I get people telling me I say dumb things all day.
I sold my Schiit Magni + Modi when I needed to make rent a month or two ago, which means I haven't used my Hifiman HE-400 since then. I'm now looking to get a new setup and I was thinking I'd go with something other than the little Schiits. I know the HE-400 has some treble issues on its own, but I found the Magni/Modi -- probably specifically the Modi -- exacerbated the situation, and also had lacking bass response. I've always heard great things about the Objective 2 and the ODAC, but I've never tried them.
Are they still a good buy? I'd be getting mine pre-built, I guess from JDS Labs? Are there other amps/DACs in the price range or cheaper (I'm poor) that perform well with the HE-400? Lastly, is there a practical reason to go with the RCA over the 3.5mm jacks on the O2+ODAC?
