A review of the Schiit Audio Mjolnir 3 headphone amp and preamp including comparisons with the Aune S17 Pro, HiFiMan Prelude, fully upgraded Burson Soloist 3X GT 2023 version, and references to the Linear Tube Audio MZ3 and Enleum AMP-23R. Is this the best amp on the market right now? What about the best value?
