Frequency Response: 20Hz-20KHz, -0.1dB, 2Hz-180KHz, -3dB  (emphasis mine)
This power bandwidth spec is quite impressive for a power amp.
The Mojo amp has a similar low frequency response spec.

 
As do lots of amps, including the Magni for $99: 20Hz-20Khz, -0.1db, 2Hz-200KHz, -3dB.  
 
Many amps do this, including very basic ones...this is not why these amps are different.

Been enjoying the LCD-X and Mj (and Gu) combo for almost 6 months now.  I couldn't possibly be happier.  I cannot really compare it to any other amp in a similar price range, but mark me down as another happy customer.  It sounds magnitudes better than the Magni, but it also costs magnitudes more lol.
 
Ain't nothin' like blasting "One of These Days" by Pink Floyd with the combo.  It is unbelievable- not good for my hearing, but unbelievable.  They almost scare me sometimes.

My Mojo came with a very shiny chrome volume knob, which doesn't really match the original aluminium body color. Search ebay and managed to find one sand blasted aluminium volume knob with squoval shape.

comparing the two, the new volume knob is few mm taller
 

shiny chrome original volume knob
 

matching aluminium color and fit perfectly in Mojo. The shape of the volume knob look like the one on Auralic Taurus
 
So which one looks better on Mojo?

I personally prefer the stock one, it doesn't seem too shiny... but that's based on the photos you loaded. If it's really that garishly shiny in person, then I suppose the round one would stand out less. I simply prefer the shape of the stock one more.

Yes, it is Neutrik xlr female cover

The stock like volume knob also available in sand blasted alloy color, and cheaper than the round one. If I want to do my own version little 'facelift' to the Mojo, why not get other shape instead of going for stock like knob in various color.

Just ordered the Mjolnir to accompany my incoming Gungnir.  After reading Jason's Schiit history book, I got so puckered up about made in the USA, starting in a garage, all the metal problems, and etc. that I decided No Way was I going with an amp made in China.  Delivery expected w/ the Gung (that's backordered) later in December.  A nice Christmas present!!

^^^You're gonna love the M/G stack. I put several thousands of hours on mine and really enjoyed a lot. Still using the G with Wyrd and even better with the rok.

Yea, I've heard great things about the Rok.  Like, afterworld out-of-body musical experiences with the Rok + Audez'e.  Maybe in the future.  For now, I'm really looking forward to the upgrade from the B/A2 to the balanced Gung/Mojo stack with mo power!!

Anyone know, or can theorize, what the best input impedance would be to Mjolnir? Just because I'm an experimenter at heart I'm thinking about putting a balanced tube buffer between my Gungnir and  Mjolnir.

I've been going nuts over HD 600's paired up with different amps so I've got a question... How well do the HD 600 pair up with the Schiit Mjolnir and Gungnir stack? I need an amp I can upgrade to further down the road, and I currently have the Asgard 2 and Modi right now.
