DESCRIPTION
PRESENTING THE ALL-NEW HYBRID HEADPHONE AMP AND PREAMP - THE LYR+
Since the company's founding in 2010, Schiit has been a stalwart in the audio industry. All Schiit products have a lot of versatility and are very adaptable. The company is known for its headphone line-up, which offers raw power without jitter or distortions. Schiit, with its all-new Lyr+, has broken all barriers in terms of technology. The Schiit Lyr+ is a super-high-end, super-powerful, tube hybrid headphone amp and preamp. It is the only headphone amp in the world that goes seamlessly from tube to solid state, using Schiit's exclusive Fusion Architecture™.
OFFERS THE VERSATILITY OF SOLID-STATE AND TUBE AMP WITH PREAMP FUNCTIONALITY
Schiit has designed the Lyr+ to be highly versatile. For you to enjoy the best of both worlds, Lyr+ offers maximum versatility. The Lyr+ switches seamlessly to its internal solid-state gain stage, based on exotic depletion-mode MOSFETs if you don't plan to use tube mode. You can always switch to tubes such as 6SN7-type, and Lyr+ switches over to 100% tube voltage gain with the MOSFETs out of the picture. The Schiit Lyr+ is the answer to the magic of Fusion Architecture.
RELAY LADDER VOLUME CONTROL FOR ULTIMATE TRANSPARENCY AND PERFECT CHANNEL MATCHING
The Schiit Lyr+ is the first compact headamp that gives you relay ladder volume control, for ultimate transparency and perfect channel matching, from the lowest to highest volumes. Coupled with a "powerful" Continuity™ bipolar output stage, full DC coupling throughout, separate regulated high-voltage and low-voltage supplies, and microprocessor oversight, Lyr+ is a small marvel.
POWER-PACKED PERFORMER WITH ULTIMATE SCALABILITY AND REMOTE OPERABILITY
The Schiit Lyr+ delivers up to 6W RMS per channel through the standard ¼” headphone jack, so there’s no need for balanced headphones to take advantage of all that power. But, at the same time, advanced oversight ensures Lyr+ is safe for every headphone. DC, overcurrent, and tube sensing mean this is a modern tube amp. Add Bifrost 2 or Modius as a DAC and a Vidar or Aegir as a speaker amp, and Lyr+ is the heart of the system stack, ready for headphones, speakers, and analogue & digital sources. You can even turn off Lyr+’s preamp outs if you want to listen to headphones. The Schiit Lyr+ also comes with a fully functional remote that allows you to access functions like Input select, toggle between Tube/MOSFET mode, Gain control, Mute, Preamp output Enable/Disable, and Volume Up/Down. You can control the Lyr+ from the comfort of your couch using the supplied remote.
MASTERFULLY DESIGNED AND BUILT IN CALIFORNIA
The vast majority of the total production cost of Lyr+ chassis, boards, transformers, assembly, etc., goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. The chassis are made minutes from Schiit's facility. The PCBs are done just over the hill or in NorCal, and transformers are made in California. The Schiit Lyr+ is an elegant device with a minimalistic design. The front panel consists of an Input select switch, a Preamp output enables switch, Volume control, a MOSFET indicator, Gain select, and a 6.35mm headphone jack. The rear panel consists of RCA inputs, a Preamp output, an On-Off switch, and an AC input.

FAQs
What is the warranty period on the Schiit Lyr+ and how do I claim warranty?
The warranty period on Schiit Lyr+ is for 5 years. Read more information about Schiit's warranty in India. click here.
Where is the Schiit brand based?
Schiit is a brand based in the U.S.A.
What is Fusion Architecture?
It’s the way of allowing you to use tube gain or solid state gain, and to manage the modes. Think of it as a tube hybrid amp that always has a fallback. Or a solid state amp that always has the option for a tube.
And Coherence™?
This is Schiit’s 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.
And the Continuity™ output stage?
This is the most important subject for a Class AB amplifier, like, ever.Transconductance nonlinearity in the transition from Class A to Class B is an inherent problem baked into literally every Class AB amp. Take a look at Bob Cordell’s amplifier design book for a great tutorial on the subject. Also, online, reference John Broskie. Both have written many words about the problem of transconductance nonlinearity.
