The VIDAR 2F is a stereo power amplifier from Schiit Audio, sitting above the GJALLARHORN F with substantial output power and an exceptional signal-to-noise figure. The VIDAR 2F brings Schiit's considered engineering to dedicated stereo power amplification.
Key specs that matter
Input impedance is 44,000 ohms balanced or 22,000 ohms single-ended. Output power is a substantial 100W into 8 ohms, rising to 200W into 4 ohms. Frequency response spans an exceptionally wide 3Hz to 500,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB, matching the GJALLARHORN F. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds an exceptional 123dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.004% at 100% global feedback. Maximum power consumption is 700W, with damping factor exceeding an exceptional 100. At 228.6 x 98.4 x 330mm and 10kg, the VIDAR 2F represents a substantial commitment reflecting Schiit's more accomplished current engineering.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean amplification reflecting the exceptional 123dB signal-to-noise figure combined with the substantial 200W-into-4-ohms output, representing exceptional value at this price tier.
Pairing
The substantial 200W into 4 ohms output handles demanding loudspeaker loads with considerable headroom.
Alternatives
Schiit's own WOTAN offers Schiit's absolute current flagship alternative within the same broader power amplifier catalogue.
