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. Well, Jotunheim 2 does cost more if you add an optional module. Wow, tough audience. Yep, you can get it up to $499 or $599. But that also highlights the fact that it’s the only affordable, customizable, future-proof balanced headphone amp out there. So how come you guys are the only ones who can do this super duper value balanced amp? Because we make a lot of them. Because we make sure they are easy to make. Because we also make sure they are super reliable. That’s basically it. No magic. There are other balanced amps in Jotunheim 2’s price range. What about them? What about them? They use IC-based topologies, like our Magnius. And may we remind you that Magnius costs far less than these other affordable balanced amps, while (a) far outstripping them in potentiometer quality (using the 27mm Alps RK27114 versus their 9mm potentiometers), and (b) being designed and made right here in California. But they measure better than Jotunheim 2. So does Magnius. So if you’re going for measured performance versus cost, Magnius is the logical choice. Get a Magnius and save $200 over a Jotunheim 2. Done. I don’t get it—why would I want a Jotunheim 2 then? Because, like us, you think there is something to fully discrete designs. Or you want a product without a wall-wart. Or you drank the Schiit Kool-Aid and you just gotta have Nexus and Continuity. Or you want to add a module for a single-box desktop system. Or maybe you just got money to burn. It’s cool. You can buy one, the other, neither, or both, and we’ll be perfectly happy. So this is now a Nexus™ amp? Yes, it is. Like Ragnarok 2 and Jotunheim R, Jotunheim 2 is our unique, current-feedback, inherently differential, input/output agnostic topology using matched parts throughout. Wow that’s a lot of words. What do they mean? Fair enough. Let’s break it down: Unique: as far as we know, nobody else is using a topology like Nexus. It isn’t a circlotron, it isn’t supersymmetry, it offers two high-impedance input terminals, is inherently differential, offers single-ended output…but hell, that’s a lot of words too. Sorry about that. Current-feedback: as in, the feedback is taken to an inherently low-impedance node, which means the circuit is insanely fast and has very low noise. Inherently differential: feed it a balanced signal, it stays balanced. Feed it single-ended, and it emerges balanced, because it is a differential amplifier. There’s no conversion before or after the stage. Input/output agnostic: connect it to anything, and take anything out. Connect to balanced and use the single-ended outputs…that’s perfectly fine. SE to balanced…also fine. SE to SE and balanced to balanced…fine again. Matched parts throughout: Nexus requires obsessive parts matching. So instead of using any parts off the reel (which may vary up to 50-80%) the parts are either matched by the manufacturer to 10% in paired devices, or hand-matched by us to 1% for the input JFETs—literally the tightest matching on any audio device, at any price. My head still hurts, can you break this down into non-technologese? Unfortunately not much more, sorry. Basically, the thing to know is you can use any source, and connect to any headphone, powered monitor, or amp without nervosa. And this is also a Continuity™ amp? Close. Jotunheim 2 debuts Continuity S™, which is a simplified version of Continuity. Continuity S allows us to increase the linearity of our output stage, and also provides increased efficiency, to reduce distortion and higher output power. It is less focused on providing an exact transconductance splice to simulate Class A operation, and more focused on combatting transconductance droop… You’re going into that technologese again! Yes. Sorry about that. Let’s just say Continuity S reduces distortion and increases power output, but without requiring the higher standing bias of Continuity. Hence the better performance than the original Jotunheim, without massive heat. Ah, that’s a