So this might be an issue with some units where the transformer is too close to the motherboard and possible damaging the "op amp" section? I hope this isn't the case.
Yikes. I'm hoping that they will just send me a new one since I've had this one for less than a month. Still haven't heard back from them.For the repair process I think it was 1-2 weeks from the time they recieved it to the time you get the repair completed email.
No, that doesn't make sense.So this might be an issue with some units where the transformer is too close to the motherboard and possible damaging the "op amp" section? I hope this isn't the case.
For my first returned unit, they immediately sent me a "new" used unit after the return label they sent me was scanned into the FedEx System.Yikes. I'm hoping that they will just send me a new one since I've had this one for less than a month. Still haven't heard back from them.
Hopefully I'll have a new one by next week. Thank you for your input!For my first returned unit, they immediately sent me a "new" used unit after the return label they sent me was scanned into the FedEx System.
That was shipped overnight to me for free.
I thought they would do the same the second time but that wasn't the case.
I have a Denon D5200 hp which is 24 ohm and 103db sensitivity, which is fairly close to your hps and using my Jot2 on either SE or BAL output is dead silent with nothing being played. Perhaps others who have a Stellia can chime in whether they hear hiss. I am thinking your Jot2 might be defective if others don't hear hiss with their Stellia.So I got mine in silver as a candidate for a solid-state office amp (when offices open back up). Like some here I was disappointed to find that there is a noticeable background hiss with very sensitive headphones, specifically, the 106db Stellia. (I don't own IEMs but since they are even more sensitive I can't imagine they would be any better.) This is on high or low gain, independent of the volume dial, and without any inputs plugged in, so I'm forced to conclude this is just the amp's noise floor speaking. The amp overall is built well and fantastic with powerful headphones like my Abyss, but with the profusion of cheap THX AAA amps there is no reason to compromise on noise versus power anymore. My inclination for now is unfortunately to return this and resume the search...
Had the same issue a few weeks back, right channel started having a slight distortion and became worse over a few days. Contacted customer service and the unit was replaced within a few days. My replacement unit has been working great for the past few weeks with no issues. Must of had a bad board.Did anyone else here have issues with distortion with there Jot2? Since yesterday I have been having distortion issues. It was that bad with the Balanced, but when i switched to SE it was really bad. I tried changing cables and connecting it to other sources and DACS and the issue is the AMP. Kind of bummed as I haven't even had it a month and have a pair of Ananda's arriving tomorrow. Schiit was pretty quick to respond to my email and hopefully I will have a replacement soon. Really love the AMP though. Pairing it with a Modius for now, but plan to upgrade to a Bifrost 2 one day.
I hope my replacement has no issues as well. I just got a tracking number for my replacement. Pretty fast turn around time since initially contacting them yesterday morning. Great customer service from Schitt Audio.Had the same issue a few weeks back, right channel started having a slight distortion and became worse over a few days.

Some DACs has volume control, but BF2 does not.Hi. I’m not really understanding this. I’m a relative newbie who has a BF2 and Jot2 coming soon. It makes sense that the source (MacBook or iPhone) would be set loudly. And then keep Jot volume at around 10 or 11. But where does DAC volume come into play?
This seems like a common sense thing but I’m still a little confused.
Just saw this new youtube video and noticed the internal board says "Jotunheim 2 | 1.02". I wonder if this is the only version from debut release or if there is a subsequent revision now.
pic of Jot 2 PCB on their website has rev1.02 on the silkscreen (near the center of the circuit board) , so likely all production boards are that rev.Just saw this new youtube video and noticed the internal board says "Jotunheim 2 | 1.02".

It‘s such a shame. I would very much like to buy one. Great specs, but to many quality issues to risk an import to Germany and Schiit Europe seems to be dead.....
