Hey all, Jason of Schiit and I were chatting about our products, I've been using the Jotenheim 2 as my lab bench system for both listening and tests, and Jason and crew were enjoying the Noire. We felt the pairing was particularly synergistic and fun... So we put our noodles together and came...

Hey Everyone, I own a first gen Schiit Jotunheim I use in my main desktop listening setup. I am considering switching to a different amp, and was considering sticking a DAC in this Jotunheim and repurposing it elsewhere. My question is, are the current DAC board Schiit sells made for the...

Total noob quesion here but I also cant seem to find a straight answer what is "better" Low gain or High. In my set up I have HD650 and HE400I on a Jotunheim and I have always done high gain. Sonicaly, and I would guess this depends on the topology of the amp is it better to run higher volume...

The title kinda says it all, what is a good sub 500 closed back and balanced headphone for the Jotunheim OG with a AKM Dac (may upgrade to the ESS.) I'm upgrading from the Jot OG to Jot 2 for my main system and I am planning on bringing the Jot OG to work to have on my desk. From what I...

I'm building a desktop system to go with my computer. Music and gaming. Anyways, I was looking at the Schiit stuff and was thinking of starting there but was unsure about their DAC options and if I would be better off with a Jotunheim or if the Magnius/Modius would work fine. If I went...

I am planning to buy a Sennheiser HD 650 soon while keeping my HD 598 as well. As my present headphone amp (Little Dot 1+) is not generally considered as sufficient to drive HD 650, I am considering to buy a new DAC and AMP along with the headphone. At the moment I am considering Schiit Modius +...

Hello HeadFi-ers, first time poster. I created this account to ask what’s your opinion for upgrading from a Fiio Q1Mk2. Jotunheim + Modi3, or Topping DX7Pro? Read a lot of reviews, watched a lot of youtube, but I’m none the wiser; people rave about both, people hate on both, nobody compared...

I will be selling some audio stuff once I can post on corresponding forums. Message me if you want it now. Prices TBD, shipping negotiable depending on mood after the first mid-term. Trade welcome, but prefer US$. For now, here's a teaser: Monolith M560, no mods, I'll leave in something from...

Hi all, I recently purchased a pair of Sony Z1R headphones and I’m planning to use them exclusively on my desktop PC at work (streaming hifi music from tidal). I’m thinking about pairing my new headphones with a DAC/amp device but not sure what’s best or recommended for my use case. I don’t...

Looking for a new pair of gaming headphones (maybe for music as well) and a DAC/AMP for the HD 6XX and the new headphones for gaming. I want headphones that are good for FPS games (such as BFV, counterstrike, etc). After some research, the HD660S and Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro are the top...

Hi all, Having browsed a few hifi stores and searched on the forums I have still not found the ultimate piece of kit for my situation. Budget - Sub £600. Genre - Alt, indie and classic rock. Location: UK. I have some Sennheiser HD700's which I listen to on my iMac with a 3.5--> 6.35mm adaptor...

Hello everyone, I was considering buying a Schiit Jotunheim with the multibit module and wanted some delucidations: 1- Do you think the 100€ is worth the upgrade from the balanced DAC(100€) to the multibit DAC(200€) module for the Jot? 2- As I understand it the Jot is ok for me since I own...

Hi everyone, It has been a while since I have posted but I am getting ready for a headphone/equipment upgrade and I wanted to get some thoughts about the two options I am considering and see if you guys can help guide my decision making process. What I currently have: Emotiva XDA-2 -> Little...

I ordered the HD800S, should be here after new year. Now I'm wondering if I should sell my Valhalla 1/modi multibit stack and go buy a jotunheim instead. Jotunheim also got the XLR port, which is something good right? Thoughts on this? Some says the jotunheim is excellent, others says it makes...

I'm thinking about replacing my Conductor (about 5 years old with ES9018), mostly because it is overkill for how I use it. I never use it as a preamp I often don't use it as a DAC (sometimes feeding it Bimby or Mojo instead of using the internal) It's really damn big I do however really like...

Hi everyone, Just ordered the Sennheiser 6XX and am looking to get a DAC/Amp setup for them. Right now I'm between getting the Bottlehead Crack + Speedball and Modi 2 Uber or the Jotunheim dac/amp combo. However, I also have a pair of CustomArt's ei.3 CIEMs that are rated for 48ohm @ 1khz...