good point—how is this amp different than Jotunheim? It’s entirely different. Really the only common parts are the bottom chassis and the volume knob. Jotunheim 2 also takes the same modular cards as Jotunheim, Lyr 3, Asgard 3, and Ragnarok. Beyond that, however, literally everything is different. Can you upgrade Jotunheim to Jotunheim 2? Nope, sorry. It would require a new main board and a new top chassis—upgrading would literally cost more than buying new. Well, what about my original Jotunheim? Am I left behind? Absolutely not. You still have our full warranty, service, and support, and you can continue to upgrade via modular cards. Jotunheim continues to be future-proof. I see you can switch the preamp outputs on and off on Jotunheim 2. Yes. We added that feature because it was a common request. Now, you can control the output to your powered monitors (or speaker power amps) with a front-panel switch. Other than that, anything new? Other than being completely different, you mean? No. Jotunheim was a game-changer when it showed up, and it continued as the only fully discrete, truly differential balanced amp for almost 5 years after it was introduced. Jotunheim 2 is a thorough re-thinking of Jotunheim, but it should remain familiar to anyone who’s ever used a Jotunheim. How does it sound? Come on, you know we don’t talk about that. You tell us. Sigh. Okayfine. What’s the difference between the DAC modules? About $100. Sheesh. Smartasses. Besides that, what’s the difference between the DAC modules? Okay, we’ll be serious. You can choose one of two different DAC modules for Jotunheim: True Multibit™ DAC Module. This one uses Schiit’s unique time- and frequency-domain optimized DSP-based digital filter and deep multibit D/A converter architecture, with the AK5547 D/A converter. ES9028 DAC Module. This one uses an ESS ES9028Q2M D/A converter with our own Unison USB™digital input via a USB-C jack. Plan your cables accordingly on this one. And the phono card? It doesn’t play any digital at all, I’m afraid. Double sigh. I see you’re getting tired of these questions. So, when would I need the phono module? If you need a phono preamp for moving-magnet cartridges, the phono module provides a convenient, low-noise, high performance, passive equalized phono stage. Designed for use with the vast majority of moving-magnet cartridges, it turns Jotunheim 2 into a one-box phono headphone amp and preamp. But if I choose the phono module, I don’t get any digital inputs? Correct. Jotunheim 2 only takes one card at a time. If you want to add digital inputs as well as a phono card, Modius is an exceptionally high-performance, size-matched DAC for $199. Or if you want something in a smaller chassis, Modi is only $99. What’s Jotunheim in Norse mythology? It’s the land of the giants. Which we believe is very appropriate for this amp. But you tell us…

Im selling my very lightly used Schiit Jotunheim 2 balanced headphone amplifier with Schiits internal True Multibit DAC add-on card (Schiits latest model Multibit card). Original owner, very light use. For full details, see description below from Schiits web site, or follow the link to their site. Since this Jotunheim 2 has their best internal DAC card installed, it becomes an insanely good all-in-one desktop headphone DAC/amp system. Feed the DAC via USB from a computer or streamer, and plug in headphones to the single-ended or balanced headphone jack - Done! And sounds amazing. Note that the multibit card requires 5V power from the feeding USB device. This is no problem from computers and most streamers. I have run this almost exclusively from an iFi Zen Streams USB output. If you want to feed from an iPhone or iPad you will need the USB camera kit adapter from Apple with the power injector. I have done this successfully with my iPhone and iPad, although it was sensitive to the order in which things were powered/plugged. All original accessories are included - original shipping box, power cord, manual, and stickers!!

