Jotunheim R is much more of a bargain than we realized because it is a great amplifier for low impedance planar headphones also!
It doesn't have much wattage but is designed to push lots of current into ultra low impedance Raal SR1a (0.2 Ohms), and planar 'phones with low impedance benefit from the current.
Meze Empyrean is 100 dB/1 mW and 31.6 Ohms, so it doesn't need much amplification, but who knows the Jot R may push stout current into it to reveal some new abilities.
Jot R sounds fabulous with hard-to-drive Abyss 1266 Phi TC 88 dB/mW and 47 Ohms.
What one does need is 4-pin female XLR to 4-pin female XLR adapter with special pinout (Raal pinout is very different from usual).
