Features wanted in a Wiim Ultra 2

Hmm... you don't like the Mesh? I got the Multibit DAC with Unison USB and I love how they sound.

I was thinking of going to the Jotunheim 3 but maybe I should rethink it? Why don't you like it?

I mean, I could save a bit and then get the Yggdrasil Singular. For headphone amp... well, I do have a DIY Whammy (set for opamp rolling) and the Nitsch (with analog inputs) so I could use those for the headphones.

I'm reading into the Geshelli... thanks, interesting... but first, drivers coming in... shipping amp to get it fixed/updated. I think it overheated, we'll see.

Oh no, I absolutely love the Jotunheim 3 itself. It is easily the best head-amp I've owned; it destroys the L30 II I had prior (I did not yet own the Aeon 2s back when I had an L70 on hand). I did not understand just how good my Dan Clark Aeon 2 Noires could be until I got this amp. It's just Mesh that's a letdown; I much, MUCH preferred feeding Jot 3 from a Topping E50 II over the integrated Mesh card. I have a FiiO DM15 R2R coming in that I will try feeding the Jot 3 with to see how that goes.

The Nitsch has an upgraded analog circuit from the Jotunheim circuit. But it has the multibit DAC and unison USB as an option.

It runs about 750 bucks and it's only made in batches. I think he's about to release another batch. Have not seen any of them on the used market.

Technically, the Jot 3 will accept older DAC cards from the Jot 2, but I personally see no point in it for myself.

Anyhow--we are way, way off topic.