SE to balanced…also fine. SE to SE and balanced to balanced…fine again. Matched parts throughout: Nexus requires obsessive parts matching. So instead of using any parts off the reel (which may vary up to 50-80%) the parts are either matched by the manufacturer to 10% in paired devices, or hand-matched by us to 1% for the input JFETs—literally the tightest matching on any audio device, at any price. My head still hurts, can you break this down into non-technologese? Unfortunately not much more, sorry. Basically, the thing to know is you can use any source, and connect to any headphone, powered monitor, or amp without nervosa. And this is also a Continuity™ amp? Close. Jotunheim 2 debuts Continuity S™, which is a simplified version of Continuity. Continuity S allows us to increase the linearity of our output stage, and also provides increased efficiency, to reduce distortion and higher output power. It is less focused on providing an exact transconductance splice to simulate Class A operation, and more focused on combatting transconductance droop… You’re going into that technologese again! Yes. Sorry about that. Let’s just say Continuity S reduces distortion and increases power output, but without requiring the higher standing bias of Continuity. Hence the better performance than the original Jotunheim, without massive heat. Ah, that’s a good point—how is this amp different than Jotunheim? It’s entirely different. Really the only common parts are the bottom chassis and the volume knob. Jotunheim 2 also takes the same modular cards as Jotunheim, Lyr 3, Asgard 3, and Ragnarok. Beyond that, however, literally everything is different. Can you upgrade Jotunheim to Jotunheim 2? Nope, sorry. It would require a new main board and a new top chassis—upgrading would literally cost more than buying new. Well, what about my original Jotunheim? Am I left behind? Absolutely not. You still have our full warranty, service, and support, and you can continue to upgrade via modular cards. Jotunheim continues to be future-proof. I see you can switch the preamp outputs on and off on Jotunheim 2. Yes. We added that feature because it was a common request. Now, you can control the output to your powered monitors (or speaker power amps) with a front-panel switch. Other than that, anything new? Other than being completely different, you mean? No. Jotunheim was a game-changer when it showed up, and it continued as the only fully discrete, truly differential balanced amp for almost 5 years after it was introduced. Jotunheim 2 is a thorough re-thinking of Jotunheim, but it should remain familiar to anyone who’s ever used a Jotunheim. How does it sound? Come on, you know we don’t talk about that. You tell us. Sigh. Okayfine. What’s the difference between the DAC modules? About $100. Sheesh. Smartasses. Besides that, what’s the difference between the DAC modules? Okay, we’ll be serious. You can choose one of two different DAC modules for Jotunheim: True Multibit™ DAC Module. This one uses Schiit’s unique time- and frequency-domain optimized DSP-based digital filter and deep multibit D/A converter architecture, with the AK5547 D/A converter. ES9028 DAC Module. This one uses an ESS ES9028Q2M D/A converter with our own Unison USB™digital input via a USB-C jack. Plan your cables accordingly on this one. And the phono card? It doesn’t play any digital at all, I’m afraid. Double sigh. I see you’re getting tired of these questions. So, when would I need the phono module? If you need a phono preamp for moving-magnet cartridges, the phono module provides a convenient, low-noise, high performance, passive equalized phono stage. Designed for use with the vast majority of moving-magnet cartridges, it turns Jotunheim 2 into a one-box phono headphone amp and preamp. But if I choose the phono module, I don’t get any digital inputs? Correct. Jotunheim 2 only takes one card at a time. If you want to add digital inputs as well as a phono card, Modius is an exceptionally high-performance, size-matched DAC for $199. Or if you want something in a smaller chassis, Modi is only $99. What’s Jotunheim in Norse mythology? It’s the land of the giants. Which we believe is very appropriate for this amp. But you tell us…

Any additional notes, if deemed to add value to the listing, will be provided below. I am the original owner and bought these new from the Schiit Web site. I used it for about a year, then remodeled the room it was in and havent had a need for them since. Both the amp and DAC sound great and generate a well-balanced presentation with a good amount of punch. You can read all about it on the Schiit Web site and through various online reviews. The headphone amp can also be used as a preamp. Both the balanced and unbalanced inputs and outputs can be used at the same time, so its a versatile little box. Another note concerning the headphone amp is that it will drive pretty much any headphones currently in production.The headphone amp does not come with the optional DAC card. This should be obvious since I bought an external DAC, but just want to make sure this is understood since its an option offered through Schiit. You can still order the add-on through their site if you desire. These will be shipped in their original boxes and packaging.Interconnects (XLR Cables, RCA Cables, USB Cables) are NOT included.These components did not originally come with any type of interconnects and I am keeping the ones that I currently own for other applications. You will need to purchase these cables separately if you do not already own them. Take your pick on shipping service.
