I received my Loki this week: i tested it with my Violectric dac and amp and Sony Z1r.
It feel a little light in hand but the potentiometers and switch are sturdy.
At first i checked it to find if adding loki in the signal path would negatively affect the sound: i was worried about detail, transparency and soundstage but my system don't seems to be affected (to me)by any loss.
Now the adjustment; the problem that i wanted to solve was a certain slowness in the rhythm i experienced on some songs with a lot of bass: with great surprise with a minimum of adjustment at mid bass and bass i obtained the result maintaining at the same time the character of the headphones.

Love my Loki mini. I use it with my Th900 and HD660S. In case Schiit is listening, consider me another customer for whom an uber Loki with balanced in/out in a gungnir-width chassis would be a definite purchase.

That would be nice and while you at it....make me an Asgard 2 sized unit with 2 extra knobs :.)

One vote for a Loki with balanced connectors from me too: i would one for my speaker setup.

Would also like an XLR connector version, for my Gustard X20U DAC/H10 amp combo. Would be nice to have a few more bands as well, or the ability to have more choice in frequency for each band, like say a 3 position toggle switch for each knob .

Did simple, easy mod to my Loki...couldn't take the stock LED intensity or look:

6 layers of Kapton tape over the LED...1/8" punch used to cut the circle out. Much better match to the LED on my Gustard H10s now:

Still need to wrap the LED with a layer or two of Kapton tape for full effect - to get rid of that harsh light bleeding through the knob holes...

Hi All....In need of some guidance/help please

Apologies for not being able to think this one out on my own but would a Loki work well together with a Jotenheim? Would someone walk me through it connection wise and how it would be the main out for my headphones etc?>

Thank you very much indeed!

Cheers

The Loki would sit between your DAC and your Jotunheim. The Loki has only single-ended (RCA) inputs and outputs, so you would connect it to the Jotunheim "SE IN" jacks. If you only use balanced headphones and amps, perhaps it would be better to wait for a possible "Loki Maxi" that may include balanced features. Some say it is a myth that balanced headphones are better. I have no opinion on that.

Thank you kindly for your reply. The Jotenheim is a one-stop shop with phenomenal value as a headphone + DAC amplifier. Even as that stands, There are free RCA connectors on the rear so would this work, as in would it work DEFINITELY?!

Much Appreciated

If you are using the Jot as both Dac and Amp (digital in, headphone plugged in front) then this will not work. It will only work when you have separate components.

Thanks @bzzzt, I was about to correct my original post to say it will only work with headphones if the Jot is used with another DAC. If used with only a Jot, the Loki can only EQ the Pre Out signal to an amplifier. I keep forgetting the Jot is an all-in-one. I think I'm going to stop answering questions about stuff I don't have right in front of me. Sorry @Share2Care.

Could you use a pair of 1/4"->RCA adapters and go Jot headphone out->adapter->Loki->adapter->headphones?
Kind of a convoluted way to do it and probably not ideal, but I imagine that would work.

Loki is not intended for amplified signals. I don't think the manufacturer would recommend that.

I certainly appreciate your help. I asked a question followed by an answer that I really was expecting to receive as the Jot is unique as all things lol.

Cheers

Upgrade time lol

This really sucks. I was just going to pull the trigger on this but it won't work with my current configuration and it isn't going to change either. Please confirm I'm correct in my statement or if there a work around with?........
PC>Mimby>SYS>LYR2>Jot
If The Loki sits between DAC and amp, the SYS taking that slot already. The SYS is full obviously and wouldn't that be where the Loki would hook up into? I also still want the capabilities to be able to swap between amps when I want to without tearing my gear apart. Clear up my head if I'm wrong in my thought process and comfort my crushed feelings if I'm dead in the water.
