Description: This unit is open box, but has only been powered on a handful of times. There are no scratches on the metal, and to ensure its safe unharmed delivery, it will be shipped in heavy amounts of bubble wrap, and a durable box. Buy it now price is $399, so you essentially get the $100 factory upgraded DAC module for free. Product Description:The Jotunheim – “YO-tun-hame”, the land of the giants in Norse mythology – is Schiit’s headphone amplifier: single-ended and balanced outputs front AND back, the Jotunheim also does double-duty as a pre-amplifier to drive a power amplifier or pair of powered loudspeakers. However, I’d wager most will want it for its headphone drive. 32 Ohm headphones will be greeted with 5 watts. 600 Ohm cans get a kick up the rear from half a watt. Those numbers relate to the balanced 4-pin XLR front panel socket. From the neighbouring single-ended 6.4mm hole, output power registers as 1.5W into 32 Ohms, 0.175W into 600 Ohms.Jotunheim is modular. This unit includes the optional, factory-fitted balanced DAC for an extra $100 on top of the base unit’s $399 price. A side-mounting that sees each module face away from the amplifier circuit limits its exposure to electrical noise disturbance, especially critical for a DAC’s more noise-sensitive circuitry.Going a little deeper, the DAC module implements a pair of AK4490 chips in “hardware-balanced configuration, with a passive-filtered output stage and asynchronous USB Gen 2 input.” PCM sample rate-compatibility tops out at 192kHz.
