They both are great, but my preference is the Multibit dac....

which DAC to chose Multibit DAC or AK4490 DAC, any
recommendation.

To me it's multibit for sure.

 

[aisalen]

Didn't hear yet the Multibit DAC but I have internal AK4490 DAC with my Jot that I didn't used, it is crap compared to my smsl su-8 even with my previous smsl m8.

From Schiit's Jotunheim-R webpage:
"This amp was designed for one kind of headphones only: the Raal/Requisite ribbon headphones."

[amele]

I’ve owned several Schiit products and never had any issues. Recently my Jotunheim developed an Issue where output would be lost from one channel. Schiit repaired it in less than a week and I’m happy to have it back to drive my new Aeon Flow Closed’s. Very pleased with Schiit’s warranty service!

Anyone with a Jot and one of the THX amps to compare?

I have a Jot sitting next to a SMSL SP200. Finding the THX overall clearer and punchier, Jot smoother, bit fuller low maybe.

Did Jotunheim get a revision?...There's some speculation that there was changes that was made?

I've read about a "silent revision" somewhere before, but have no proof that early versions of the Jotunheim had sharper treble than recent versions. I've had mine since Fall 2017 I think.

Has it ever been confirmed if Jotunheim did receive a silent revision? I bought my current one from Schiit UK (Electromod) in July 2018 so am curious which version I have.

I find my Jot to be somewhat bright and clinical sounding and have wondered how it compares to the THX amps. I love hearing the Jot's detail and it can punch down low too but it does fatigue me sooner than my other warmer sounding amps. I am intrigued by what I have been hearing about the THX amps but haven't decided whether to pull the trigger or not though. The Massdrop Panda + THX AAA headphone sounds interesting though.

I seldom use my Jots before and favor using my DV336 with my HD600. But since I got my Beyer Amiron, I seldom used my DV. It seems that the pairing of Jots and Amiron to my ear is match made in heaven.

So what's the difference between buying a Jotunheim with the preinstalled multibit card or using the True Multibit? I'm considering upgrading my 4490 Jotunheim if the True Multibit card is worth the difference.

The preinstalled card and the upgrade card are the same. Schiit trademarked the name "True Multibit" relatively recently and began applying the name to all of their multibit products, but they haven't completely updated their website to change every reference of multibit to True Multibit.
