... It doesn't lack resolution or detail it just lacks any edge to the sound. ...
What's your source? I'm not hearing a lack of edge with my Akurate, balanced in. I listen mostly to acoustic music (symphony, jazz) and maybe those don't have the type of edge EDM etc have.

I use a windows pc, into a Yggy A2, balanced into MJ3, or whatever amp I would be comparing it to.
I'm an outlier myself, as I'm not a fan of Unison. I use the Holo Red and the resulting sound is quite excellent.

This is the second time I've heard this and I have Gen5 on my A1. I wonder if I should even bother with Unison. What didnt you like?

It's a bit brighter, edgier. I liked the darker grungier albeit at times less convincing presentation of the Gen5.

I also placed the order on Schiit Eu on January 22nd, but just today they told me that they will refund me because they don't know when the Mjolnir 3 will be available.
:triportsad::triportsad::triportsad:
Oh.. that's not good.
I wonder if that affects orders only through Schiit EU and straight orders from Schiit are still fine?

To add to the conversation about the bulging old blue 47microfarad capacitors in the first run.

I just got my MJ3 (First run, ordered morning of release date) back from repair of the funky gain switch, upon looking at it, I have one 10u black cap and one 47u blue cap. I'm not sure if they switched it out as well while it was there, but there's no mention of any work besides the gain switch on the repair invoice/sheet. Strange, but glad to see I now have the same cap layout as the second run it seems, besides the color of the 47 cap.

Quite hard to take a picture without opening the case:
