Aloha All! I’m having a very hard time deciding between the Jotunheim and the THX AAA 789. From what I’ve read, they’re very similar and neither is really “better” than the other. I know I want to pair my amp with the Mimby and a pair of HD650s. Does anyone have any experience with this chain...

Thank you very much. Still undecided, but leaning towards Jot since I've had my eye on it for so long. Seems the 789 is a strong contender and one probably wouldn't go wrong with either.

Thank you! Could you please explain what you mean by "wire amp"? The chain I'm heavily considering buying is Eitr -> Mimby -> Jot -> 6XX/4XX/Argon Mk3 and I'm trying to decide if the 789 should replace Jot in my lineup.

From what I gather they pair together quite well and the Mimby helps the Jot become a little more well rounded (it's a bit bright on it's own), so they can work with most any headphones that aren't already overly bright (HD700, looking at you) and really shine with those that are a little...

you probably saw this coming but a lot of people love the mimby+jot pairing.

Good advice. Have you personally tried the Crack+SB with the HD800? Seems like in theory that would be a great match, but I don't know either product.

I've heard very good things about these: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ImpactAudioCables

Looking forward to this too!

Thanks, looking forward to it! I'm pretty sold on the (source -> Eitr -> Mimby -> Jot -> HD6XX/HE4XX) setup I'm planning on build, but I still like to hear about comparisons of other DACs against Mimby.

from their website: http://www.schiit.com/about/on-deals ON "DEALS" We get asked all the time about deals, sales and other incentives, such as Black Friday specials, EZ credit, trade-ins, monthly payments, purchasing with 2 cards, and a whole raft of other “can I get a better price” questions...

  Hmmm... doesn't sound like doing all this will provide any better sound than just plugging my headphones right into the controller. Too bad, I really like how much the FiiO E17K improved the sound coming out of my work/home laptops, and was hoping I could get the same "upgraded sound quality"...

  So with that it would go: PS4 -> Optical cable -> E03k optical in -> 3.5mm out -> line in E17K -> Headphones  ?     Does this allow the E17K to function as a DAC for the PS4, or is it just going to be a headphone amp at this point? I guess there's would also be sound quality improvement...

  I'm no cable expert and I've haven't heard anything about that seller or their cables, but I have heard good things about cables from here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ImpactAudioCables Also heard some good things about this seller...

Aloha All,   I have the FiiO E17K Alpen 2 that I bought when I was just starting to get into this hobby (just a few months ago) because I bought a Senn 598SE and read that an amp might help it sound "better", and a DAC probably wouldn't hurt either. I've since been doing more reading and now I...

  I've heard good things from multiple people in multiple forums about cables from Impact Audio Cables

I'm wondering if anyone can give me some advice on how to get this to work with the PS4. It doesn't seem to be recognized through USB, so I'm seeing if there's another way.   I'm guessing this might work, but it seems awfully clunky and with all those cables/adapters, might not even be better...

Not sure if this is well known, but thought I'd share: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9G-GgSr8xs

  Did you get the speedball upgrade as well?

For those of you concerned about leaving the amp on 24/7, I had this exchange with Schiit tech support (I had previously asked him about the 24hr power draw from the Mimby):   Me: 'I'm also considering ordering the Jotunheim and I also saw that it should be left on. Could you estimate how many...

  User Ancipital posted an excellent review of the Jot with the HD 650 and Mimby and had this to say about SE vs balanced on the HD 650:   "I swapped the cable for the balanced one, and buckled up slightly apprehensively. Logically, I wasn't expecting a huge difference- but I was hoping for...

  Looking forward to it!

Awesome to see what appeared to be a derailment get back on course and resolve amicably, all around. 

Can you please link to said thread? I have a feeling I know which one but I don't want to assume. Thanks!

  Wow, these look great. Did you guys go for the Neutrik or Eidolic source term? The Neutrik is cheaper, but the Eidolic looks cooler (IMHO)...
