Wow.  Only 8 posts in 10 years!   I think that may be a record!
 
The Jot sure must be special to warrant such a rare post from you!

Yes the Jot. sure is!
 
Actually, after my HDD failed I had completely forgotten this screen name, password, AND my password for the registered mail add. and simply gave up on my account long ago. But after all these year, recently I was able to retrieve my password memo for my mail during a move to a different city and presto! My account's back! Was pretty surprised that the account was still alive, too.

That is pretty crazy. I saw you posted back in 2006, then you were gone until now. 10 years. Gosh! Made me kinda yearn for the old days of the mid and late 2000's, but then again, today they are making better gear than ever! Can't wait until my Jotunheim gets here Friday!

  The little LEDs inside are a nice touch. Looks good.
 

If those are used like their other amps, they are used for biasing and not cosmetic. Though I'm sure they look cool.

I'm so impressed by the industrial design of the Jot.
I think Jason really knocked it outta the park with his new baby!

are you being serious?  I can't tell.  It looks like all the other Schiity amps to me....

I was considering a Jot, but if that is true - no way.

Mr. Alex,
 
DSD isn't a dying "Standard",
 
It was never a "Standard"!

Some might like the Jot better, it's more forward.
Although, if you think the BCL is bad in general, I wouldn't be taking my advice either way.

Anyone have impressions of the DAC vs a Bifrost 4490? The Jot's is balanced and passively filtered vs unbalanced and op amp for the bifrost, but what difference does that make both from an engineering perspective and a sound quality perspective?

I own both the Jotunheim and the GOV2+. My Jotunheim is the DAC/Amp version. I am saying that while both being DACAmps, GOV2+ > Jotunheim. GOV2+ would be rated 11/10 while Jotunheim 8/10. Despite being cheaper and smaller, I realized my GOV2+ is too good.

Care to share what is better about it?

Well, it's an 11/10 so we should all sell our DACS and just go buy one right?

Yep. It's apparently 10% better than any dac made, ever. Ever-ever. And that's "better" not in any mundane way that can be "described" in "words", but it's a mysterious, magical "better" that can only be realized on an ethereal plane, far above pathetic and meager 10/10 dacs.
 
That's one hell of a dac!

Yes, it's the "Spinal Tap" of DACs.
