Schiit Lyr+ 

Want a no-excuses, super-powerful, tube hybrid headphone amp and preamp—but also want the comfort of a pure solid state design? Then Lyr+ is for you! It’s the only headamp that goes seamlessly from tube to solid state, using Schiit's exclusive Fusion Architecture™.

I Can Live…With or Without Tube

( Unit Does Comes with Tube )

Don’t want to use a tube? Then don’t plug one in. Lyr+ switches seamlessly to its internal solid state gain stage, based on exotic depletion-mode MOSFETs. Want tube gain? Then plug in any 6SN7-type tube, and Lyr+ switches over to 100% tube voltage gain with the MOSFETs completely out of the picture. That’s the magic of Fusion Architecture.

Technological Tour De Force

Lyr+ is Schiit's 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, the convenience of remote control (in case you want to use it, say, off the desktop), and microprocessor oversight, Lyr+ is a small marvel. 

Power and Safety in One

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 means this is a fully modern tube amp. 

The Heart of a Complete, Compact System

Add Bifrost 2 or Modius for digital duties, and a Vidar or Aegir as a speaker amp, and Lyr+ is the heart of a full system, ready for headphones, speakers, and both analog and digital sources. You can even turn off Lyr+’s preamp outs, if you just want to listen to headphones.

The vast majority of the production of the Lyr+ chassis, boards, assembly, etc—is manufactured in the US.

Most of the Schiit Lyr+ is covered by a limited warranty that covers parts and labour for three years. That's 3 years. Yes Three. Compare that to the competition.The parts that aren't covered by a 3-year warranty: the tubes. Tubes are covered by a 28-day warranty. They should last 5000 hours. Please note this doesn't mean free upgrades!
