I’m glad to see the A1/GS having a moment again. I’ve enjoyed mine for over seven years. It remains one of the best DACs around. At this price, it’s an absolute steal.

If you own a MJ3, buy this now!

Truly insane that for $1699 + $699 you can have a TOTL DAC and amp. Get some modestly priced speakers and be done forever. My 2008 self is jealous.

I've slightly skimming in/out of the Yggdrasil thread since it has never been on my radar. This new unit pulls on the want rope. Will these be limited run, or will the new run of chips keep things going for a little. Always afraid of the day the SFD decides to skip town.

@RestoredSparda I definitely have a Bifrost USB 2.0 and maybe an Uber Analog board too clanging around in a drawer somewhere, also.

@M3NTAL They’re on a wait and see approach so far, but if it seems to be doing well in the initial run, MIB could be a permanent fixture, yeah.

Hel Plus slurred together sounds like Help-Us

@YMO I didn’t find Jot 2 or Lyr (3 at least) aggressive either. In fact most seem to agree Lyr is somewhat laid back. However If you tried the Lyr with a JJ tube, there is some harshness/hardness with that tube that I couldn’t deal with either. But vintage Raytheon tubes work great and gets me closest to the bloom from Vali 2 (never heard Vali 2+) with the improved clarity, refinement and other improvements.

@YMO hnnnmnnninggggggg

@HotRatSalad: see here re. Gungnir Multibit A2: https://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/schiit-mjolnir-3-impressions.13699/page-7#post-414878

I nominate Nitsch Audio handle 3rd and future runs.

@rlow... thanks for the info, but virtual dislike on the answer. I'm holding out for the Yggdrasil MIL-F and want to spread out the cost... so hoping the MIL-F is soon and the MJ3 lasts another month or so

Oh and these are definitely interesting things...

“I brought my vinylllllllllllllllllllllllllll…now gimme something to play it on man. Wooaahhhhh.” Actually, too bad I am not on the left coast. Can’t wait to hear about this.

Tube phono/head-amp combo with remote control?

Expect the craziness to accelerate, though.

I'd say you have already helped make audio interesting with very flexible topology components, the latest being Mjolnir 3. Yeah, this one has my attention and will serve as a great tool for the new measurements I've presented and others still in experimental state. Oh, and it sounds fabulous enough to capture my ears too.

Make a Vali2+ sounding bigger boy amp that isn’t going to deathstroke my head and we will talk. Enough of power!!!!!! Lyr pricing….

@roshambo123 apparently it’s a single run, so I’m assuming no??

How many Mjolnir 3 units for the limited run?

Jason confirmed on head-fi, there's no silver for MJ3

Awesome! Look forward to seeing you!

I've been waiting for something exactly like this. My poor poor credit card. Throw in a free syn with the first XXX purchases - I can pipe dream while I'm pipe holdin' Have a great meet!

@M3NTAL - same here. I keep looking around for anything and everything I can sell to come up with close to enough cash. MJ3 just ticks so many boxes for me.

I wish there were a version of this without the cd transport, just a Unison DDC Eitr 2 thingy.

I could have used the CD transport without the DDC, but I'll just consider it future-proofing. Now I have to decide whether to send my Gungnir back for the Unison upgrade or just continue to use SPDIF.

I would like a smaller unit, no cd tray. I think 2 usb inputs is a real nice to have, but If I had to I could live with 1. also as much as power supply of the original as possible.

'tis a wee bit bigger than small news!

In the light of Urd and Mjolnir 3, maybe comparatively. But it's very nice to have a desktop one-box multibit DAC option again!

I did not think Jot 1 was ever to be upgradeable, I have one with an original Multibit card sitting unused in a box here. Nice to see you doing things to keep older stuff current.

Sweet. Been waiting patiently for a long time. Thanks!

Will you have the Yggdrasil in the smaller chassis there? Been holding out buying it to see it in person. Can I give u cash for one there :)

Is it possible to estimate how far out/likely a transimpedance mc input phono is? I am definitely crazy enough to buy more of those...

What’s atoms?

Disc-based Atmos (that is, lossless TrueHD) or streaming-based Atmos (lossy DD+)?

Whoa. Can't wait for impressions.

You certainly werent kidding about releasing something crazy.

May want to fix this in FAQ "In the case of Modi+, we are using an Analog Devices SHARC DSP and a stereo Analog Devices AD5547 D/A converter."

I noticed that too @Abhishek Chowdhary . I thought “The Modi+ has a SHARC processor?!?”

I like the new buttons

Thanks for the 25% discount on a Lokius @schiit ! I have been interested in playing around with headphone EQ for a while, couldn't pass up this opportunity :)

Grateful for the Gungnir that I had been on the fence about getting.

Smashing deal on gungnir !
