I have a Schiit Vali and Modi on the way and will be connecting these to my MacBook Pro. I have used upgraded cables on other systems, but I don't know much about USB technology as it relates to audio.   1. Is there any sound benefit to using an upgraded, yet cheap USB cable? (must be < $75)...

A total noob here ;) Does anyone use Schiit Vali w/ Beyerdynamic DT880 250? I'd like to buy Vali so I can drive my DT880. If you currently have this combination can you share your thoughts/impressions? Thank you in advance.

tube amp vs solid state amp    which is better for movies and mainstream music i do not listen to classical or jazz    looking for an amp in price range of about $120.00    thanks

What is better? I am currently running the DT 990-250, but I am looking to upgrade to HD 650/600, HE-400/500 or LCD-2. (leaning towards HE-400 or HE-500).   I would purchase the dac that matches the amp e.g. Schiit i'll get the modi, O2 i'll get the odac. Price is not a concern. I am using the...

I just ordered the Beyerdynamic dt 880 250ohm and looking for a good amp to go with it. Was set on getting the O2 but then came across the Schiit Vali. Seems like this night be a good option and can even be used if I upgrade my phones at some point. Any thoughts?

Hi all--   Over the past few years researching headphones, amplifiers, and audio equipment in general, I've developed a couple of curiosities about headphone amplifiers. While I understand that certain combinations of headphone and amp go well together, it's often hard to figure out the...

Basically what do you guys think is th better choice aside from the fact that Astros are $100 more than trittons. People with experience please help Sent from my LGMS500 using Tapatalk

I've been enjoying my Grado SR-125's driven by a Project Head Box II amp for about five years now.  A really nice musical combination for small ensemble acoustic jazz and blues.  I've been reading a lot of good things about the Schiit Vali, and how well it gets along with Grado headphones.  Any...

Hi, I'm in research for a new DAC. I'm thinking about getting Schiit Bifrost (Uber+USB) or Audio-gd NFB-2 (2014). Would be nice if someone who has some experience with either or even both could share their impressions. I have Schiit Vali and Darkvoice 336SE as my amps. My headphones are Senn...

I am just curious. My Shiit Modi / Vali is arriving today and I'll be using it with HD598 and soon maybe with HD650 ... I know that just like many rave about high end $2,000 amps, same amount of rave you can see for cheap stuff simply because that's what people can afford and don't know any...
