Macklamore & Ryan Lewis - The Heist

Very cool! I love Tekzilla and I've wanted a pair of custom UE's for years now. Time to save my pennies.

I bought a D1 then added a Magni so I could run the D1's tube out into it. Last week I ordered a Modi and the D1 is going to be sold. That being said the D1 is great, Modi & Magni are so small they'll fit just about anywhere you want them. My plan is to use the M&M set up at home and eventually...

I love the rubber band trick! I will be trying that! Thanks for the comparison it was a great read!

Love my Magni and cannot wait for my Modi to arrive this week! Keep up the great work Schiit!   Is it a bad idea to run the DAC through a powered USB hub?

Some day Modi & Magni will be my at work set up, but for now they are my at home gear. I feel a bit funny about bringing gear to work to listen to music. Even though I do listen to music all day, but at least the Modi & Magni are relatively cheap if something should happen to them.

Should be getting my Modi next week and I can't wait! I've had my Magni for a few months and love it.

Very cool HolyCheese!

Last night I ordered my first external DAC/Headphone amp combo the Maverick D-1 with all the factory upgrades. Next I will probably add a dedicated headphone amp and then upgrade my headphones. Or maybe headphones first. I have the feeling I will be spending a lot of my money on audio gear in...

Is it worth the $44 to get the upgraded opamp and tube from Maverick? Especially if I have no interest at the moment in switching them out myself.

Sorry I should have put that in my post I will be using my Macbook Pro as the source listening to FLAC rips of CD's. And my headphones are Audio-Technica ATH-M50S.

I'm going to apologize for being the million person to ask this question, but I've been pouring over these forums for a week and I am more confused now than when I started. Anyway on to my question: I have about $300 to invest in my first DAC ( really a DAC/Headamp combo ) and I'm baffled by...
