Exotic, modern parts for higher performance-1% metal-strip output resistors eliminate inductance, silicon and film capacitors for precision compensation, air-core output inductors.4-layer, 0.093” thick PC board for optimal layout and current flow.32-bit Microprocessor-based protection system uses a “least invasive methodology”-no active devices in signal path, no current limiting, no crowbars-just resistors and relays.Separate discrete regulated high voltage rails improve efficiency and are ground-referenced (not stacked) to ensure each channel’s performance is independent from the other.This means heavy loads, like musical transients into hard-to-drive speakers, on one channel won’t affect the other.
#Schiit stack vs hel how to#
Hel 2 has a more powerful head amp vs Soundblaster, supports USB-C vs Micro USB on the Soundblaster, and supports UAC1 (not sure how to use this with consoles). Dual mono power supply from the output stage back to the transformer. The Atom Stack is a bit apples vs oranges because the DAC does not have a microphone line-in nor optical-in, so not ideal for gaming.Convenient standby mode keeps Vidar 2 powered up, but consumes only 1-2 watts-and it’s not automatic, you select when and if you want to use it.100% DC coupled throughout, no capacitors in the signal path, for nothing in your music but music.3 pairs of 15A output transistors per channel for extremely high overall capability, 2SC/2SA pairs used throughout.Current feedback topology is amazingly fast (-3dB above 1MHz before input filter) and measures well, especially for such a simple stage.
