Description
Schiit Jotunheim in Silver - with the $249 True MultiBit DAC card! Original MSRP with DAC - $599 Pairings* This amp works best in Balanced mode, which further lowers the noise floor and gives an even blacker background (blackground). * The amp sounds fantastic with Sennheiser HD6XX (HD600, HD650, and HD800 even), and I highly recommend swapping the stock cable for a balanced XLR cable to get another small bump in sound quality.* You can also use this amp as a preamp, it has RCA and XLR stereo outputs on the back - Blue True MultiBit DAC* The MultiBit DAC uses a custom DSP-based filter, so the filter sounds really good. (Schiit Comboburrito Time- and Frequency-domain Optimized DSP filter)* USB Input Receiver: C-Media CM6631A MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS & copy So this “best $2400 amp for $400” is a bit of hype, isn’t it?Hmm, well, you look some of the big-dollar amps and let us know. I’d prefer a less smartass answer, please.Gotcha. But please have a look at what’s available that is (a) really truly balanced, (b) fully discrete, (c) using parts like Alps RK27114 “Blue Velvet” potentiometers (d) has a 100% internal, 100% linear power supply, (e) has insane attention paid to parts quality, including using matched parts throughout—in the input, voltage gain, and output stages, (f) provides tons of power for hard-to-drive headphones AND is super-quiet for the most sensitive IEMs. We think you’ll find there isn’t much out there.

Less than 20 hours on this amp! My loss is your gain! Includes original box.