When you bias a Class AB amplifier, both transistors conduct at low levels. When the output goes outside of this low level, though, only one half conducts. Effective transconductance is halved. You can pursue an optimum biasing strategy for Class AB that minimizes this transconductance discontinuity, but it is absolutely there. You can squint your eyes and say that the emitter resistors swamp the effects, but it’s still there. You can use a ton of feedback to squash it flat, but, again, it is absolutely still there. Sumo addressed this with its Transconductance Linearization error servo based on the work of Hawksford and Cordell. This was a complicated way to get around it, but it did work. Another way to address the problem is to bolt on huge heatsinks and crank everything as far into Class A as possible, so the transconductance is always doubled. That’s great, except for the fact you end up with huge, heavy, hot amplifiers.
Schiit's Continuity™ constant transconductance output stage is a serious attempt to solve this problem. It uses both N-channel and P-channel devices on both positive and negative sides of the power supply, all conducting at the same time, and it uses additional devices that linearize the transconductance outside of the Class A bias region. It addresses both the problem of transconductance doubling and of mismatch between N-and P-channel devices.
This isn’t just hand-waving—the Continuity output stage measures 10dB better THD to clipping.
Is this quiet enough for IEMs?
Many of them, in low gain mode.
So it can work as a solid-state as well as tube amp?
The Lyr+ switches seamlessly to its internal solid-state gain stage, based on exotic depletion-mode MOSFETs if you don't plan to use tube mode. You can always switch to tubes such as 6SN7-type, and Lyr+ switches over to 100% tube voltage gain with the MOSFETs out of the picture. The Schiit Lyr+ is the answer to the magic of Fusion Architecture
And if I don’t put in a tube, it switches to solid state, without me doing anything?
Absolutely correct.
When using it with tubes does it function like a tube amp?
Yep! When you’re using a tube, it’s 100% tube gain, coupled with a discrete Continuity™ bipolar output stage. So it’s technically a hybrid, like all Lyrs from the beginning, almost a dozen years ago.
And what about using it as a solid-state?
No. If you have a tube installed, you can switch between tube and solid state modes via the remote. You can also press and hold the gain switch for 4 seconds, and when you release the button, it will switch modes. With no tube installed, Lyr+ only allows you to use solid state, of course.
What are the benefits of Relay Ladder volume control??
The Schiit Lyr+ is the first compact headamp that gives you relay ladder volume control, for ultimate transparency and perfect channel matching, from the lowest to highest volumes. Coupled with a 'powerful' Continuity™ bipolar output stage, full DC coupling throughout, separate regulated high-voltage and low-voltage supplies, and microprocessor oversight, Lyr+ is a small marvel.
What is the output power like?
Maximum Power, 16 ohms: 9.0W RMS per channel
Maximum Power, 32 ohms: 6.0W RMS per channel
Maximum Power, 50 ohms: 4.0W RMS per channel
Maximum Power, 300 ohms: 900mW RMS per channel
Maximum Power, 600 ohms: 450mW RMS per channel
Does it come with a fully functional remote?
Yep! The Schiit Lyr+ also comes with a fully functional remote that allows you to access functions like Input select, toggle between Tube/MOSFET mode, Gain control, Mute, Preamp output Enable/Disable, and Volume Up/Down. You can control the Lyr+ from the comfort of your couch using the supplied remote.
What are the inputs/outputs and the design architecture like?
The Schiit Lyr+ is an elegant device with a minimalistic design. The front panel consists of an Input select switch, a Preamp output enabled switch, Volume control, a MOSFET indicator, Gain select, and a 6.35mm headphone jack. The rear panel consists of RCA inputs, a Preamp output, an On-Off switch, and an AC input.

Where is the Schiit brand based?
Schiit is a brand based in the U.S.A.
What is Fusion Architecture?
It’s the way of allowing you to use tube gain or solid state gain, and to manage the modes. Think of it as a tube hybrid amp that always has a fallback. Or a solid state amp that always has the option for a tube.
