Dang! The Gumby, M3. and Freya N would make a lovely space heater...errrrmmmm...component stack! I wonder what the BTU output of such a stack would be?Ummmmm. No! (IMHO). The thermal load is at the very edge of acceptable from what I can tell from Jason's previous posts. I would highly discourage stacking on top of MJ3.

Silver Mjolnir 3 is looking good!Oh, and some new photography is up.
I think Schiit should list the BTU output of all their devices under specs.Dang! The Gumby, M3. and Freya N would make a lovely space heater...errrrmmmm...component stack! I wonder what the BTU output of such a stack would be?
You are a week early.i don't see any new video on ytube. Facebook is uncooperative as usual. I wonder what the gist is with the Aegir 2?
Thanks!You are a week early.
Heat question: Can a Gumby be stacked on top of a M3?
Top? No.
Bottom? Should be fine.
Far be it for me to disagree with Jason on something he says about his own products, but even the Mjolnir 3 on top of the Gungnir gets borderline too hot for my taste. At least without spacers, the Gungnir's metal heats up quite a bit with a Mjolnir 3 on top. That's not the Gungnir being unable to dissipate its own heat, but getting heated up by the Mjolnir sitting on it. This might not necessarily harm the Gungnir, but it's not great, either.
With spacers, however, it's fine. (I've been using cheap Amazon-sourced large-ish cork stoppers. Others like to use HVAC anti-vibration pads.)
But yes, anything on top of the Mjolnir is definitely a bad idea.
Yeah, hence "should be fine." But Gungnir puts out a decent amount of heat. Plus there is thermal load from the bottom of the MJ3. So "should be fine," means "in a cool room."Far be it for me to disagree with Jason on something he says about his own products, but even the Mjolnir 3 on top of the Gungnir gets borderline too hot for my taste.
