I have to say that everyone has their own taste in music, and it’s important for me to emphasize that. The most important thing is to go and listen for yourself. I owned the Nano for a

The headphone amps I had before the Jotunheim 3 were: iFi Zen Can, iFi xDSD Gryphon, the Schiit Vali 3, and recently the Fiio K13 R2R. I thought the J3 would be a modest upgrade to the Zen Can.
