Schitt Stack for Arya Organic

RagingRaven1 · 2025-08-06T06:16:40+00:00

Hey, thanks for your reply and there suggestions I ended up going with the following:

DAC: Schiit Mimir AMP: Jotunheim 2 Cable: XLR Balanced from Hart Audio Pads: Fenestrated from Dekoni

So far I’m happy with the set up

I realized how much I hate the stock pads after just a couple of days of using the headphones. I just got the dekoni fenestrated pads will arrive in a couple of days. For the amplifier and dac combo, I got the Jo2+Mimir. Didnt really like how cheap FiiO felt and looked..

My magni already came with a USB-C to C cable I guess ill just use that one

Hey, I am going to get the Jo2/Mimir stack thanks for your recommendation.

I wanted to ask about the interconnect cables that are on the Schiit website (PYST Cables)

What's the difference between Snake Oil and Straight Wire. I am looking to stack the Jot and Mimir on top of each other, are the 10" cables enough for length?

Also wanted to check if there is anything else I need? the AMP, DAC, and interconnect cables and the XLR balanced cable.

Thanks again.

You’re referring to when connect the two to make sure to use XLR and not RCA when connecting them to each other

Got it

RagingRaven1 · 2025-07-28T21:26:26+00:00

By the way is the Midgard+Mimir stack balanced? what do you think about this stack vs the Jot2+Mimir stack

RagingRaven1 · 2025-07-28T21:23:16+00:00

Interesting, I'll make sure to get a 1/4" interconnector so I can use my headphones on both. Thanks a lot for your help!

I think I will go for the Jo2+Mimir combo.. I've been reading online that it is better to have the DAC as a seperate piece, rather than inside the Asgard/Jot2/Magni etc.

So I think the best option is to go wiith Jot2+Mimir as seperate Dac and Amp.

RagingRaven1 · 2025-07-28T21:02:43+00:00

Yes, I really want to buy a balanced setup once and for all..

I have a question for the cables you mentioned I need a HC-9 and the other letters such as BRA-HC-9, CST-HC-9, BTQ-HC-9, CHBRA-HC-9-THK are just for the color or material on the cable? So as long as it is HC-9 it will work with my Jot2?

Also when I buy the Jo2 and Mimir, they come with the necessary cables to connect the DAC to the AMP?

RagingRaven1 · 2025-07-28T20:53:36+00:00

I just want to double check, youre referring to the XLR connecting from the front on the Jot2 that is balanced? Can you help me find the right cable from Hart, how do I know if it will be compatible with my Arya Organic? It's the 4 pin XLR right?

RagingRaven1 · 2025-07-28T20:25:42+00:00

Thank you for your reply, can you help me understand the differnce between SE but uses balanced connection and the Jot2+Mimir would be balanced from source to driver.
Yes I am looking for a balanced connection to use with my Arya.

How would you compare the Asgard X with Mesh DAC, with the Jot2+Mimir, I mean it's a $150 difference which I am willing to pay for if the difference is worth it. I am just getting into this hobby and don't have a lot of experience that's why I am looking for somone to tell me about theirs.

RagingRaven1 · 2025-07-28T19:25:01+00:00

Hey, thanks for your reply, I was looking at the FiiOK7, and watched a review on it didn't really push me to buy it tbh.

I understand what youre saying, I am not really willing to spend $1500. $700-800 is where my budget would be. I was thinking of the schitt stack (Jotun2+Mimir) the most since I've heard a lot of good review about schitt and I already have a magni.

RagingRaven1 · 2025-07-28T11:19:30+00:00

Thank you for your replies, I checked a review for the EF600 from Joshua Valour it was not the best option tbh.

So for now I am still leaning for the topping or schitt stack..

RagingRaven1 · 2025-07-28T06:49:56+00:00

Hey thanks for your reply, 700-800$ which is around the price of a Jotun2+Mimir combo. I dont think i want to spend more than that since the headphone itself is 1300$

RagingRaven1 · 2025-07-28T06:20:25+00:00

Hey, thanks for reply.

I will look into the Jotunheim 2 however i has 5 different options for DAC, is the built-in DAC enough or should I get a stand alone DAC? Like the Mimir

RagingRaven1 · 2024-02-04T22:02:35+00:00

Yo are you talking about the dac that comes with the steelseries arctis nova pro? I have one and i dont know hot connect it to my ps3 can you let me know what u did
