EU - Schiit Jot 2 - With 4490 DAC module - like new. Silver
Asking 450 euros - that’s more than 100 from new
Schiit has been run maybe 20 hrs. Sounds awesome, I just color matched my Black Bifrost setup with a black Jot 2.
So wasn’t there a Loki Mini, no “Plus,” that you introduced like 5 minutes ago?
Yep, if 5 minutes actually means “more than three years ago.” We decided it was time to make it even better—and keep the price the same, as we are wont to do. We brought out the original Loki Mini because we’re kinda contrarian. Tone controls have become virtually verboten over the last three decades in high-end audio. For those of you who remember some crappy tone control and EQ implementations, including dull, veiled, nasty-sounding knobs on the front of receivers and noisy, truly awful-sounding banks of 10 to 30 sliders (usually fixed in a death-grin), you know that there’s a good reason tone controls went away. But we decided to take a look at it and see what we could make with a single gain stage (rather than 10-30 op-amps in a row) and using passive LC (inductor-capacitor) filtering wherever possible. And we found that we could create an extremely transparent equalizer that allowed for some very nice control over tonal characteristics, without the downside of traditional tone controls or EQs. So we decided to make it and see if you find it interesting as well.
So how is this better than the original Loki Mini?
A number of ways. The biggest thing is a new gain stage with drivers before the output to increase linearity, as well as matched devices throughout. In addition, there’s a new power supply that dramatically reduces noise (already inaudible at like -100dB, but hey, let’s go nuts a bit, right? Plus some tweaks to get maximum THD down, even when you’re really tweaking the knobs.
Measurements are fine, but does this actually sound better?
Absolutely. Or at least we think so.
I’ve been sitting on a bunch of gear that I either don’t use enough or doesn’t match my taste anymore. So time to go “marie kondo” and say goodbye to all the things that don’t spark joy for me. Hopefully they do for you!

If I didn’t have my insurance payment eating my check…
Decided to make an ebay listing for the TA-10. Since we’ve already passed 2 months, going on 3, I figured it was time to try the next step.
Still willing to let it go for $170 to a forum member shipped in the continental US, if anyone decides they’re interested.
Really good price on the Celestee. If I didn’t already own a pair I’d be on it.
Updated post: cleaned up a few descriptions, and separated some items to sell separately that were previously grouped together (ie Asgard3 w/o DAC card now).
WTB ~4-5 ft single ended headphone cable for focal clear (2x3.5mm termination).
I am in EU, but should be no problem to send from other parts of the world.
Budget <100
Sold
PMd! 10 char
WTB BF2 Silver $550
I’ll bet you do, lol. They’re in really high demand right now with how backed up Schiit is production-wise, even used ones are selling pretty close to retail.
Pretty sure one just sold for that on head-fi a couple of days ago
It did, and it sold within minutes lol. Until Schiit can meet demand, I think you need to offer at least $650
There was also one on ebay that sold for $750 recently.
pro tip… if you guys are looking for used prices or at least recent listing use:
https://www.hifizero.com/index.php?q=Bifrost+2
doesn’t get all sources but is still a good proxy.
Would be interested in BF2, Ares II, Tor Audio DAC or Audio-GD R2R DACs in Europe, max 700 euros in EU
