I hopped in on the $600 drop and have had them for a few days. Background: I'm using a Schiit Jotunheim with Multi-bit DAC. My only other good headphones are the HD6XX and the B&O BeoPlay H6 2nd gen. The H6's were my first. Then I got the HD6XX in search of something a little more natural /...

I ended up returning my pair of M1060s. I found that the 5k ringing / sibilance was just too much for me. I'd get a "sonic hangover" / sick feeling within an hour. I think the tolerance for this peak will be on a person-by-person basis so YMMV if you are thinking about getting these. I did not...

So I just experienced the infamous "ringing" glitch with my Jot multi-bit / Windows 10. This is the first time I've noticed it having owned the unit since late June 2018. I heard a faint ringing noise in the left channel on some newly purchased hi-res tracks. I initially thought it was the file...

I've only had the m1060s for a couple days so it's too early to tell if they will be fatiguing. I don't think I'm getting any of the infamous 5K "ringing", but I am not sure because there doesn't seem to be a good / objective description of it that people agree on in this thread. I do think they...

Just in case anyone is curious about SE vs Balanced output with the Multibit Jot and HD6XXs: I received a Massdrop / Venture Electronics 1.2M balanced cable today. My initial impressions are that it sounds considerably "better" than the stock SE cable. There's an obvious volume difference, but...

Ok - I got a bit of testing in: TLDR: No change on the USB side. Filtering on the GFCI breaker helped a little with the analog hum but not white noise. Running on the regular breaker sounded better but still had some noise regardless of filtered or non-filtered. First off - I can say that as...

I have HD6XX. I do have an ebtech hum-x somewhere. I also have a couple power conditioning strips I can try out. I'll dig all that stuff out tonight if I have time. Also - I believe the room I am in is on a GFCI or AFCI style breaker, so I'll probably see if I can replicate the humming on an...

So here are my noise observations with a new Jotunheim that I got about 2 weeks ago with the multi-bit DAC: Very slight amount of white noise with the volume at 3 o clock or higher when I'm on the USB input. It is there even if the USB is unplugged which should rule out a ground loop correct? I...

Just wanted to drop a note in this thread in case anyone is worried about latency with the Jotunheim multibit card when it comes to gaming. I've put it through some paces and I don't notice any perceptible lag. I made sure to check some audio & visual cues that are meant to be in sync and they...

They claim the multibit is "cheap assed balanced" via an analogue stage. It's outlined with very few details here at about 8 mins 15 seconds https://www.facebook.com/Schiit/videos/1720440738014542/
