# Schiit Audio Jotunheim 2 – Buyer Notes
The Ask
At AUD 250, this is a genuine bargain. Based on recent comparable listings in the secondary market, used Jotunheim 2 units typically sit between AUD 315–463, with a median around AUD 374. You're looking at roughly 33% below the median asking price here, which is notable for a desktop headphone amp that holds value reasonably well. If the unit is fully functional and complete, this qualifies as a strong buy for someone seeking a capable balanced-output amp without the premium pricing.
What to Verify
Before committing, confirm the amp powers on cleanly with no crackling or channel imbalance through both SE and XLR outputs. Ask whether the original power supply and all interconnect cables are included—replacements aren't cheap, and third-party PSUs can degrade sound quality. Also establish the unit's age and service history; the Jotunheim 2 is robust, but if it's been heavily used or shows signs of thermal stress (discoloration around the case), factor in potential capacitor aging or repair costs down the line.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