And Coherence™?
This is Schiit’s 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.
And the Continuity™ output stage?
This is the most important subject for a Class AB amplifier, like, ever.Transconductance nonlinearity in the transition from Class A to Class B is an inherent problem baked into literally every Class AB amp. Take a look at Bob Cordell’s amplifier design book for a great tutorial on the subject. Also, online, reference John Broskie. Both have written many words about the problem of transconductance nonlinearity.
When you bias a Class AB amplifier, both transistors conduct at low levels. When the output goes outside of this low level, though, only one half conducts. Effective transconductance is halved. You can pursue an optimum biasing strategy for Class AB that minimizes this transconductance discontinuity, but it is absolutely there. You can squint your eyes and say that the emitter resistors swamp the effects, but it’s still there. You can use a ton of feedback to squash it flat, but, again, it is absolutely still there. Sumo addressed this with its Transconductance Linearization error servo based on the work of Hawksford and Cordell. This was a complicated way to get around it, but it did work. Another way to address the problem is to bolt on huge heatsinks and crank everything as far into Class A as possible, so the transconductance is always doubled. That’s great, except for the fact you end up with huge, heavy, hot amplifiers.
Schiit's Continuity™ constant transconductance output stage is a serious attempt to solve this problem. It uses both N-channel and P-channel devices on both positive and negative sides of the power supply, all conducting at the same time, and it uses additional devices that linearize the transconductance outside of the Class A bias region. It addresses both the problem of transconductance doubling and of mismatch between N-and P-channel devices.
This isn’t just hand-waving—the Continuity output stage measures 10dB better THD to clipping.
Is this quiet enough for IEMs?
Many of them, in low gain mode.
So it can work as a solid-state as well as tube amp?
The Lyr+ switches seamlessly to its internal solid-state gain stage, based on exotic depletion-mode MOSFETs if you don't plan to use tube mode. You can always switch to tubes such as 6SN7-type, and Lyr+ switches over to 100% tube voltage gain with the MOSFETs out of the picture. The Schiit Lyr+ is the answer to the magic of Fusion Architecture
And if I don’t put in a tube, it switches to solid state, without me doing anything?
Absolutely correct.
When using it with tubes does it function like a tube amp?
Yep! When you’re using a tube, it’s 100% tube gain, coupled with a discrete Continuity™ bipolar output stage. So it’s technically a hybrid, like all Lyrs from the beginning, almost a dozen years ago.
And what about using it as a solid-state?
No. If you have a tube installed, you can switch between tube and solid state modes via the remote. You can also press and hold the gain switch for 4 seconds, and when you release the button, it will switch modes. With no tube installed, Lyr+ only allows you to use solid state, of course.
What are the benefits of Relay Ladder volume control??
The Schiit Lyr+ is the first compact headamp that gives you relay ladder volume control, for ultimate transparency and perfect channel matching, from the lowest to highest volumes. Coupled with a 'powerful' Continuity™ bipolar output stage, full DC coupling throughout, separate regulated high-voltage and low-voltage supplies, and microprocessor oversight, Lyr+ is a small marvel.
What is the output power like?
Maximum Power, 16 ohms: 9.0W RMS per channel
Maximum Power, 32 ohms: 6.0W RMS per channel
Maximum Power, 50 ohms: 4.0W RMS per channel
Maximum Power, 300 ohms: 900mW RMS per channel
Maximum Power, 600 ohms: 450mW RMS per channel
Does it come with a fully functional remote?
Yep! The Schiit Lyr+ also comes with a fully functional remote that allows you to access functions like Input select, toggle between Tube/MOSFET mode, Gain control, Mute, Preamp output Enable/Disable, and Volume Up/Down. You can control the Lyr+ from the comfort of your couch using the supplied remote.
What are the inputs/outputs and the design architecture like?
The Schiit Lyr+ is an elegant device with a minimalistic design. The front panel consists of an Input select switch, a Preamp output enabled switch, Volume control, a MOSFET indicator, Gain select, and a 6.35mm headphone jack. The rear panel consists of RCA inputs, a Preamp output, an On-Off switch, and an AC input.
