  Ive seen comparison between the Liquid Carbon and the Mjolnir 2 as far as each amps sound signature. Has anyone compared the LC to the Jot? (resolution, bass, soundstage, etc.)?

 
I think someone has. But not on this forum

I compared them directly at a meet a few weeks ago and preferred the Jot. I would say that the Jot is faster, more natural tonality and better bass extension. The LC is very "smooth" and warm except a little bump in the treble. I can see people having a preference for either. But mine was clearly with the Jot.

Hey Matt, sorry if I missed this somewhere posted already but what DAC(s) were you pairing with the them?

  Wow KG in the house. Have you had a chance to hear the Joti? 

Not yet, but I expect to have a good listen soon.​
 
With the board space available on the plug in card, I expect that doing a native balanced dsd dac is going to be pretty easy.
 
This could be the next big thing.

OK, you just made me cave in

 Still waiting for my LC v2, but just ordered a Jot (no DAC). Depending on how they compare with Bimby as input, one of them will pair with the Bimby and MrSpeakers Ether C Flows in my home office, the other will be exiled to work to amplify the output of an iBasso DX90 to feed a pair of MrSpeakers Alpha Prime. There will be an Asgard 2 for sale out of this no matter what...

Has anyone of you upgraded ODAC RevB to this one? I'm especially curious how different would Jotu be compared to ODAC with HD650s. :)

I've just made a similar transition. Replaced Asgard 2 with Jotunheim with Bimby as input.
Can't say how Jotunheim will compare with the LC v2, but Jotunheim > Asgard 2 in every way that I can tell. It is a fabulous combination. 
 
Edit: forgot to mention - using SE HD 600.
 
Edit 2: Only problem is that this now sounds better than my "primary" stereo speaker setup.
