Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread
Can you ask Schiit to compensate you for the shipping cost if you decided to have them take a look of this unit one more time? I had to pay shipping cost to send my MJ3 back to SoCal to replace two blown capacitors two months ago. I also just bought the Yggy+ GS2 too... Hope the new unit will...- 49ersGuy

Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread
I enjoy NOS on my Yggy+ GS2 as well (just received the unit March 29th). The sound from the NOS mode is somewhat more spacious. I think the GS2 has better synergy with the MJ3 than the BF 2/64 in my system. The overall sonic presentation is smoother with slightly more details at the same time...- 49ersGuy

Schiit Yggdrasil Impressions thread
I received the Yggy+ GS2 (with Unison USB) several days ago (to replace the Bifrost 2/64)... still trying to break it in... any advice or comment? Thanks.- 49ersGuy

Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread
Good to know that this is a widespread problem... My MJ3 was received October 13, 2023. I think mine was part of the second run. The sign was a prominent static-like noise from both channels even when I paused music. I did not open the unit. I just reported my findings to Schiit and sent the...- 49ersGuy

Thank you for the advice... I will hold my judgement... already sounded very good to my "beginner" ears...- 49ersGuy

Just received the repaired Mjolnir 3 back (two blown capacitors per Schiit)... Also just upgraded my DAC from Bifrost 2/64 to Yggdrasil GS2 (with Unison USB)...- 49ersGuy

Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread
I think you should compare the MJ3 after 30 mins of warm up and after 3-4 hours (listening to tracks you are very familiar with) to determine the sonic difference (if any) yourself... I found the MJ3 to be smoother and more effortless in general when it is very very warm to the touch (5-6 hours...- 49ersGuy

Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread
Agree... demand may be too high. I ordered it October 6th and received it October 13th (fortunately). I ordered the MJ3 to evaluate it myself rather than waiting for reviewers to comment on it. I used LCD-5, HE1000SE, and Focal Clear... smoothest SS amp I have heard to date (need to let it warm...- 49ersGuy

Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread
I have the BF2/64-MJ3-HE1000SE combo. If you had similar sonic preferences as mine, you would love the combo. I like this combo even more than the BF2/64-MJ3-LCD5 combo. The LCD5 can be a bit unforgiving with bad recordings and it needs EQ to sound its very best. The MJ3 is the “smoothest” and...- 49ersGuy

Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread
I currently have the HE1000SE and the MJ3. The combo (With Schiit's BF 2/64 as DAC) is my favorite... I would be happy to answer specific questions regarding the sonic characteristic of the gears. I also own the LCD-5 and the Focal Clear. Although I do not listen to the Clear much anymore, I...- 49ersGuy

Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread
Just FYI, the MJ3 also does not weigh 16 pounds like indicated in its website. Its weight is 12.2 pounds without the packaging materials and the power cord. I noticed FedEx indicated that the whole MJ3 package was 14 pounds when it shipped to my house so the amp itself cannot be 16 pounds...- 49ersGuy

I prefer high-gain on MJ3 when driving LCD5 regardless of volume level... just sonically more "impactful"...- 49ersGuy
