Jotunheim (JH)/Lokius issue

[roadcykler]

I recently got a Lokius to use in my system, but primarily with headphones. My sources are a laptop and a cd player. Currently the laptop is connected to the DAC card in the Jotunheim via a USB B>USB C.

Based on Schiit's site and things I read elsewhere, I determined that I could connect the JH Pre out>Lokius Inpt. Then Lokius Outpt>JH SE in but with that configuration, and the switches in the correct position, the equalizer knobs don't change the sound.

I know it works though because I initially had the cd player connected and used an amp to power bookshelf speakers and the equalizer worked fine. What am I missing?

that’s not gonna work. Jotunheim doesn’t have tape or loop input, but you are basically creating effect loop. You need to connect your source to EQ and the output from EQ to input on the amp.

In your scenario, you probably need to stick with software EQ in player application. Or get separate DAC and plug EQ between DAC and amp.
