Dragon2020Whichever your preference is, the jot is twice as powerful @ 300 ohms but 450 mw for the S7 isn’t quiet at all.

Dragon2020This amp is one class higher than the schiitty Jotenheim, it's a giant killer in chi-fi community and scales really high.

zhouharveyWhat makes this a class higher than the Jotunheim?

Feb 7, 2018

SneakyMOBAMaybe two classes higher. This amp targets the Cayin iHA-6 as its competitor.

SneakyMOBAJotunheim, in any way won't beat this S7. Just take my word on this.

Dragon2020I've won a Jotunheim from a raffle and have heard the Aune (not owned,) but I preferred the Aune. However, this may be affected because the Aune was then connected to a dedicated DAC, which I don't quite remember what it was.
Now, if you're looking for a DAC/Amp combination set, the Jotunheim is probably the better deal for the buck. As a reference, I've sold the Jotunheim in 2 months because I preferred the Audio-GD NFB 28 to it (I still own it.)

suncrusher195Is it the Aune S7? I thought there aren't too many S7 amps here in the US.

zhouharveyare there specific things that make it better than the Jotunheim? I have Heard good things about both amps, and still don’t understand how the Aune is that much better.

SneakyMOBAMost specific thing about the s7 is it's design is same as a Titans Armetis which was highly praised by its incredible neutral sound. I believe this amp won't be shy if it's msrp was 1000 dollars, yet it comes at 599.

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?

I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup

Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?

Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here

Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
