Made by Schiit Audio · United States · since 2010 · factory-direct only

The Tyr F is a mono power amplifier by Schiit Audio that delivers 200 watts into 8 ohms and 350 watts into 4 ohms, per chassis. This is a monoblock: a stereo system needs two. It was released in 2025. It is a 1-channel design using a Class A/B output stage. Speakers connect via binding posts. The Schiit Tyr F has an MSRP of $1,699.

Performance Specs

One of the most important factors when deciding on an integrated amplifier is its power ratings and compatibility with your speaker's impedance requirements. The Schiit Tyr F is rated at 200 watts RMS into 8-ohms. Schiit Audio provides this wattage at a THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) of 0.01% which is an important indicator of distortion at the given values (lower THD is better).

Here are the main highlights of its performance specs:

  • 200 watts into 8-ohms (20 Hz-20 kHz) at 0.01%
  • 350 watts into 4-ohms
  • 120dB Signal to Noise Ratio

How loud will 200 watts actually play in your room? →

Which speakers suit the Schiit Tyr F?

200 W into 8 ohms, 350 W into 4. We rank every passive speaker we cover against it on power, impedance safety and current delivery.

We check power, impedance safety and current delivery - not just watts.

Need more power?

Schiit Tyr F is rated at 200 watts into 8 ohms, which puts it in our Over 180 watts band. That is the top band we cover, so there is no step up from here - if it is not enough, the answer is more sensitive speakers or a smaller room, not more watts.

When pairing the Schiit Tyr F with a passive Bookshelf (Stand mount) or Passive Floor Standing (Tower) speaker, you have to check if their Max Power Range is below the max wattage of the amp for the given impedance levels. Operating your amp outside of this max range may damage the speakers.


What size of room is the Schiit Tyr F Amplifier good for?

An essential deciding factor is the size of the room in which you intend to employ the Schiit Tyr F amplifier. Here, taking into account its maximum power parameters, we analyzed its applicability to various size environments:

Bluetooth Connectivity

Schiit Tyr F doesn't have bluetooth connectivity feature. In order to stream your music via bluetooth, the easiest way is to connect an external bluetooth receiver to your Schiit Tyr F. Two bluetooth receivers that we recommend are the iFi Zen Blue V2 and the Audioengine B1.

Among the amps in the same price range, these are the 5 amps that have Bluetooth Connectivity:

  • Rotel A14 MKII - MSRP 1600$ - Compare w/ Tyr F
  • Peachtree Carina - MSRP 1999$ - Compare w/ Tyr F
  • NAD C 389 - MSRP 1999$ - Compare w/ Tyr F
  • LEAK Stereo 230 - MSRP 1695$ - Compare w/ Tyr F
  • JBL SA550 C - MSRP 1999$ - Compare w/ Tyr F

Phono Input

Schiit Tyr F doesn't have a phono input so in order to play your vinyl albums, Schiit Tyr F has to be paired with a Phono Preamp that is MM (Moving Magnet) or/and MC (Moving COil) depending on your cartridge type.

Balanced connections

Schiit Tyr F has a balanced XLR input. A balanced cable carries the signal twice, on two conductors of opposite polarity. Interference picked up along the way lands on both equally and cancels when the two are recombined at the far end, so the longer the cable run and the noisier the surroundings, the more the connection is worth. Whether a balanced connection also yields more power depends on how the amplifier is built inside - some are balanced end to end, others convert to single-ended internally and deliver the same power either way, so it is worth reading the maker's own wording rather than assuming.

Schiit Tyr F Pros and Cons

Drawn from the published figures on this page, not from listening.

  • ✓Power nearly doubles into a harder load, 200 watts into 8 ohms rising to 350 into 4, which points to a power supply with real current in reserve.
  • ✓200 watts per channel into 8 ohms is more than most rooms and most speakers will ever ask for.
  • ✓Signal-to-noise ratio of 120dB, so the amplifier itself should be inaudible between tracks.
  • ✓Distortion is specified at 0.01%, an order of magnitude below what is generally held to be audible.
  • ✓A monoblock - one per speaker, so the two channels share no power supply and no chassis.
  • ✓Balanced XLR inputs, worth having on a long cable run.
  • ✓Made in USA.
  • ✗Being a monoblock, you need two of them for stereo.
  • ✗A power amplifier has no volume control and no input selection - it needs a preamplifier, or a source with a variable output, in front of it.

Frequently Asked Questions about Schiit Tyr F

How much power does the Schiit Tyr F have?

The Schiit Tyr F delivers 200 watts into 8 ohms and 350 watts into 4 ohms, per chassis. This is a monoblock: a stereo system needs two. Its output almost doubles into 4 ohms, which points to a strong power supply that can hold its composure with demanding, low-impedance speakers.

Does the Schiit Tyr F use vacuum tubes?

No. The Schiit Tyr F is a solid-state amplifier - there are no vacuum tubes in it.

What amplifier class is the Schiit Tyr F?

The Schiit Tyr F uses a Class A/B amplifier design. Class A/B is the traditional linear design: it runs warmer and is less efficient than Class D, but it is long valued for its natural, low-distortion sound.

Does the Schiit Tyr F have a built-in DAC?

No. The Schiit Tyr F has no built-in DAC, so a digital source such as a streamer or CD transport needs its own converter, or you connect it over analogue.

Can I connect a turntable to the Schiit Tyr F?

No. The Schiit Tyr F has no phono input, so a turntable needs an external phono preamp (or a deck with one built in) before it can be connected.

Does the Schiit Tyr F have Bluetooth?

No. The Schiit Tyr F does not have Bluetooth built in; you would need an external Bluetooth receiver connected to one of its inputs.

Does the Schiit Tyr F have a headphone output?

No. The Schiit Tyr F does not have a headphone output, so headphone listening needs a separate headphone amplifier.

How much does the Schiit Tyr F cost?

The Schiit Tyr F has a manufacturer's list price (MSRP) of $1,699.
