How would you describe the Jotunheim 2 paired with XTC Open?

To add another question what are some of your favorite amp/dac pairings, combos $1K and under with XTC 2 opens?

Quick question! Has anyone paired the XTC 2 opens with the Jotunheim 2 amp? Mine doesn’t arrive until next week. My XTCs are tuned “warm but detailed” but wasn’t sure if the pairing would be bass overload or too warm? I could be overthinking it, I’m just curious either way

Great buyer, quick payment. Would do business again!

Yeah I get what you are saying. My main concern is if Jot 2 would power Tungsten.

I completely agree. However that’s not what I am even arguing against. I clearly outline what I was looking into buying (Jot 2 and Modius).

Thank you! 🙏

Lol. I specifically asked about Jot 2 and Modius. I don’t recall even asking about the Yggy. I prefer this hobby for me be a journey, not a dick measuring competition. Also at $1700 it’s still more than Tungstens ;)

Will do, thank you! Very well put!

I totally get it. Like I said I’m not mad, it’s just funny. I clearly lay out the options I was looking into. Jot 2 ($399) + Modius ($299) gives a clear picture of my budget and I’m immediately recommended a dac that is even more than the Tungstens. Sorry, that’s funny to me.

I won’t lie, this hobby makes me laugh at times. I ask for confirmation on a budget pairing for Tungsten and am immediately recommended a $2200+ dac 😂 I’m sorry, no hate intended, it’s just funny.

Appreciate that! Right now I am trying to get a foundation going and work my way upward. I’m planning on spending $1500+ for the Tungsten, which is why I asked if Jot2 and Modius would be a good “budget” starting point. I am still pretty early in my audiophile journey. Right now I have little...

Since the production time is so far away, I’m trying to plan out my setup for the eventual purchase of Tungsten. Would Jotunheim 2 & Modius DAC be a good “budget” option? I’ll be going single sided, I listen to primary metal and that sort of music. I love detail and clarity with some punch. SS...

DM sent!

When you say the Aune S9C Pro serves bright detailed headphones well, what do you mean by that? I am just curious. I currently am pairing the XTC 2 Open with it and have been enjoying it quite a bit. I have been looking at potentially getting a set of planar headphones but still looking into...
