  According to Nick at Schiit Audio, plugging in headphones does NOT mute the preamp outputs.  

Bummer!!

 
I might buy it anyway, but it would be ideal for me if it did mute the preamp.

  Got a shipping notification for my Jotunheim, cant wait to try the HD650s balanced. I'll have to re-terminate one of my cables to 4 pin xlr though. Wednesday cant come soon enough!

 
Just got my shipping notification for the amp-only Jotunheim I order Saturday evening.  This will be my first piece of Schiit and I can't wait.  I will run my LCD-2F single-ended initially, and if the sonic signature is good I will be looking for a balanced cable soon enough (Norne?).

Norne does good work, but don't count on "soon".

I'm giving Norne high praise for build quality, materials and price. Do be prepared to wait a bit though.

Correct but since they don't have to also do a case and such for it they can pack more into the card for the same price. I figure if they did a case to make the dac card a standalone it would run in the 150 to 200 range instead of just 100.

The AKM 4490 is available in the Modi Uber, so this is essentially already done sans the "x2" balanced part.  That runs $149 so you're range is probably spot on for a balanced version "with case".

I'm looking forward to some direct comparisons between the Jotunheim and The Asgard 2 and either the original Mjolnir or Mjolnir 2 with LISST.

My Jotunheim is on its way.  Go Schiit way to ship fast.
 
Now I gotta wait...  Ugh...

Dun forget this amp have "pivot point" and " C" core transformer , those are newly implemented. Will like to know how it sound against other schiit amps.

 
Me also. Especially the Jot as a headphone only amplifier versus the Rag as a headphone only amp.

I am really thinking about selling my Parasound Zdac V2,and return the Magni 2U i just ordered for the Jotunheim.I really wanted an all-in-one unit use my LSR305s and the Purplehearts,but ultimately decided on a separate units.And having a great Dac,a balanced pre outs and a very good amp in one is definetly tempting.I will have to see if i like the sound of the Magni fed from the Parasound first though.And i am wondering also,if the 15 day return policy applies if i bought my Schiit from schiit-europe?

Erm.. Just got Chord mojo, if not really might consider this as well....:rolleyes:

Norne takes a few weeks, but compared to DHC, that's express!
