Product Description
Mjolnir is the only dedicated headphone amp using an Circlotron-style topology with high-voltage JFET inputs and MOSFET outputs. Unlike other balanced headphone amps, Mjolnir is not simply two of the same amps in a box, with one run inverted. It's a unique, inherently balanced stage that delivers both low complexity and very high performance. "So what the heck does that mean in English?" You ask. Here it is: 8 times the output power, 8X lower distortion, and less noise than Asgard. Mjolnir is a super-powerful amp, but it's also quiet enough to be used with the most sensitive headphones. And, since it's all solid-state, it's set-and forget. No tubes to replace. No tube rolling. So, what's the catch? Only this: Mjolnir is ONLY a balanced amp. There are no single-ended outputs. Welcome to the wonders of cross-shunt push-pull topologies.

Features
- BALANCED CROSSFETTM HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER ZERO FEEDBACK | SINGLE VOLTAGE GAIN STAGE
- Mjolnir is the only dedicated headphone amp using an Circlotron-style topology with high-voltage JFET inputs and MOSFET outputs. Unlike other balanced headphone amps, Mjolnir is not simply two of the same amps in a box, with one run inverted. It's a unique, inherently balanced stage that delivers both low complexity and very high performance.
- No-Excuses, End-Game Balanced Amp You won't find any balanced-to-single-ended conversion or vice-versa in Mjolnir. It's balanced in and balanced out, with a 4-gang RK27 Alps volume pot--providing end-game performance for a mid-level price.
- High Power for Any Headphones High-gain amps can be noisy. This doesn't matter for low-efficiency orthodynamics, but if you have, say, Denons, it may not be ideal. Mjolnir delivers both 8W RMS per channel, and exceptionally low noise.
- Unique, Simple CrossfetTM topology Mjolnir is the only dedicated headphone amp using a Circlotron-style, or cross-shunt push-pull topology. This CrossfetTM topology allows us to use only N-channel MOSFETs, for better matching and lower distortion. It also significantly simplifies the output stage.
