Big thanks to Schiit again for providing some of their new gear to demo at the meet! Despite RMAF being gone for a while now they've consistently supported our Denver meets and the kits have been fantastic performers. If you are looking for a sweet integrated the Rag2 is on sale...

I think there is a touch more noise which translates into warmth? Extremely subtle vs OG Pietus gain switch - that one was drastic! I've listened to Medium gain more often just to accustom myself and they seem pretty close... Medium maybe a touch more transparent

A+ seller here, buy with confidence!

Glad you are loving it! My Pietus has outlasted many amps that have come across my desk. Including one that won't be named at a $2,000 price point. The Pietus reacts very well to source changes so there is definitely plenty to be squeezed out of it. More importantly while I've had other amps...

I've had some fairly high-end gear, from DACs->amps->headphones, but as you pointed out personal preference trumps literally everything. I consider myself fortunate to be so very pleased where I'm at. I give much of the credit to the new Yggdrasil+ MIB, which - rather than being considered...

I ran it for about 12 hours without turning it off, it's still on now so it's at about ,30. I'll be listening to it more this week to confirm. I stated before with MIB the delta is closer between amps for my specific headphone, than it was with BF2. MIB is just crazy layered especially in the...

The Pietus Maximus is an exceptional amp, so I'm not too worried :) I'm using a nice Goldpoint to split signal for easy testing and uhh, yeah. Both sound great. If I was still using a BF2 I'm sure the delta would be further.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I used BAL out on the MJ3 (I was also not as big of a fan using SE on MJ3) and a 4Pin to SE adapter for the Pietus Maximus. The HD580 JAR is the best I've got and honestly, and is my preference for all around tonality and technicality. I've tried a few...

JAR580s are a seriously good headphone for dynamics, while they do max out.. JAR series cans are very, very good.

Just received my new MJ3 in - sounding pretty dang good however, not sure if it is almost $1k better than the Pietus Maximus I currently use. I've got 580JAR headphones and my chain may be at the ceiling of what they are capable of. With the MIB, it sounds utterly glorious.. The PM is a little...

Guess we shall see when people get their hands on both. Personally I'd love a Mentor loaner or something. Get some members hands on it to build a review base.

A+ Head-Fi'er and an all around awesome guy!

Reds output jitter is the lowest I've ever seen measured. I'm curious why Unison sounds a bit sharper/harder or flatter to me, to the point it kind of breaks my system synergy. It's just too much for my already pretty neutral system. I'm thankful there are options for those with different...
