That's why I wish more headphone amps offer volume balance control for folks with slight imbalance hearing like myself. But for now, I adjust the balance with my source music app.

Yea i do the same with Roon, but as you said it’s a feature that should be implemented more often. Digital is getting better but such changes always sound better at the analog stage.

Yea 18k is where i tap out at, strangely i've been hearing a tad bit better in one ear than the other...that cant be good lol sometimes it bugs me sometimes it doesnt. I may have to see and ENT specialist about possible wax deep in the canal, if thats not the problem i may have to look into an amp with some balance control at some point. Hows your balance slack? dead center at all times?

yeah dead center thank God i'd probably lose my mind. Amps should have the ability to adjust that for folks with uneven hearing.

Wrote an update to my impressions of Starry Night powered by MJ3 on the SJY Audio thread. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/sjy...lanar-magnetic-headphone.965413/post-18127498

Your review and a bit of research leaves me wondering: Starry Night <- MJ3 as Pre / Vidar as Power

Lol, that would certainly outperform my Gjallarhorn mono blocks. Yeah, Starry Night is similar to a speaker load, so I can't see how that wouldn't sound good. You won't have much play with the volume pot though.

I have the Mjolnir 3 now several days. What an amp, really love it.
Really like the different adjustment options (feedback etc.) and it noticeably changes the sound on headphones and with the pre-outs.

Anyone using MJ3 to drive ZMF Atriums? Wondering how much the mis-match between amp output impedance (0.25 ohms) and the 300 ohm impedance of the Atriums affects the SQ? Or no worries?

What amplifier are you comparing, what DAC, headphones?

 

[commtrd]

Schiit Yggdrasil MiB DAC, Schiit Mjolnir 3, Meze Elite headphones with the thicker alcantara angled pads.

Sounds excellent to me with Atrium (paired with Yiggy A2). Bass slams like a truck with excellent extension and control. Pretty nicely sized headstage and depth as well, even compared to my DNA Stratus.

Got my Mj3 from Schiit EU on Friday.
As excellent as it sounds it's transformers buzzes like hell. Has anyone found any solution for this issue? DC blocker came across few times

Unfortunately I think that is just one of quirks of the amp. Mine vibrates slightly due to it. How loud is it? I only hear mine when i put my ear near the unit.

Clean power/DC blocker/mains conditioner can mitigate the buzz, but it won't go away completely.

I can hear it all over my living room if there are no other noises. It sounds like fridge that has low noise grade.

I fee like this is going to be my next headphone amp. Just got to make some funds available first. Also being able to find one on the used market for less than new wouldn't hurt either.
