iDSD Black Label vs. Schmitt Jotunheim w/DAC? Anyone with experience (or know of head-to-head review) care to comment?

At the price of this deal, unless you need balanced, the iFi is the better choice for its versatility, arguably better DAC, its portability, and its bass boost and soundstage adjustments. The weak channel separation on the Jot turned me off of it, but that's me. Buy both, if you can, they do fill very different roles by design.

Exactly what happened to me last time... I know how you feel.
On a positive note: I believe this has been the 3rd time (or maybe 4th time) in the last 5-6 months or so that price showed up. Hopefully within a month or 2 it would reappear. Keep an eye on this thread! :wink:

The ifi black edition is amazing!!! Seriously!! AMAZING!! made my TH-X00 sound like the TH-900 (yes I owned the 900 before) I will definitely pay $549 but if you wanna wait for the lowest price you can subscribe to the deal in Slickdeals, that is what I did, search for ifi black, then subscribe and they will send you an email when the deal is back.

Hifiman 400i $225

Just so everyone knows, Ritz is not an authorized Hifiman dealer. May be worth considering re: build quality...
