Good point. rolleyes.gif

 

Though there is that one guy that already has the amp with the HE-400, he said first impressions were pretty good.

As far as power goes, the Magni should be able to handle it without much fuss, right? It's just about whether it pairs well to your ears?

It's a very nice improvement. You'll actually experience bass :)

Also about the new Schiit talk. I have a Magni and HE400's in use as I type. I don't have much to compare it to, only the E9. Compared to the E9 it is definitely better with the HE400's in my opinion. Everything seems a bit more clear and the bass has a nicer punch to it. Not really sure how to describe it, but the mids seem less congested on the Magni than the E9 as well. Only have about 2 hours on the combo and have only side by side compared for a short while, but these are my early impressions. It's not a day and night different, but I do definitely hear a nice change :).

Would you recommend the combo?

I wondered how this new little schitt stack would compete against the e9 and others like the o2. Sounds like it might just be pretty good.

What about volume? Does it get enough to make you go deaf(don't actually test this)?

We really really need to lock this thread, so that people don't need to copy all the posts from the other thread, where there are already reviews of the HE400 with the Schiit Magni, etc. etc.

 

How does one contact a mod ?

Why lock the thread with more posts in it?

I know it was recently discussed, but the threads really do need to be merged. They are essentially parallels of each other, mostly mirroring the same topics. I gets confusing popping back and forth between them after a while.
