Yeah, mine is like that. I actually like it as I usually don't touch the volume but if I do, I can "find" it.

Good point! Didn’t think about that, but might be better than the alternative: an overly sensitive pot. As long as it’s normal behavior, I am happy with it.

Thanks!

I notice it on my Jot and MJ2, I don't think it means anything. Old habits die hard and I'm use to giving a volume control a couple of full range swipes before starting an preamp/amp especially if it's been sitting idle for a number of days. May not really be necessary with the newer pot designs. I'm thinking back to the 60's and 70's.

Nit picky question: does anyone experience any resistance when first turning the volume knob after a period of no use? It may be that the amp is relatively new and cold, but the knob almost has a slight stick when first adjusting the volume after a period of time without use. Afterward, the pot is smooth as can be.

Mine is like that, too.

Yup. I tried a Liquid Gold once and the volume pot was so easy to turn you could bump it and possibly damage your ears by accident.

Yes, I do, doesn't bother me.

Project Ember has a really smooth volume knob too.

Ordered one with the internal dac, will compare with my smsl m8 hear the difference. Pairing with the incoming hd650 to taste desktop setup. I am using speaker system at home and go mobile with wm1a and iems at work.

To my ears listening through er4-xr using jot fed by dragonfly red is far better than the internal dac, the clarity and separation is certainly a step up. Am I Illusioned?

Can I connect my Jotunheim to my playstation 4 and my ps4 to my acive speakers? Anyone tried this?

I have no idea how a playstation works, but if it has audio outputs that can be converted to RCA in on the Jot then why not?

What outputs does PS4 have? The Jot has one set of RCA and Balanced ins/outs. Also, it doesn’t have optical or coax dig inputs, just optional USB... The RCA or Balanced outs will go to your powered speakers...

 

[JohannLiebert]

It has one digital out only.

 

[rkw]

It has one digital out only.

Then you would also need a DAC between the PS4 and Jotunheim.

 

[JohannLiebert]

I have the focusrite 2i2. It is not a dac though. Wouldnt' do right?
I was eyeing with the iDSD micro as well.
