Anyone heard Schiit's Aegir?


Was curious if anyone had purchased a Schiit Aegir? I was wondering how it sounds.

Jones yerself into 2 Aegirs maybe as that uses the balanced outs from your Freya + (I can’t use those as my power amp is RCAs only...damn...). The fact that the now "Class A Rated" (oh yeah, uh huh) Aegir is so amazingly (relatively) inexpensive I imagine lots of buyers will fork over the extra 800 clams for the second one. Is there any other Class A (ish) 80 wpc rig for $1,600 out there? I wish they’d stick stereo balanced inputs on the Aegir as I do prefer balanced whenever possible, and the XLR outs on my "original version" Freya look sad and lonesome.
Nope...but I'm back to bi-wiring the Heresy IIIs after putting some new plugs on a set of AQ Rockets. Using one Had amp and selling the other one.
I love my Dennis Had tube amp (I actually own two of the things) but have been curious about the Pass XA25 having read so much about it...I want one. However, at one fifth the cost, the Aegir might have to get bumped to first place in my curiosity contest as it seems so interesting, and my 99db speakers should match it well. Hmmmm....
Kinda early but I’m curious also...note that major mags seemingly (I might have missed it if they did) haven’t reviewed a Vidar amp or a Freya preamp (I have one of those) although Schiit does buy adds, so one does seem to have to wait until users talk about them.
