I am not really impressed with the Filo   E17+E09K Combo they sounded too bright to me. So if the  Modi+Magni is anything like Schitts other products it will be great by comparison.

New to this hobby and looking to get this as my first amp. My source is an iPad 3rd generation. How do I connect the iPad to the magni?

 
In the most basic form, you would use a cable like this from the iPad's headphone jack to the back of the Magni.

Modi/Magni shipment pending still =[[


Mine too. I'm hoping that Jason and company will be able to pull off getting things on our doorsteps before Christmas. It helps that I'm right next door to California... :D

You would connect using a LOD or an interconnect from the Headphone Out.

Thanks for the help guys. So is the cable in the link below another way to connect them aside from the one shown above?

That cable will sound better. There will be a different performance boost, depending on the generation of ipod you have.

Still waiting on O2/ODAC vs Modi/Magni comparison.
I think I might need to start offering a god damn reward for this comparison. $5000 worth in sexual favors from me, guys?

Compoopers. What are you doing. Comppoers. Stahp.  It's ok man, the world won't fall apart unless you're debating on whether or not to return phones within the window of purchase (me)

. but really, I'd think that it'd be some time before you'll get your comparison b/c these guys a relatively new, and then you stack on top of that someone who has both setups. I'ts ok, we understand you, but patience is a virtue as the saying goes.

I've been comparing the objective combo vs the schiit stack for the past couple hours using he-400.  They're very near each other in performance.  I'd get the schiit stack because it's cheaper and looks better.
