Magni 3 Impressions
How does Magni 3 compare to Valhalla 2? I only have Valhalla 2 and I do want to try some solid state amp. I original would like to get a jot but I don't really need the balanced output. And now magni 3 which priced at $99 is really tempting.- cherrypepsi

Old RCA switch could potentially degrade the sound of both DACs. That may be the reason you couldn't hear much difference.- cherrypepsi

I am currently using valhalla 2 with bimby and moded HD650, an wonderful combo. My experience is that if you leave the valhalla 2 on for a long time, say a couple of days or longer. There will be some slight static/interference. Otherwise, it's pretty slience.- cherrypepsi

Valhalla 2 review coming soon!
I just got my Valhalla 2 yesterday. My setup is bimby ->Valhalla 2 -> hd650. This amp is very natural, smooth and a bit warm, noticeably better than my smsl amp. The only thing is that the clearity/resolution could be better. But still, can't complain at this price though. Solid value.- cherrypepsi

Would you say joy is a better pairing for 650 than Val 2? Especially for vocal. I am on the fence about getting jot or val2. Thank you!- cherrypepsi

Today I play music through USB input to Bifrost Multibit DAC as usual. However, I suddenly noticed some high frequency noise("zicizici" or distortion?) when play some parts in some songs. I don't know what's wrong. So I tried the same song using my onborad dac inside my laptop to play, there...- cherrypepsi

Official Schiit Vali 2 Thread
So even you use pre-amp outputs of both amps, there are still noticeable differences? I am using bimby that connects directly to power monitors right now. I am planning to get a pair of headphones and an amp. If I use Vali 2 as an headphone amp / pre-amp for speakers, will it make my...- cherrypepsi

Thanks for the reply! I only use speakers in my set up. I have Dynaudio bm compact mkiii powered monitors connect to my Modi 2 uber now. I guess the speakers can tell the differences between DACs even easier. Especially the studio monitors tend to have very little coloration. It should...- cherrypepsi

I have a modi 2 uber for around 3 month. It's a great sounding little dac. I have been looking for next steps above it recently. The Bifrost uber usb seems to be the first choice however I heard it only offers subtle improvement over modi 2 uber. I'm not sure if that worth 500$, so I...- cherrypepsi
