WORKS WITH MOST HEADPHONES & SPEAKERS
The Schiit Ragnarok 2 is designed to offer top-notch performance with most speakers and headphones thanks to its selectable gains of 1, 8 and 25. It gives 60W into 8ohms and 100W into 4 ohms. Experience its full power capacity with a balanced headphone jack (34W into 32 ohms). It delivers quarter-power output with single-ended headphone jacks (6W into 32 ohms).
PICK YOUR MODULE
The Schiit Ragnarok 2 comes with two module slots for enhanced flexibility and upgradability. You get to pick between 'just an amp' that has two RCA input modules which sum up to two balanced inputs and three RCA inputs or the 'fully loaded module' which comprises of two balanced inputs, three RCA inputs, one RCA phono input & one USB DAC input.
SEAMLESS VOLUME & SOURCE SWITCHING
The Ragnarok 2 has a relay-switch for clear volume and to offer perfect channel matching along with low distortion. It has a volume knob for added efficiency. In the remote control mode, the potentiometer adheres to the remote setting. It uses a unique Nexus gain stage which is designed to seamlessly connect the single-ended and balanced sources. It converts both outputs into a single and discrete gain stage to deliver good performance across all modes.

The Schiit Story
The story of Schiit Audio begins with two veteran audiophiles Jason Stoddard, formerly of Sumo, and Mike Moffat, formerly of Theta coming together to shake things up a bit. Both of them have extensive experience in developing lots of audio and A/V products including the Andromeda III, Cobalt 307, DS Pre and Angstrom 200. From power amplifiers, I/V conversion stages, D/A converters, relay-switched stepped attenuator volume controls in preamps to developing the first DTS home theatre surround processor on the market, Schiit Audio has developed a lot of audio products over the years.

Getting into Designing Headphones
Headphones are the need of the hour everyone who likes music uses a headphone. Therefore Schiit Audio moved to develop personal audio equipment while continuing to design a speaker-based system which includes the industry-leading preamps, amps and DACs. So right now Schiit Audio has a plethora of audio products ranging from personal audio to speaker-based systems. Schiit designs affordable audio products that bring happiness in your lives.
True Multibit DACs and Unique Digital Filter
Unlike ordinary DACs that use delta-sigma, NOS (new old stock) D/A chips, multibit chips, high-cost R2R ladders, Schiit uses unique DSP-based closed-form digital filter which improves the sonic performance of the multibit DAC. Therefore the Schiit's multibit technology brings all of it together using the current-production, medical/military grade D/A converters.

Innovation in Analog
Schiit has opted for an innovative approach for the analog side as well. Even the most affordable Schiit headphone amplifier is a miniature, fully discrete, DC coupled, current-feedback power amplifier. Schiit is credited for introducing Continuity output stage to solve the issue of transconductance droop which was common in Class AB amplifier design. Schiit has also developed balanced topologies like Nexus in Ragnarok 2 and a perfect combination of tube and solid-state with Coherence in Lyr 3.
Designed with High-End Materials for Durability
All the Schiit products are designed for solidity and durability. Even the smallest of the products are made of aluminium and steel while the larger products are made of high-end C core transformers, power supply filtering and low-noise control. All the products have to go through severe testing procedures including the latest APx555 audio analyzer and Avermetrics analyzers. Every product from Asgard and up goes through burn-in to address the issues faced during the initial period of usage. Schiit takes care of all the service and support requirements so that you can concentrate on great sound.

Handcrafted in the USA
Schiit believes that local control of all the aspects of production improves the delivering of the product. Therefore all the Schiit products are designed and made in the USA and most of the cost of the components are going to the US-based companies. Assembled in the USA means that Schiit's chassis guys are from San Fernando Valley, Schiit transformers are made in California, Schiit boards come from the east coast of the USA and all the designing, assembling and testing of Schiit products happen in Valencia, California.
1. Ragnarok 2 debuts our all-new Nexus differential topology, which provides one discrete gain stage for all I/Oóîbalanced and single-ended, headphones and speakers.
2. Ragnarok 2 is modularóîit has two input module spaces that can be filled with RCA inputs, or with an MM phono preamp and Multibit DAC module.
3. Ragnarok 2 has a remote control. Yes. Finally.
4. Ragnarok 2 has an all-new thermal design with external heatsinksóîwhich means it runs monumentally cooler than the original.
5. Ragnarok 2's relay-stepped attenuator has 128 steps, 2x more than the original.
6. Ragnarok 2 has an all-new, modular chassis design that reduces chassis cost and labor costóîwhich means it costs less than the model it replaces. Yes. Less. At least as Just An Amp (which is all Ragnarok was). Don't pass out. We've done this before. Yes, we're weird.
7. Ragnarok 2 now allows you to select speaker and headphone outputs with visual feedback as to which mode you're in, both from the front panel and from the remote.
1. It does not exhibit the N/N+1 gain relationship when fed a single-ended signal, so it seamlessly converts single-ended to balanced.
2. It also converts balanced to single-ended.
3. It also is quite happy to amplify, differentially, a differential signal for differential output.
4. It does this without summers, buffers, or any other tricks; it is a single discrete differential stage,
