I was told that about a week ago, but when I emailed today, I specifically mentioned that T.M.Noble from Audio Science Review said I could get a replacement knob.I contacted customer service and was told "I am sorry, we do not have any of the older knobs available"
Awesome I'll try thatI was told that about a week ago, but when I emailed today, I specifically mentioned that T.M.Noble from Audio Science Review said I could get a replacement knob.
Looks like there was a slight break down in communication on our end with some of our part time customer service reps.Awesome I'll try that
All seems to be well. Thank you!Looks like there was a slight break down in communication on our end with some of our part time customer service reps.
All should be well now and they should honor your request.
Maybe it had to do with the gain configurationRecently replaced my Asgard 3 with an L30 II.
To me, its an improvement. The high gain being a design decision to keep normal gain intentionally low, maybe for IEMs, it weird to me. The Asgard 3 could not bring my X2HR loud enough on normal gain to be satisfactory, and on high gain, their were some artifacting/hissing audible when things weren't playing.
The L30 II sounds a bit cleaner and somehow the bass is much punchier. I can keep it in mid-gain, too. Maybe I just had a bad unit, but I'm satisfied now.
i DoubtAsgard 3 has new DAC inside(ESS ES9028). Is there measurement data of it?

Something must have been wrong in your chain. Either a defective Asgard or something else.Recently replaced my Asgard 3 with an L30 II.

Don't have to (and I don't think Schiit offers signed drivers), you fall back to the general purpose UAC driver which is present in both Windows, Mac, Linux, Android... even game consoles should be compliant although sometimes only UAC1.0 (Nintendo consoles). Most devices nowadays as well as this Schiit are UAC2 only..A quick one, does a windows 11 user have to install any driver / utility for the ES9028 dac card? Or is that even possible? I know that there is a Schiit generic driver inside Windows 11.
All looks good from a quick observation. You have the blue pot from Alps.My new Asgard 3 with ES9028 dac card started to give me a scratchy noise on the right ear, first noted in high gain with the Sundara and then even in low gain with the DT 900 Pro X.
About 2 weeks old. Could be the pot?
Sent it to Schiit Audio UK, hope it will be well fixed / replaced.
OK but what do you mean exactly? Mine is a silver with the less shiny, matte knob.All looks good from a quick observation. You have the blue pot from Alps.View attachment 248893
I mean to describe the part number of the pot that you have. We usually call it the blue Alps pot. What number is on it?OK but what do you mean exactly? Mine is a silver with the less shiny, matte knob.
