Schiit Jotunheim 2 Headphone Amplifier Moved to a smaller DAC/Amp combo unit. Comes with original box. Condition: Very Good Payment Method: Paypal, EFT, Cash on Pickup Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By koream 0 Comments AUD $499 Date: December 14, 2025Dec 14
At A$499, this sits above the A$452 75th percentile of the recent AUD comps, so it reads as ambitious rather than fair-value against the current used market. With the median at A$387 and the 25th percentile at A$373, you’re paying a noticeable premium here, so I’d only lean in if the condition, photos, and extras are genuinely stronger than average.
That said, the Jotunheim 2 is well regarded because it’s a muscular, no-nonsense desktop amp that gives you plenty of drive, good control, and the sort of clean, punchy presentation that suits a wide range of headphones. If this unit is genuinely very good, with a tidy exterior and complete included accessories, the upside is convenience and a known-good owner’s item rather than a bargain hunt; I’d still try to negotiate unless it’s especially clean or bundled well.
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.
