At US$250, this Schiit Jotunheim 2 is a genuine bargain compared to the obvious alternative at this price: a used Asgard 3 or a no-name solid-state amp that lacks balanced output. The listing price sits well below the 25th percentile of US$263 from our database of 15 recent comparable USD listings, where the median is US$270 and the 75th percentile is US$300. This is a strong deal, especially against the current retail price of US$399 for the amp-only version.
The Jotunheim 2 is well-regarded for its clean, powerful balanced topology delivering 6W into 32Ω, making it a top choice for high-impedance and low-sensitivity headphones. Its relay-switched gain settings and low output impedance (<0.1Ω) ensure precise control across most loads. At this price, even with unknown condition, the upside is massive: you’re getting a second-gen Schiit amp with modular flexibility (DAC/phono cards) at a fraction of new cost. If the unit is functional, this is a clear buying opportunity for any enthusiast.

Schiit Audio: Brand Overview
Schiit Audio is an American audio company founded in June 2010 by Jason Stoddard and Mike Moffat, two veteran engineers with deep roots in the high-fidelity industry. Based in California with manufacturing operations in Texas, the company emerged from a shared vision between its founders—who had reconnected after years in separate audio ventures—to democratize desktop hi-fi. The name itself, deliberately provocative, reflects Stoddard's irreverent approach to a traditionally buttoned-up market, born from his wife's exasperated suggestion during late-night garage sessions.
The company specializes in personal audio components, with a product portfolio spanning digital-to-analog converters (DACs), headphone amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated amplifier-DAC combinations. Schiit's first product, the Asgard headphone amplifier, launched in 2010, followed by the Bifrost DAC in 2011. The lineup ranges from entry-level pieces starting around $99 to premium offerings exceeding $2,000, with the company positioning itself as a leader in direct-to-consumer audio sales.
Schiit occupies a distinctive position as an accessible yet credible player in the audiophile market. Rather than pursuing ultra-premium positioning, the company has built its reputation on delivering genuine sonic performance at consumer-friendly prices—a philosophy its founders describe as trying to "out-cheap" each other. This strategy has resonated strongly; the company has grown substantially since inception, operating from a dedicated 15,000-square-foot facility and maintaining a reputation for transparency, quality engineering, and genuine engagement with the audio enthusiast community.
