherence. This is our unique current-mode, noninverting tube/BJT hybrid topology that eliminates the need for interstage coupling capacitors. These two disparate devices work seamlessly together in this topology, hence the name. Coherence debuted in Vali 2, but Lyr 3 uses an insanely upgraded and tweaked version of the Vali 2 stage. Unlike Vali 2, Lyr 2 has no input or output capacitors, no interstage capacitors, and an overkill 5-pole bias servo.
Well, like, that's cool and all, but I don't understand all the engineering.
Hey, you know, that's your choice. But if you want to start selecting products based on something more than marketing buzzwords, it might be cool to read up a bit more on this. Again, try Bob Cordell. Or not. It's your life.
But I want balanced!
Cool, there's Jotunheim.
Okay, fine. So let's talk about this modularity. It's like Jotunheim?
Yep. It even takes the same modules.
But what if I want two modules?
Then you need a chassis that is a tesseract, because we don't have that much space in this dimension. Talk to Doctor Who.
Can I change the modules myself?
Like all of our products, there are no user-serviceable parts inside. However, if you are a qualified electronics technician, or know a qualified tech, you can order the boards separately, under 'upgrades.' They just plug in. But it's not like you'd want to leave the top off and drop in the DAC card, then pull it out and put the phono card in again, then pull that out and drop the DAC back in. That's a bit silly.
Let's talk practicality. Is this quiet enough for IEMs?
Yes, in low gain mode.
And it has enough power foró_
ó_any headphone, yes.
So can I leave my headphones plugged in all the time?
Yes, Lyr 3 has a muting relay which delays output on first turn-on, and mutes the output on turn-off.
Does the volume control adjust the preamp outputs?
Yes.
Can I turn off the headphone outs when I'm using the preamp outputs?
The preamp outputs are automatically turned off when you plug in your headphones. Unplug your headphones to use the pre outs.
You know this sucker runs hot, right?
Yes, though technically it dissipates 12W less at idle than Lyr 2, and about 10W more at idle than Jotunheim. All of these dissipations are well within the capability of the parts we're using, so there you go.

Can I change the modules myself?
Like all of our products, there are no user-serviceable parts inside. However, if you are a qualified electronics technician, or know a qualified tech, you can order the boards separately, under 'upgrades.' They just plug in. But it's not like you'd want to leave the top off and drop in the DAC card, then pull it out and put the phono card in again, then pull that out and drop the DAC back in. That's a bit silly.
Let's talk practicality. Is this quiet enough for IEMs?
Yes, in low gain mode.
And it has enough power foró_
ó_any headphone, yes.
So can I leave my headphones plugged in all the time?
Yes, Lyr 3 has a muting relay which delays output on first turn-on, and mutes the output on turn-off.
Does the volume control adjust the preamp outputs?
Yes.
Can I turn off the headphone outs when I'm using the preamp outputs?
The preamp outputs are automatically turned off when you plug in your headphones. Unplug your headphones to use the pre outs.
You know this sucker runs hot, right?
Yes, though technically it dissipates 12W less at idle than Lyr 2, and about 10W more at idle than Jotunheim. All of these dissipations are well within the capability of the parts we're using, so there you go.

"The Lyr 3 to me is a highly musical sounding device that really gets you into the music again, where you lose all sight of critical listening and just enjoy what is in front of you."
