The two audiophiles are Jason Stoddard, formerly of Sumo, and Mike Moffat, formerly of Theta. Schiit got started in 2010 when two audio industry veterans decided it was time to shake things up a bit. I would like to thank Schiit for providing this review sample! Let us see what they have to say about themselves on their website: It’s also an amazing DAC/amp for music, and with a separate analog input, preamp output, and gain switch, it’s ready for all your desktop needs.

In any case, Hel delivers like 40x the power of a typical computer headphone output, plus it has a podcast-quality stereo-compatible electret mic input. If you want the ultimate in a transportable gaming DAC/amp, you’re looking at Hel. Find out if the Hel lived up to the hype, all in the conclusion of the review. So now that we have all the details out of the way let get to it. Next I am going to be using a Yamaha RX-V377 Receiver paired with a JBL E150P sub and 2 Klipsch Icon KB-15 bookcase speakers, using the preamp out connection. Great headphones when they came out but have had tons of use and are becoming a little dated. First I am going to use a 4 year old set of beats headphones. I will be testing the Hel with several different audio setups. Yes, I will try to keep the puns to a minimum but I cannot promise! The DAC/AMP we are featuring today is from Schiit audio.

Hook one of these up and you will unlock your full listening experience. The sound differences can be significantly better. These are basically a digital to analog converter that sends the signal through the built in amp. For example game on a laptop speakers and then play the same game on a decent sound bar and you will know exactly what I’m talking about.

When you have anything paired with great sound it enhances your experience. If you have experienced this then you know what I am talking about. I just enjoy it better, whether it be music, gaming, or watching a movie. First off, I would like to give a huge thanks to Schiit for sending me the Hel to review! What is your opinion on sound? I know for me I want the best I can get.
