Yes. There's Jotunheim R in whatever livery and there is another one, RAAL-requisite HSA-1a.
Some quick and dirty pics of the prototype:



The changes to what is seen here are: the volume know will be mirror-polished red anodized, the logo will have red zig-zag line.

That’s great news. Sign me up.

Great another reference point. I’ll be buying a set of your headphones soon. I have 3 clients so far with them. So I decided to work on a new interface box for them just for fun. I’ve been a big fan of your tweeters for years, and love what you have done with these headphones.

What is the volume pot in this amp ?
Schiit Audio use Blue ALPS Potentiometer in all of its amps which i dont like its sound anymore,
so i pass on any amp use that pot and i hope this amp use a different one.

It not Blue Alps. I don't know which it is, but Blue Alps is spec'd to 10k cycles, this one is to 100k cycles, that's all I know.

Sounds like more review work for Torq!

Pardon my naivete but how would you connect a phone or something to the Jotunheim R to play music from? From what I understand it's meant to be a stand alone box but from photos I've seen I don't see an audio in for a 3.5mm, I only see the headphone XLR port in the front?

Thank you very much , that's a good news

Coming from a phone, you can either use a 3.5mm to dual-RCA cable to connect to the single-ended inputs on the back of the Jotunheim R, or buy the version with the DAC card in it and connect to that via a USB cable from your phone.

Had a chance to listen to these yesterday at Bloom (thanks Andrew!) - amazing resolution and soundstage. I much preferred them to the Empyreans that I also auditioned, but did notice the SR1a’s were relatively a bit light in the bottom end. The set-up was using a Schiit Vidar through the interface box, so maybe the JotR helps here? Hoping to hear them again with the JotR at CanJam NYC... One suggestion I would make to RAAL would be to have a labeled ratcheting action for the angle of the earpieces. Anyone dropping that much coin for these is going to be at least a little neurotic (like me), and would appreciate an easily repeatable setting once you get the configuration dialed in.

For those interested, I just posted this on Jason's thread about my first day with the SR1a and Jotunheim R combo.

Is there a manual for the SR1A online? I didn't seem to get one with mine and haven't been able to locate one on Raal's site or in the thread.

 

[FLTWS]

I don't remember a manual but the website and reviews had all the info I needed and check the accessories page on their website. One un-obvious thing, I think I found the serial# under the vertical pads as I removed them just to see how easy/hard it would be. I think they slide up and down / on and off at the bottom and top. The leather bands are easily adjusted / moved and I bought a leather punch for a few bucks off Amazon in case I want to add holes for more adjust-ability.

My main interest was what the manual would say about adjustments. Especially the smaller outer band (not the metal outer one).

Anyone with the new JOTUNHEIM R with the internal DAC?
Does it also have connections to an external DAC?
If yes, what types of connection options?

Thanks!
