From what I remember reading, they will be selling them in batches for an indefinite time. So, if they are in stock now, they might not be shortly because they've sold out of that particular batch. Then, it will be 1-2 months-ish before they have new stock from another batch run. From the way it sounds, they won't be going away right now, but 6 months from now, who knows.

Just purchased one of these bad boys! Should arrive next week, excited to see if the hype is real…. I’m new to the headphone game, figure this would be a decent start.
For anyone who’s on the fence about headphone cables, Stay away from apos flow cables, they are simply overpriced. People say cables make no difference but i assure you that periapt cables perform better. Ergonomically speaking the flow cable is nice. But if you want the best performance to price ratio then go with periapt. I haven’t heard other cables, but what i know for a fact is that apos is charging a lot more money than periapt is for a cable that performs worst sonically. Again, i assure you this. I can hear up to 18k. Trust me on this.
I'm using Periapt also for all my 3.5mm compatible headphones, and they're excellent indeed.
Anyone else having cap problems in the MJ3? Spotted a couple caps go bad on a unit I was getting- visible bulging when looking through the lid. Opened up for a pic but this can be seen easily without doing so:
Doesn't seem to be a heat issue since the caps next to them are of the same values and the same ones went bad on each channel - so perhaps this is a PSA - take a look at your Mjolnir 3 and check these two caps. They are visible through the lid and you'll easily be able to see if they are good with a little light. I don't think this will be too common though and Schiit will undoubtably take care of any issues.

Mines been turned off for about a week, but one of mine have a bit of leakage on the top of the cap and the other is very slightly bulging. Could be something worth looking into. Mine is from the first batch.

just trying to promote my boy ;p
Trevor is a super nice guy and Norne even has some cables around ~$250 which is pretty incredible for what you get.

Oh god now i'm going to go look....
100% this is a problem. Leakage is well into failure territory. You need to contact Schiit.

Good to know of another potential failure point. I'll keep my eyes peeled for this issue when I get mine back from getting the gain switch problem fixed on Monday 
. Mine's a very early first run unit as well.
