Asgard 3 is the first complete re-imagining of 

the amp that started it all for us, way back in 

June 2010. It’s the third in our line of modular 

headphone amps and preamps (the others 

being Jotunheim and Lyr 3). Asgard combines a 

current-feedback topology and our unique  

Continuity™ output stage and a modular 

architecture that allows you to add a DAC,  

phono preamp, or future modules. Forget the 

built-in obsolescence of other amp/DACs, and 

enjoy your time with Asgard 3!

INTRODUCTION

WHAT’S IN THE BOX

(1) Asgard 3

(1) Power cord

(0) Stick-on feet (they’re pressed in!)

The following is required by the roughly 9,542  

government agencies and regulations we have to 

comply with. If you have some common sense, they 

should seem pretty straightforward. In any case, read these 

instructions before proceeding farther, follow all instructions, 

and heed all warnings. Or else! 

1. If you don’t know how to install audio devices, get a  

qualified professional to help.

2. Never use this device near water, and clean only with a  

dry cloth. 

3. Assure adequate ventilation, do not block any ventilation 

openings, or place near heat sources.

4. Use only the supplied power cord or suitable replacement. 

Route cords away from traffic areas and protect them from 

being pinched. Unplug the cord from the outlet if the apparatus 

is unused for a long period of time.

5. To prevent electric shock, do not use the plug with an  

extension cord, receptacle, or outlet unless blades can be  

fully inserted.

6. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Service is 

required when the device has been damaged, including cord or 

plug damage, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into 

the device, the device has been exposed to rain or moisture, 

does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR  

ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS DEVICE TO 

RAIN OR MOISTURE.
