so I just watched / listened to Zâs review of the Jot 2, compared against the A3 and the Magnius. from it, the cool thing is that the Jot 2 doesnât disengage the headphones when you use the pre-out for your speakers. this is a good thing for those that want to use headphones but get the impact from a sub. 
Whatâs better Bifrost2 or Ares II?
There is a discussion about this in some of the Ares II thread if that helps.

Similar overall performance, so âbetterâ is based on preference. One thing to note is that both SE and balanced outputs can be used at the same time for the Bifrost 2, but not for the Ares II, in case you wanted to use both to go to different amps.

Whatâs your current ETA?
There is none. It just tells me the Jotunheim 2 is on rolling backorder. Site says up to 6 weeks for just the Jotunheim 2, however I ordered the Modius with it. The Modius ships now so Iâm just waiting on the Jot2 to be in stock.
Iâm fine waiting but still looking forward to the new gear.
Fingers crossed they donât run into Modius issues before your Jot2 is doneâŚ

Got my Jot 2 and Modius today! This is an upgrade from the Modi3 and Magni3 Heresy.
Very first impression on this new setup with balanced:
With my Clear MG Proâs I only need to set the volume to 9 oâclock. Anyone else experience with this setup? This is even on low gainâŚcrazy thatâs all I need to turn it up to, but I suppose a more efficient setup as well.
For schitts and giggles, my bitrate in windows 10 I set to 24/48. It set it to 32/48 but noticed the Modius is a 24/192 dac max. Donât even think that part even matters. I have windows also set to exclusive mode options as well. So far just listening on this setup to Amazon Music HD.
Needless to say I am impressed right away.

Very sleek setup!
I wasnât sure so I had to go look at mine, and sure enough, using XLR out, Iâve got my knob set just a hair above 9 oâclock.

Congrats on the new setup! I really dig the black colorway, looks great and makes for a good looking stack.
When running Low impedance High sensitivity headphones as the Clear MG pro (55 Ohms / 104 dB SPL) what you are experiencing with the volume pot range is normal. I rarely got my volume pot past the 9 oâclock position myself.
This is a matter of preference and what works best for your setup. I typically set Windows 10 to 24/192 for shared mode, for things like You tube videos and apps without options for setting exclusive modes, and then as you are doing, set other players that can to âExclusiveâ.
The Modius is a pretty great DAC, IMO the best in its class. The Unison USB is very nice and then having the option to run balanced out into your Jot 2 is an added bonus. The Schiit products synergize really well with each other.
Let the Music Play and Enjoy that Schiit! !!

Yep, ran this stack myself for a few months and it was the same for me with the Clear Mg. With some songs I could go to 10 or 11 on the pot on low gain, but it typically stayed between 8 and 9.

Still waiting on my order, april 29. Bf2 and jot.
Jots are shipping in just 1-3 days now, so I assume the Bifrost is whatâs holding yours back. Itâs a kickass amp though, well worth the wait.

Yep saw that. Unless itâs black 
Just cancelled my month old order for a Black 230VAC since Silver 230VAC is showing in stock. Bird in the hand etc.
e: added on their new ESS card for self-install. Will see if itâs any good.

Hey guys, I currently have the Jot2 with a multibit addon on order and because itâs taking forever I was wondering if I just be patient or would the Topping DX7 pro be a good replacement. I currently have a Schiit stack modi/magni 2 paired with sundaras, and I plan on upgrading to the Anandaâs in the next year or so.
Hi, I have a question for Jotunheim 2 users,
How is the volume knob set with Ananda, Clair or Sundar headphones, with a low gain setting ?
(I mean balanced output)
Iâm afraid if Ananda or Clair are too sensitive to this Amp
