GETTING STARTED

1. If you chose Jotunheim as an amplifier only 

(no DAC or phono card), simply:
a. Plug it in with the supplied power cord
b. Connect your inputs and outputs (sources, 

headphones, powered monitors, power amp, you 

know, whatcha got).
c. Turn on the amp, select the correct input, wait 

15-20 seconds for the relay protection to engage 

the output, and enjoy. 

 

2. If you chose Jotunheim with the optional DAC 

card, you’ll also need to connect your source to 

the DAC module. 
a. Use a high-quality, USB 2.0-rated cable of 2M 

or less in length. 
b. On some Windows machines, you may  

have to install drivers, which are available at 

schiit.com/drivers.

3. If you chose Jotunheim with the optional phono 

card, you’ll also need to connect your turntable. 
a. Using short, high-quality, well-shielded cables, 

connect the RCA outputs of your turntable to the 

RCA inputs on the Jotunheim.
b. Also connect the turntable ground to the ground 

post with a short, sturdy wire. 
c. Note that the phono preamp’s gain is fixed at 

42dB, input impedance is 47k, and load capacitance 

is 100pF. The Jotunheim’s phono card will work well 

with most moving magnet (MM) cartridges.

 

ABOUT UPGRADES

Additional cards for Jotunheim may be released 

in the future. When this happens, you can return 

the Jotunheim to us to have the card installed, or 

have it installed by a qualified electronic tech. If 

you’d like to be the first to know about  

upgrades as they become available, sign up  

on the SPAM link on our site.
