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.

You shoulda gone black…

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?

In my stack, the Jot's finish appears slightly brushed whereas the Bifrost looks smooth.

My OCD would kick in hard, can’t do it. Wonder how the black finishes look on each?

In my experience all of the black Schiit products look the same. Black powdercoating is probably the easiest color to get consistent. In the past I've also received silver products with different finishes.

No thanks - way too many black components in my household already.

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!

Nice! Ugly knob crew member

Just an idea by my Bifrost 2 is under my desk being held by some outdoor strength velcro. And indeed the finish on my BF2 is different than Jot2. I still prefer silver, very unique looking.

I have the dumbest question here…
Has anyone tried the D90 > Jot2 combo?

I will say that does sound like some Hersey but im very curious about the pairing.

I have tried it some time ago, wasn't terrible but D90 was fairly flat IMO. The Jot helped this. From memory I still preferred the Bifrost 2 pairing as it was more relaxed and natural. Less sharp, more engaging. I no longer own the D90.

Yes, Jot 2 is sufficient as a single amp and future-proof for the headphones you intend to have in the future, guaranteed success.
Just run Jot 2 balanced with good Dac XLR like modius or if you can spend more Bifrost 2.

No need to go beyond that, don't just look at high specs, it doesn't say everything about sound that will actually be heard.

A90 also has higher specification sheets than the Jot 2, but the Jot 2 is more musical, I like to listen, according to several reviews who have both.

Jot 2 + modius / Jot 2 + Bifrost

Don't use Jot 2 with built-in dac card, it's not the best deal, Jot 2 always with separate dac that sim is better game performance and audio quality.

Ty for this! Hoping to pair a Jot2 with my Bifrost 2 as soon as I can get my hands on one.

Never seen anyone mount their stuff under. Guess it’s no bother

Has anyone done extensive comparisons of the Jot2 with the Multibit card vs. Jot2 and Bifrost 2? I have the Jot2 with the Mulitibit card, happy with the current configuration for the most part but on rare occasion I do hear some D-A conversion artifacts I don’t hear on my other system, so I find myself wondering if upgrading to Bifrost 2 is something to consider?
