To my knowledge, all Schiit amps are like that, same on my Mjolnir 2. I would advise before power it up, unplug any headphones. Then power it on and wait like 30 seconds to plug in headphones. You can however power it off with headphones plugged in.

I've got one on order. I don't want to sound snarky, but isn't all that unplugging a lot of wear and tear? Just wondering?

Maybe but it would not likely wear out in the lifetime of any of the equipment. 
 
Recording studios are making plug connections constantly throughout the day for decades.

  isn't the solution to just keep it on always, then you don't need to turn it on and replug your headphones?

Yup.

  I'm using balanced, but it's like this just powered on and not in active use. And by hot I don't mean too hot to touch, just pretty warm, like a laptop while not doing anything but having been on a while.

Mine is the same, not hot, just warm even I leave it on all day. and just a little warmer if I listen for hours, but it is not untouchable hot either.

For those of you who also own an Ifi Micro iDSD... I suggest you preamp that sucker right into the Jot... Wowza.

So I'm still thinking about purchasing the Jotunheim but without a module. I don't need a DAC because I already own 3 Schiit DAC's and wiould simply connect one of them to the Jot SE input. So am I correct in understanding that in my case I would set the input selector on the front of the Jotunheim to the bottom position for SE? Does that then make BOTH Single Ended and Balanced headphone OUTPUTS simultaneously active?

That would be cool because both my wife and I would be able to listen to music together. However wouldn't the Balanced headphone output be louder due to the higher power being supplied to that output?

Yes, even if you use the RCA inputs, both headphone outputs are active. The Balanced output is significantly louder though.

Is this just if you have speakers plugged in? I didn't notice any popping in the headphones (only headphones connected).

Headphones too, but it depends on how sensitive the headphones are. I also notice it more when plugged into balanced.
