Its like he didn't read anything you or I wrote lol or he's reading backwards... I compared your use case to mine with Saga S so I don't know what he's talking about literally nobody asked about using headphones without speakers. unless your my gf and i forgot to turn my HPA off last night... but if i had the Jot2 at my desk the problem would be the same in that Schiit doesn't have selectable outputs for ANY products. annoying but hey nothing is perfect

listen to headphones without speakers on the Jot 2, without unplugging the headphonesl

did you even read this??? madness lol

who on this earth wants Pre-amp and headphones AT THE SAME TIME

I'm guessing you've never tried headphones + a subwoofer at the same time?

Exactly! It's a messed up design. You could easily screw up some headphones if you turn on the preamp to listen to speakers and crank up the volume with the headphones still plugged in.

I suggest you find an app that suits you.

Good listening.

Has anyone bought a Jot2 in the recent months? I'm curious what your volume knob looks like for the silver version.

I purchased a Jot2 in December and this is what it looks like:

Right now here's how it is connected:

• Apple Airport Express (Gen2) => Jot2 SE input (we have several AirPort Express units around the house as our whole-house AirPlay 2 music system)
• Mac Pro (2019) => Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 => Jot 2 Balanced Inputs (long-run benefits from balanced lines as the Jot2 is not close to the Mac Pro)
• Macbook Air (2013) => Jot2 Multibit Card (this Mac is used as a dedicated music player)
• Balanced (differential) headphone output => Sennheiser HD 650
• Balanced output => not used (yet), eventually, I will get a pair of bookshelf active monitors, the output on/off switch is a nice Jot2 feature

And it all sounds great!

Mobius or Bifröst 2 to stack with Jot 2? Connecting MDR-Z1R and HD800S. Is it worth the upgrade.

Bifrost 2 is by all accounts an upgrade over the Modius and endgame for plenty

I have the Jotunheim 2 and Bifrost 2 with both those headphones. Soundwise you will not be disappointed. Plenty of detail rivaling my A90/D90 but with more punch and not overly clinical.

Does the aluminum of the Bifröst and Jot still differ in their texture and look as seen on zeos reviews YouTube channel? Or did they change the aluminum to match?

If you buy them around the same time they should match. Jason has stated that having consistent silver color has been an issue.

The Jot 2 has a brushed finish and the Bifrost 2 has a satin finish. Unless you look really closely, the difference is not that noticeable.

I read somewhere you can change the voltage from 110v to 220v on the internal PSU is that true? How would I go doing it?

It's actually the difference in color that bugs me, not the finish difference. The BF2 has a significantly yellower/warmer cast than the Jot2. It's the only thing I really dislike about my stack.
