Recieved my A6t w/ m20 apex this week after much research (thank you reviewers). Connected them to Magni/Modi Gen1 Schiit stack, basically listening to them all day while WFH. They are pretty much spot on with reviews - smooth mids/highs, detailed (no sibilant highs), transparent, tight thumpy...

I have the MM stack at work, and I love it with my DT770 Pros 250ohm.  And I was going to get the Asgard2 / Bifrost stack for home to power my DT880 250ohm Pros.   Is it worth getting the Asgard2 / Bifrost stack if I'm only listening to 320kbps compressed lossy files on DT880 250ohm Pros...

Although Schiit says that shipping isn't until June of 2213, they were generous enough to send me a prototype of GLO for review.  After blowing out 5 of my high end headphones, I was finally able to get a good listen with an HD800 heavily modded with cinder-block drivers.  I'll post a review...

The MM Schiit stack finally arrived.  This is actually going to my office at work.  I plan on getting the Asgard2 / Bifrost for home use here.   Project logs here:  http://www.hardocp.com/news/2011/11/15/h_reader_upgrade_day      

Thanks Jason!   Can't wait to bring these to the office to power my DT 770s 250!   UPDATE 1: Okay, I just did a side-by-side comparison with the Asus Xonar Xense sound card on my PC, and the Schiit MM stack definitely sound better.  It's way more balanced, and everything is brought up in...

Quote: Yes!   It has arrived.  I know these are the 880s, but I plan on bringing these to my office where my DT770s are.    

Sorry in advance for hi-jacking this thread.   I have the 250 ohm version (it arrived two days ago).  I have the Schiit Magni/Modi stack being delivered to my office.  So in the mean time I am listening to it straight out of my Macbook Pro.   And it sounds *amazing*.  Even directly on my...

Thanks for the insight.   I just placed an order for the Magni / Modi combo this morning for my office desktop setup: MacbookPro -> Modi -> Magni -> DT 770 250ohm.   Can't wait to listen to them!

Is 24/96 the best sample rate playback for the following setup:   Macbook Pro Late 2011 Model (Spotify@320kbps) -> Modi -> Magni -> DT 770 Pro 250ohms?   Is there any difference in quality between USB vs SPDIF output from my Macbook Pro?

Mine just arrived today (250ohm Pro).   Plugged it into my Xonar Xense, factory op-amps, HiFi mode (disabled EQ/FlexBass), set gain to lowest setting, 2 channel.   Been playing my Spotify @320Kbps playlist for 2 hours now.   Mid and high edges are pronounced, doesn't sound flat at...

I was able to tell the difference here - http://www.eclassical.com/pages/24-bit-faq.html   I was listening with my Xonar Xense / PC-350 bundle (EQ'd with slight V curve).  The difference was definitely noticeable, but nothing that would annoy my listening experience.  But I totally get what...

Hi, I just ordered the Beyerdynamics DT 880 Pro 250ohm, and it's going to plug right into the Xonar Xense.   After break-in / burn-in and such, what is the proper way to test the subjective listening quality on the Xonar Xense for the purpose of listening to music (320Kbps lossy from...

I'm just starting to get into HiFi audio so hopefully I'll be adding more higher quality audio components to the setup.  In fact, I just ordered my first Beyerdynamics (DT880 Pro 250ohms).  Hopefully the Xonar Xense will drive them.  I do love my PC350s for both music and games, but I do have to...

Oops... I meant over-ear. sorry about that.  (edited post)

Hi, I'm in the market for good headphones + DAC / amp with about a $700-$800 total budget.   My source will mainly be from a Macbook Pro (late 2011) w/ lossy streaming @ 320 Kbps (Spotify).  I still want it to sound good with FLAC files.  I listen mostly to rock, jazz, classical, hip hop...
