Word,hope nobody gets electrocuted,after all it is schiit.
My tube pre-amp seems to do just about as well:

What?
2nd harmonic is under -120db at 32ohm 350mW
It's gonna be a good headphone amp. dc offset is 0.1mV.
Also it's basically a power amp, why would you think the output impedance is high?

? I can't understand what you are saying sorry.
Do you mean that speaker amp = high output impedance?
Or do you mean it's a bad speaker amp?
Or it's a bad headphone amp?

Again, I’m just assuming, as I see no way they can make a headphone amp that’s 24W into 32ohm. The Emotiva A-100 is able to do 12W into 33ohm when installing the included jumper to connect the speaker amp to the headphone output.
There is no fundamental difference between headphone amp and speaker amp. Schiit wanted to do it so they did it. Plus the dc offset is very low so no issue.
Anyone know what the headphone output impedance is?
Edit: 1.3 ohms from 20Hz to 20kHz

Very nice headamp without channel imbalance issues.

I just got this amp and I'm extremely impressed. I'm surprised more people aren't talking about it. It sounds amazing with my Aeon 2 and tower speakers. I have a Susvara on the way and this seems like it will be a perfect match. I think it's quite a value at the price point.

You need g.t. 20wpc into 32 ohms for which headphone now? And which brand of hearing aid do they recommend when you accidentally have the volume control set to 5 o'clock?

I just got myself a fully loaded one today. Needless to say, the built in DAC feels horrible and completely unnecessary.

I got mine last Friday and damn, pumping a TON of power into headphones seems to make a quite a difference. I got it because I was really unsatisfied with the way that the Emotiva A100 sounded when running my SR007 off it and I hated having to bring them into the living room for the nicer hypex monoblocks. The Ragnarok more than satisfies. It's got some coloration, similar to the way the Hypex amps sound when run through my tube preamp and I really like that.

FYI
I am currently seeing an Amazon USA listing for the 'Plain' version of the Schiit Audio Ragnarok 2 integrated amplifier in 'Silver' for $1,599 with a $300 digital coupon applicable at checkout, for a net price of $1,299. Schiit Audio is the seller and fulfillment is by Schiit Audio.

These are now discounted to $999 as "just an amp".. very tempting. I know the power isn't that high, but I can't blast music where I live anyways, so that's not a huge concern. The 5 year warranty is nice too.. Only concern I'd have is power usage and heat.
I got one and have it on my desk. I barely notice any heat from it for what it’s worth. Not concerned at all about kids near it. I love the volume precision over my quad vena and SMsL ao200z

Nice! Have you tried the headphone output? I listen to headphones more than speakers these days.. specs aren't as clean as a Topping or SMSL headphone amp, but those are a totally different beast.
I’ve used it a couple times and it sounds great. I can only really compare it to the Quad Vena amp I have but everything sounds clear and detailed vs being muddy is the best subjective way I could describe it. I don’t use my headphones often and just have the 58x so it’s not a hard headphone to drive.i haven’t had a topping and only had Smsl as a speaker amp, but it reminds me more of the JDs labs element I had. The only real negative is my poor recording are really noticeable now. I mainly game though through my PC so not a big deal.
