Edit: Aaah yes, bring on the "unhelpful" votes. I was seeking help, not looking to help. 😀
Kind of like v2 on a motorcycle is enough power to make it go fast, but in a truck you need a V8 to get similar performance. Similar idea.
Unless your headphones are upwards of $600 you probably are ok with whatever setup you have. The whole DAC/AMP world is the next level of audiophilia.

I bought it for $350 and thought it was a great purchase. At $250 it's a steal.

Ha! Well kind of. If you have expensive fancy headphones, they actually require more power to sound good. That's not necessarily louder.

Hahaha, perfect thanks for the information!

I disagree. There are headphones that are not electrically efficient starting around 200ish (the Sennheiser hd 600 series for example are about 300ohm and require lots of power to sound good). They kind of suck if you plug them straight into a computer or phone or whatever.

also might be overkill but ive been using it with my PS5 and it really helps you become immersed in the game.

In general, he's right and answering the question for a lay-audience, there's no benefit to getting into the minutia of the headphone game when someone starts a question with, "I'm ignorant."
This yay or nay?
HOWEVER - the Asgard (and Asgard 2), while very good amps, are not balanced. So if you want to run a fully balanced system you'd actually have to run the Jotunheim, at $399.
How much better? Have you tried both? Can you post some measurements? How about SINAD for both?

This amp doesn't have a fully balanced (i.e., symmetric and separate, from input to output) signal path either…
