I am very curious to see which schiit amps/dacs will play nice with the focal elears.
Starting to scratch at the upgrade itch.

I tried the Focal Elear and Utopia with my Bifrost (4490) / Lyr2 stack this last weekend at the Chicago meet. I thought they worked well together. While I personally was not a fan of the Elear I can see that HD650 owners are going to really love it.

Just ordered the new Jotunheim amp with passive phono module..very affordable gear with such good features!

I like the modular concept. They appear to be offering the balanced dac upgrade for the same price so to me, that is even a better deal considering the circuitry involved.

I'm planning to move into vinyl, not too deeply but since i listen to metal mostly, a lot of releases are exclusive to vinyl so that's my motivation here

I do vinyl as well and in no way was I attempting to comment on your choice. In looking at the two modules and having a background in electronics I just felt if I were to build those two circuit boards the components on the dac would cost a lot more IMHO. Both are an excellent price by all means and it is nice to have either option for such a price.

Ohh..no, no, no, i was in NO way offended, rest assured
I had contemplated about the DAC module but since i already have the Bifrost MB and an Audio Note DAC4.1, a phono stage would serve my needs better going forward But yes i do agree with you that the amp is an all round bang for your buck product that's worth supporting.

I may have missed the answer to my question somewhere, but do we know if the card can be swapped in the field, or does it need to be sent to Schiit?

I have a few dacs and a couple phono preamps and I would do the bare amp except it is such a good deal to add a stage. It would be nice to know if a person could get both the phono preamp and the dac and swap them out if their needs changed.
Do you guys think that Jotunheim amp is Class AB based? I highly doubt that it can deliver 5W of power on pure Class A design without it frying?

Think Asgard 2 remains the only pure Class A amp in the lineup. However, I'm sure Jotunheim is biased to work in Class A most of the time.
