Sweet looking pile, Slade!

Does it make a difference what goes on top ?the Amp or the DAC ?

 

[Maxvla]

Amp on top for heat dissipation.

to connect the AMP and DAC i use

Moon Audio Black Dragon V1 Interconnect but theres different ways to connect it ? one side has an arrow pointing in , does that go to AMP or DAC ?

IMO the arrow must be pointed to the amp...so DAC Black Dragon -->> AMP

Does it make a difference  ? like the sound ? and when its balanced you move the Switch to balanced right ? and balanced means you connect the red which is the right side right ? like the balanced cables , black is left and red is right ?

yes the red is right and black/white is left..yup i switched it to balanced..for differences i don't really know because my Neotech NEI-3001 also have the arrow and the end its the male xlr plug which is connected to the Mjolnir/amp

Then I would check with Jason. That combo gets really hot even when the amp is on top. I can only imagine how hot it is when reversed.

Great amp :-D

 

[Rebel975]

By placing the DAC on top you are restricting airflow to the amp. Ultimately? It probably doesn't even matter. These units use the case as a heatsink, and therefore can easily dissipate their heat.

I think that let the Mjolnir under the Gungnir is too hot :-O
