Since the Fulla 2 was released, Schiit has done a mass-renaming of their most popular models. In this light, it also doesn’t make sense to compare the Fulla 2 to what we think is not only the best amp Schiit makes, but also the best currently available: the identically-priced Magni 3 ( full review here). If you view the Fulla 2 for what it is – namely, an entry-level amp designed to be an improvement on basic computer or phone sound – then its audio quality makes a lot of sense. While it’s true that the sound quality doesn’t match up to its bigger brothers, we’d argue that to put them against each other would do the Fulla 2 a disservice. Schiit is a company known for producing world-defining amps and DACs like the Bifrost, and expecting the Fulla 2 to match those would leave you disappointed. It’s important to place this in context: it has to be viewed not just as a standalone amp The company makes several amps, DACs and combinations thereof, and this is their cheapest one. It not only converts your digital audio files to audible signals, but it also amplifies them and sharpens them ( you can read more about what DACs do here). That’s because the Fulla 2 is a combination DAC and amplifier. What comes out will be clean, clear audio that is a nice jump from what your computer’s soundcard can do. Plug a PC, laptop or tablet into one end, plug headphones into the other, and you’re done. The Fulla 2 is a complete desktop audio solution. When you connect the Schiit Fulla 2 to your computer, the sound option that appears for you to select is.I’m Fulla Schiit. And given the company’s propensity for naming their products after Norse mythology (see: Yggdrasil, Bifrost, Asgard, Valhalla, etcetera, etcetera) one can almost imagine them exchanging looks of startled glee when they discovered that there was a Norse goddess named Fulla. One could be forgiven for thinking that the folks at Schiit are perhaps taking the piss, to use that wonderful British expression, when they named one of their products Fulla. To see how it stacks up, see our list of the best DACs. In this review, we break down the Fulla 2’s sound, design, packaging and accessories, specs and more. The Fulla 2 is, and remains, one of the best products Schiit has ever made. Because if you’re bold enough to call your company that, you’ve not only heard all the jokes, you were probably the first one to make them. We solemnly swear that in this review, and in all future reviews, we will not make any jokes, puns, bon mots or witty jibes at Schiit Audio’s name. Let’s get one thing out of the way first.
