A: I would pick the Soloist SL over the Asgard2. Mainly because it puts out 2W at low resistance, as opposed to the Asgard's 1W, which would be better for the HE500. But also from a purely subjective perspective, really. I just like the design, execution and sound of the Soloist SL better than Asgard2. The variable output stage is IMO particularly well done. Plus the Soloist SL just looks better.

Burson Soloist SL vs Schiit Asgard 2 for the HiFiMan HE500
Q: I own the HifiMan HE500. Which is a better amp for it, the Burson Soloist SL or would a cheaper amp like the Schiit Asgard 2 get the job done?
