If you can stretch to $400, the Geshelli Labs J2S dac with AKM 4493 and Sparkos op-amps should be a great pairing with the Homage.The Homage has been rotting my brain by how good it looks, and I am genuinely tempted to pick one up but I have a Bokeh on the way soon. Also no DAC yet, but if I do consider the option of the Homage, what more budget friendly, atleast 300ish usd or more would pair well with the Homage?

I have been using my Mjolnir 3 with my Atrium opens for a few weeks now and they sound simply amazing..I have it paired with a BiFrost 2/64 and have been running the MJ3 in push/pull mode with feedback off to get used to the amp. The first thing I noticed was the solid and powerful rumble from the sub bass..The bass is also well controlled. The mid bass punches fast and hard..The mids are still buttery smooth and sound great...The sound stage is wide and holographic..It made everything I love about the Atrium sound a lot better...I'll be honest, I couldn't stop listening to them on this set up. I was like ahh just one more song and then it was three hours later . I am beyond happy with the purchase of it. I don't see myself selling it anytime soon if ever at all.Anybody using their Atrium Closed with a Mjolnir 3? I’m hoping it works as well with the AC as my other headphones.
I've heard from quite a few Atrium Open/MJ3 owners who really love the combination. I haven't found any info on the Atrium Closed/MJ3 paring. I hope it's just as magical!I have been using my Mjolnir 3 with my Atrium opens for a few weeks now and they sound simply amazing..I have it paired with a BiFrost 2/64 and have been running the MJ3 in push/pull mode with feedback off to get used to the amp.

Did you order one? If you did I think you will be happy with the purchase..I've heard from quite a few Atrium Open/MJ3 owners who really love the combination. I haven't found any info on the Atrium Closed/MJ3 paring. I hope it's just as magical!
Yes, my AC is due for delivery next Tuesday.Did you order one? If you did I think you will be happy with the purchase..
I'm using this combo right now (BF2/64 -> MJ3 -> Olive AC), and it's pretty good IMO. Low gain, SE, no feedback, XLR in, XLR out. I think I prefer the staging on the Homage a bit better, especially on a closed back – but the MJ3 does give it extra punch and dynamics that no other amps I've heard offer. It's entirely genre dependent IMO, and plucky acoustic instruments (koto, hammered dulcimers, guitars, harps) and sharper transient percussion are especially a treat on the MJ3.Anybody using their Atrium Closed with a Mjolnir 3?

Thanks for the feedback! I'll be using a Yggy A2, so we have pretty similar setups. I'm going to experiment with high gain and push-pull as well, but I expect low gain and SE to be the best option for the AC.I'm using this combo right now (BF2/64 -> MJ3 -> Olive AC), and it's pretty good IMO.

I do listen on the quieter side (60-65dB), but even with a -11dB preamp setting for EQ, I'm hardly hitting 10:30 on the volume dial on the MJ3 for the AC, even with low gain + SE. Haven't really felt high gain or push-pull sound any different for the AC.I'm going to experiment with high gain and push-pull as well, but I expect low gain and SE to be the best option for the AC.
Happy New Year to ZMF and all my ZMF Buddies!
Happy listening and here's to another great year of enjoying that ZMF goodness!
