CONFIGURABLE HYBRID CONTROL CENTER
IN NORSE MYTHOLOGY, LYR IS MENGLAD’S HALL IN JOTUNHEIM.
BOTH ARE GIANTS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT.
BUYING LYR WON’T GET YOU AN IN WITH ODIN.
AND NO, IT WON’T GET YOU INTO VALHALLA, EITHER.
YEAH, WE KNOW, CHEAP SCHIIT BASTARDS.
BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO?
LYR
OWNER’S MANUAL
Lyr 3 is the second in our line of congurable
desktop control centers. It combines a highly
capable hybrid power amplier and preamp with
a modular architecture that allows you to add a
DAC, phono preamp, or any future modules we
come up with. Forget the built-in obsolescence
of other amp/DACs, and enjoy your time in Lyr!
INTRODUCTION
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
(1) Lyr 3
(1) Power cord
(0) Stick-on feet (they’re pressed in!)
The following is required by the roughly 9,542
government agencies and regulations we have to
comply with. If you have some common sense, they
should seem pretty straightforward. In any case, read these
instructions before proceeding farther, follow all instructions,
and heed all warnings. Or else!
1. If you don’t know how to install audio devices, get a
qualied professional to help.
2. Never use this device near water, and clean only with a
dry cloth.
3. Assure adequate ventilation, do not block any ventilation
openings, or place near heat sources.
4. Use only the supplied power cord or suitable replacement.
Route cords away from trafc areas and protect them from
being pinched. Unplug the cord from the outlet if the apparatus
is unused for a long period of time.
5. To prevent electric shock, do not use the plug with an
extension cord, receptacle, or outlet unless blades can be
fully inserted.
6. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Service is
required when the device has been damaged, including cord or
plug damage, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
the device, the device has been exposed to rain or moisture,
does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS DEVICE TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.
GETTING STARTED
CAUTION! Dangerous voltages inside!
1. Insert the tube. Carefully
align the key in the tube base
to the notch in the tube socket.
2. Ensure tube is well-seated. Push down rmly
until the tube is seated on the tube socket.
3. Connect your source.
Use high-quality
RCA cables and a
good source.
4. Plug it in and
turn it on. The tube
will glow after a few sec-
onds, and the relay will connect the output in about
40-50 seconds.
If you have an optional DAC module, you’ll also need
to connect your digital source.
a. Use a high-quality, USB 2.0-rated cable of 2M or
less in length.
b. On some Windows machines, you may
need drivers, available at schiit.com/drivers.
If you have the optional phono card, you’ll also need
to connect your turntable.
a. Using short, high-quality, well-shielded cables,
connect your turntable to the phono card inputs.
b. Also connect the turntable ground to the ground
post with a short, sturdy wire.
c. Note that the phono preamp’s gain is xed at
42dB, input impedance is 47k, and load capacitance
is 100pF.
REPLACING TUBES
Lyr 3 accommodates any 6SN7, 6N8S or 5692 tube.
1. Turn off and unplug the preamp. Wait a while for
the tube to cool.
2. Carefully extract the tube by gently rocking it
back and forth and pulling upwards.
3. Carefully insert the replacement tube. Align the
key to the notch and press down rmly until the
tube is seated.
4. Plug the preamp back in and turn it on.
TUBE
NOTCH
4 Input Switch. Up selects the module input (DAC
or phono). That is, if you have a module. If you
don’t have a module, up doesn’t do anything.
Down selects the rear panel analog RCA inputs.
5 Headphone Jack. Plug your headphones in here.
There ain’t no fancy balanced or fake-balanced
connectors on this amp—it delivers full power
through a standard 1/4” jack. If you have 1/8” jack
headphones, get an adapter.
1 Tube. This guy gets plenty hot. Best not to grab
it while it’s running, or immediately after you turn
the amp off. Also not a good pet suppository. Also
keep kids away. You get it, right?
2 Volume Knob. Turn it to the right to make the
music louder. Stop before it hurts. Or your head-
phones smoke. Seriously.
3 Gain Switch. Up is high gain. Down is low gain.
No surprises here. Use low gain for sensitive
headphones—that is, if you hear hiss or don’t have
enough volume control range.

CONTROLS
4 Preamp Output. Connect these to your powered
monitors or speaker power amplier with high-
quality RCA cables. If your powered monitors
have XLR inputs, you can use RCA to XLR cables
to connect to them.
5 On-Off Switch. Up is on. Down is off. Nothing
very complicated here.
6 AC Input. Plug the power cord in here. Plug the
other end into an outlet of the correct voltage.
Trying to run a 115V product on 230V will blow
the fuse and generally make for a bad, bad day.
1 Card Input. If you have a module installed, the
input for the module will be here. If you don’t have
a module installed, it will be covered.
2 Ground Lug. If you have a phono card installed,
there will be a ground lug here. Connect to your
turntable ground for minimum hum.
3 RCA Input. Connect your source here with
high-quality RCA cables. Alternately, you can use
cheapie cables, but if you have a problem, remem-
ber that we’ll ask you to check cables rst.

CONNECTIONS
I hear hum through the headphones.
Some small amount of hum may be noticeable on
most tube ampliers, especially with high-sen-
sitivity headphones. Switch to low gain, and ask
yourself why you’re using IEMs with a 6W amp.
No, I mean a LOT of hum.
You may have a ground loop. To x a ground loop,
try a ground loop isolator or an EbTech HumX. If
it’s low-level hum and noise, you can use Lo gain
to reduce it.
There’s no sound for a while after I turn Lyr 3 on.
That’s perfectly normal. Lyr 3 has a built in start-
up delay (and instant shut-down.) It’s set to 40-45
seconds to let the tube come up and the bias
servo to stabilize.
There’s no sound with the input switch
in the top position.
Do you have the optional DAC or phono card? If
you don’t, you won’t get any sound.
FAQ
I get weird noises when I use my cheapie earbuds
that have volume control on them.
Right. Those are TRRS headphones. You need a
TRRS to TRS adapter for those.
Can I leave Lyr 3 on all the time?
You can, but you’ll be burning through tube life.
Best to use octal LISST if you want to leave it on
all the time.
My computer doesn’t see the DAC card via USB,
what’s up?
Go to schiit.com/faq/dac-problems and
schiit.com/faq/usb-problems for digital system
troubleshooting.
I’m having hiss and hum from the phono card,
how do I x that?
Start at schiit.com/faq/phono-problems for phono
troubleshooting tips.
It doesn’t turn on, what do I do?
Plug it in to a different AC socket. Ensure you are
not currently in a blackout. Then email us if it still
doesn’t work.
