FLOW One by Allegro Audio
FLOW One is a class AB dual-mono, semi-conductor controlled integrated stereo amplifier. Two 400 VA toroid transformers provide its energy supply. Its performance is 8Ω at 80Watts and 4Ω at 140Watts per channel. Nominal performance is 400 Watts.
The bandwidth provided by the semiconductor technology, the transient transmission, speed, dynamics and the noise-free background all ensure perfect sound quality, detail and richness eliminating all distortions. The strict selection and testing of the capacitors and resistors with exceptional phase, tolerance and speed characteristics, as well as the paired MOSFET transistors and other components and their subsequent brazing on the circuit boards is done with delicate handwork.
We place great emphasis on the internal wiring of the devices and the connector terminals. FLOW One by Allegro Audio has a high purity copper UP-OCC monocrystalline internal cable in the signal path to ensure even, optimal signal transmission. The terminals are WBT NextGen™ connectors facilitating eddy-free connection. The internally optimized noise reduction of the housing and reduced resonance transmission of the plinth result in low own noise ensuring a balanced, clear sound.
The display module is behind a glass plate placed in a black, dust-painted aluminum ring. It can indicate the set volume and the selected input. Naturally, brightness of the display can be dimmed completely leaving only a stand-by signal to help relaxed listening. Volume setting of the device is performed in a closed system with a relay-switched controller in 63 steps with 1 dB intervals.

Schiit Lyr 3
To improve on Lyr 2, we had to completely reinvent the amp, introduce two new technologies, and make it modular. Yes, that’s right. Not only is the new Lyr 3 a big sonic upgrade, it can be configured with the DAC or phono preamp of your choice—just like Jotunheim.
Power and Finesse in One
Want to run IEMs? Sure. Need power for your HE-6? Sure. If this means nothing to you, just be confident that you can plug any headphone into Lyr 3 and get great sound. With full power delivered from the standard ¼” jack, you don’t need balanced headphones to take full advantage of Lyr 3.
Unparalleled Flexibility
Select from the internal card or rear-panel analog input, and pick high or low gain with convenient front switches. Connect the preamp output to your powered monitors for a complete desktop system—or use it as a front end to your speaker power amplifier. Lyr 3 provides all the flexibility you need.
Single Tube, Two Complementary Technologies
Now, you can enjoy a serious tube amp—that only requires a single tube. Our Coherence™ hybrid topology makes the most out of the supplied NOS 6N8S tube, and also works with all NOS and new-production 6SN7 tube types. What’s more, Lyr 3 introduces Continuity™—a constant transconductance output stage which provides superior performance.
Configure Now, Ready For the Future
Select from two different DAC modules, a phono input module, or no module at all to tailor Lyr 3 exactly to your needs. Modular design means Lyr 3 won’t be dumpster-fodder when technology changes—just swap a card!
Multibit DAC Module. Choose the optional Multibit DAC Module to get Schiit’s unique digital filter and true multibit DAC architecture, as used in Modi Multibit and Bifrost Multibit, for $200.
AK4490 DAC Module. Or choose the more affordable AK4490 G2 DAC module for a world-class delta-sigma DAC for only $100.
MM Phono Input Module. Or, choose the MM phono input module, for 42dB of gain and passive RIAA, for great phono sound, at only $100.
Made in USA. Really.
By “made in USA,” we mean made in USA. The vast majority of the total production cost of Lyr 3—chassis, boards, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US.
