I wouldn't say that's true, but it is my concern. I'd buy a piggyback cable just in case. They're very cheap, and the convenience is there if the quality is near identical.

Do you have a cable brand/model to suggest? Maybe I'll try one myself.

I don't, but I don't believe in cable voodoo.

I'd just pick one that looks sturdy enough...

That looks fine.

Jason and Mike are the Schiit. I wish I I could order a Magni right now but I have to buy Christmas gifts for other members of my household........dammit. I'm also torn between purchasing a Modi first because I do have other Headphone Amps I can use. Or replacing my long-in-the-tooth Rega Ear Amp, I sure would like to buy a fully discrete Magni as a replacement. Oh well, I'll probably have to wait to make a decision on this next month anyway. I hope all Head-Fier's have a wonderful Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Happy Listening.

YESSSS!!!!!!!! Picking one up asap! Can anyone think of a battery to use with the Magni? I'd like this to be purely portable, but If I need a wallwart that's fine too.

Ah, you're probably right. Oh bother, it will still work well at my desk. :)

This is very interesting. Subscribed. I wonder how this duo would pair with DT990 ~ 600Ω from beyerdynamic. Jason , can you comment on this? If it turns out great, I wouldn't mind upgrading to this at all!

I think it would have been better for both to have the option of running from a $99 linear PSU with 3 outputs, then launching a $99 tripath/TI/whatever for speakers. smily_headphones1.gif
