Will I still get effective burn in without a load being driven through the headphone out?

Yep.  Its a class A amp so everything will be running all out.

Where'd you get this idea? Mjolnir doesn't need inputs to be stable, or outputs not to burn up, you don't have to plug and unplug headphones, nor do you have to twirl by the light of the full moon with a dead chicken in your arms in order to appease the Circlotron God in order to have it run right. In terms of operational oddities, it's a totally boring amp.

for my combo, imho, it definitely need to load in order to burn in correctly...before my balanced cable arrive, i let my combo turn on 10 hrs per day, for almost two weeks, and it still takes 5-6 hours straight with the he500 to load and smooth out the treble.

Class A = long time to warm up.  I think I clocked mine at 24 hours to stabilize.

Recommendations on burn-in routine?  Can I just leave it on for 24 hours straight, or is it better to do it in spurts?  Remember folks, the world ends on Friday so I want to get as much time as possible with optimal sound... That is assuming my Q cable makes it by then.

Over thinking it.  Just turn it on and never look back.  If it was a DAC you'd need a feed so the circuit isn't muted, if it was a headphone you'd need signal to get the driver moving, as an amp... just need it on 24/7.

You keeping the gungnir?

 

Including it in the sell would make an awsome combination for someone.
