Putting my black Schiit Jotunheim v1 up for sale. It has the v1 AKM4490 dac module and is in like new condition. Asking $300 shipped to the US48. Comes with the Jot and power cable. Please shoot me a PM with any questions. I also have a pair of HD600s that I’ll be listing after the jot...

Have you contacted ESS to see if it is still there? This sucks if someone really did walk off with it. I have grown to trust this group and feel free to walk away from my gear at meets. I really hope this shows up and was just a mistake in what someone grabbed.

Let try the picture thing again.... Finally two from the 2ch listening room...

Here are some pictures from the meet. Thanks @ThePianoMan for getting things setup and Schiit for sending out the gear and providing the space.

Has anyone seen any good instructions of the FAQ #3 mod for the resistors on the input or for the choke on the power supply circuit? Pretty sure I understand them, however, wouldn't mind having a go-by or something to reference off of.

Take a look at the Bowers & Wilkins 800 series. Made from laminated wood. I agree with the sentiment of who wrote this and having someone in marketing or even a technical person write would have sold it much better. Simply using the term laminate and not plywood would have gone a long way...

Are you selecting the Jot as your output device in windows? Also do you have the correct input selected?

Part of the reason for the 'U' shape on a few of the first amps was that the case was used as a heatsink.    

Wouldn't bluetooth be a digitial signal that would be received by the CXAC60 that would then be converted to analog and fed to the amplifier? So the Digital to Analog Conversion would be in the CXAC60

There a number of people that use toilet paper to tame the highs on headphones.  Search this thread and there is some earlier discussion.  Some of the 'pro' T50rp modders also used TP in their versions.

From what I recall reading it does use the 5V to make the connection but the DAC itself is powered off the Jot powersupply.  So the receiver is powered off USB but the DAC is not.  

They have a use in the circuit. I don't recall exactly but they are used because they have as constant power draw and that factor is used in setting or stabilizing part of the circuit. Schiit provided the answer somewhere in here or the schiit happened thread.

I run a similar setup but with a 128GB USB drive. No issues like he is having. OP, what is powering your HDD? If it doesn't have its own power supply consider trying a powerd hub.

Hmm, Im using a Raspberry Pi 2 and the Schiit Jot (same USB receiver as the Modi MB) and am not having any issues.  I will get a click sometimes when changing tracks alot.       Are you getting clicks throughout the track or just at the start?  It may help to change your buffer settings.    ...

My bedside rig. Pi2 running volumio feeding the Jot which powers some Ether Cs.

Will be there. I'll bring my Jot, Ether Cs and HD6xx

My review of the BL is up after my week with it on the tour.  A big thanks to iFi for the opportunity.     http://www.head-fi.org/products/ifi-audio-micro-idsd/reviews/17749

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but the Aria has to go back to Luke for repair.   When I unpacked the Aria I noticed a small flaw in the housing which upon closer inspection while taking some pictures last night (macro lenses are great for finding every flaw in a product) I noticed it again...

I'm the current stop on the tour, got them from bhazard today.

What is lacking from the NFB-11?  Its putting multiple watts into your headphones based on the ratings, should be enough to make you deaf.     Also, what is your budget?  

Im guessing you want a combined DAC and AMP that is more powerful than the NFB-11.     What headphone are you powering?  The NFB-11 should be able to drive most headphones to very loud levels.  What is causing you to look for more power?
