  I know that some folks have very strong feelings about the validity of Z-reviews.  But if nothing else, his videos are great entertainment.  His little quips and one-liners are absolutely hilarious.  Several of his reviews have literally had me laughing out loud (well after the video was over)!

To me, he is one the few legit "not-paid" reviewers. He is not perfect, but at the very least, he's got
some sound demos to back his impressions. Currawong's reviews are also my favorite, since they're "neutral", without any
"fanboyism".

just picked up the jot with dac.
notice the volume position is much higher compared to my other amps.
perhaps the knob is linear throughout the whole range rather than just the first half as it is with my other gear

i dont notice any sound improvements personally but i haven't listened critically.
nothing jumped at me immediately, which to me, means its the same. its doing its job

The moment I read someone said "upfront in your face sound" I looked elsewhere. We all know all resolutions higher up the chain, the more relaxing listening are.

Kweschun:  When using the Mjolnir 2 in front of your Jot, whereabouts have you set the volume dial on your Mjolnir?  Thanks!
 
EDIT:  (Or, do you leave your Jot cranked all the way up, and control the volume with the Mjolnir alone?  I suppose this would make more sense, with the Jot being even quieter....)

Are you running your Yggy into it? They make an amazing pair.

Yes, with a twist, using Mjolnir 2 as a preamp between them. Heavenly!

I can't set the volume to max on the Jot even with both on low gain because it leave the volume on the MJ2 at a very low setting indeed. So, they are both about midrange.

I agree.  In the end, it's an opinion.

Those of you that own schiit as amps, do you leave them on 24/7? Any issues related to doing so?

No really issue.
But if DAC connected to working PC,it never goes to idle.
And jotunteim gets really hot.

Not as hot as other Schiit.
 
FYI--Cavalli recommends that you not leave the Liquid Gold (solid state) on for extended periods when it is not being used (e.g. over the weekend), as it will shorten the life of its parts.

What confused me is the heat is really different whether pc connected or not.(muted in windows and left overnight compared with pc shutdown)
But when I asked Schiit about this they said that is power consumption is always the same once Jotunheim powered.

 

[Mirakoolz]

   
Compared to what exactly?

 
Fiio E7. Then E09K with SMSL Sanskrit Dac. low end modest gear but has served me well over many years

Hey Franz, have you tried your Jotunheim with sensetive headphones/ IEMs?
any noise floor/ background hissing?

Just got my Mobi:Jot combo.

Is it ok to put the Mobi on top of the JOT??

Any issues with heating the Mobi up from the Jot??

What is the power consumption of both left on 24/7?

More than a 100 watt light bulb?
