Schiit Mjolnir 3 - Impressions Thread

Considering this amp for my upgrade. Think it would pair well with my Atticus and LCD-3? And how well will my Topping DX7Pro work as a DAC for this? Will it be "enough" or feel underwhelming? :D

Finally got a reply MJ3 is going home again. :disappointed:
That sucks, but atleast it’s getting fixed up. Hopefully it will be the last time it has to go back. I’m curious what they had to say about the caps failing.

Schitt EU did a great job and I want to share my happiness with U here, on Tuesday my order shipped out and 2 days later MJ3 has arrived :) First impressions are fantastic. No coloration of sound, natural and punchy bass. In comparison to my custom OTL valve headamp, more details and clarity, never bright on the balanced output. I have listened to Focal Utopia through Chord Hugo MScaler +TT2, powered by batteries and marvelous Hegel P30 preamp. Starting burn in period for 4 days of continuous playing at a modest volume level. Each switch in it's lower position for now. Let's see later how it all goes as I am off in the mountains for Easter 🐣.

I have to disagree. My Periapt cable sounds veiled compared to the Appos Flow on HE1000v2 Stealth. YMMV I guess
Hey, came back to say you were absolutely right about the flow cable, my periapt cable certainly doesnt have the nice sheen that the flow cable has, holography also. Really good call by you, impressive lol the flow cable definitely settled in nicely after a few days of listening, so i take my remarks back, apos flow > periapt lol sad thing is that this little experiment is dragging further into the cable mess, now looking forward to finding a good forza noir hybrid in the used market as i would dread paying 300 bucks for a cable lol

I had to skip ahead to Norne and be done with it. $250 - $450 range of cables. The cheap cables are decent, dont get me wrong, i was just obsessing with it. Decided to go bigger and be finished.
This one was $429, and it's ~ 40% silver content made with 3 types of cabling. Pure OCC copper, pure silver intertwined with pure copper (candy cane), and silver/copper alloy.
Unbeatable value as this dude is 17awg.

IMHO it sounds great with both Audeze and ZMF headphones
Starting to think this will indeed be my next purchase. Thanks!
