The WOTAN is Schiit Audio's flagship-tier stereo power amplifier, sitting above the VIDAR 2F with staggering output power and an exceptional signal-to-noise figure. The WOTAN represents Schiit's most ambitious current statement in power amplifier engineering.
Key specs that matter
Input impedance is 47,000 ohms on both balanced and single-ended connections. Output power is a substantial 200W into 8 ohms, rising to a staggering 400W into 4 ohms - considerably more than the VIDAR 2F's 100W/200W. Gain is 40dBu. Frequency response spans an exceptionally wide 3Hz to 500,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB, matching the VIDAR 2F. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds an exceptional 124dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.03% at 100% global feedback. Maximum power consumption is a substantial 1,200W, with damping factor exceeding 50. At 406 x 330 x 98mm and 24.5kg, the WOTAN represents Schiit's absolute current flagship power-amplifier engineering ambition.
Sound and use context
Expect extraordinary dynamic authority reflecting the staggering 400W-into-4-ohms output combined with the exceptional 124dB signal-to-noise figure, representing Schiit's most accomplished current power-amplifier engineering.
Pairing
The staggering 400W into 4 ohms output handles the most demanding loudspeaker loads with considerable headroom.
Alternatives
Schiit's own VIDAR 2F offers a more accessible alternative within the same broader power amplifier catalogue.
