    *Official Schiit Magni/Modi 2 ( Uber ) Thread*

    Because my Magni switch was scratched, they're willing to take it back for me, although they said they couldn't do anything about the mismatched finishes, which is quite annoying. If the finish is still pretty off, I might just send it back and pay the restocking fee. I don't think them being...

    *Official Schiit Magni/Modi 2 ( Uber ) Thread*

    Sorry, I wasn't suggesting the sizes are different. If they are, it seems negligible to me. My Magni though does have a more yellowed tint to it than my modi which seems noticeably more neutral. The brushed finish is visibly and physically smoother on the Modi than it is on the Magni as well...

    *Official Schiit Magni/Modi 2 ( Uber ) Thread*

    I just received a pair of of the uber models, and while it sounds great through my mac mini, I'm getting bothered by the fact that the finish of the cases don't match. Anyone else have that? I know can be a little obsessive compulsive, but it's getting to me, probably as much if not more than...

    *Official Schiit Magni/Modi 2 ( Uber ) Thread*

    So I just found out about the Uber stack and now plan on ordering one within the next week or so. Have any of you who already own the Uber stack noticed any difference between using the various inputs? I'm curious if the toslink connection is any different than the USB, because my Mac Mini's...

    Make the change—with one tiny wire.FiiO Headphone cable- RC-X will be in the market

    Hey guys, they sent me a replacement cable, rather quick I might add, which came with updated strain relief. You can see in the image where my old one broke through heavy use.     Hopefully this works out, as I think I only had my last one for a few months before those wires snapped.

    Make the change—with one tiny wire.FiiO Headphone cable- RC-X will be in the market

    ^That makes sense. My pair had been fine for a while after getting a replacement pair from Shure. Unfortunately, one of my cables snapped near the jack last week. Thankfully it still works, but having that piece of wire jutting out is a little annoying and I've been way too busy to go through...

    Make the change—with one tiny wire.FiiO Headphone cable- RC-X will be in the market

    I mentioned that the insulation looks like it had been cut as well my audio cutting in and out, and I haven't been the first one to bring those things up. The sockets themselves also seem pretty loose compared to the stock ones. I don't think I'm going to get ask for a new pair and hope that I...

    Make the change—with one tiny wire.FiiO Headphone cable- RC-X will be in the market

    I got my pair in and I actually think they've helped my SE215s a bit. It's not a night and day difference, but the bass isn't as bloated as before, and I'm getting a bit more detail and instrument separation that I was missing from my SR325s. The microphonics are only really bad when the music...

    Make the change—with one tiny wire.FiiO Headphone cable- RC-X will be in the market

    So is the microphonics on these, particularly the Shure model, pretty bad? I'm interested in the shorter cable and how it could change the sound of my SE215s, but at one third the price of the headphones, I don't know if dealing with microphonics is better than rolling up the end of the cable as...

    Help with recabling and stress relief

    Hey folks, so not too long ago I had reterminated my Grado SR325s with a 1/8 Neutrik plug so I could just play it out of my phone while doing chores around my apartment(like washing dishes, ironing, etc). Eventually the cable began to to cut out around where the gravity bent the cable near the...

    Grado Fan Club!

    ^During what part of the song do you hear it? Coincidentally that's one of the test songs I used when I got my SR325s in the mail yesterday and I didn't hear any buzzing in it then or as I'm listening to it now. FWIW, I'm 99% sure I got mine from Amazon and I'm listening to it straight from my...

    Backpack-Fi

    Brandon/cyberspyder sucks :P I'm still waiting on the late restock of black litespeeds. I was considering getting the TAD dispatch, but I hate how messengers fit when I ride my bike(ironic right) or run. I haven't tried the new Timbuk2s with the different strap, but I should. Also the dispatch...

    Camera Dilemma: DSLR vs P&S

      The term point and shoot is offensive. They prefer to be called compact cameras :P   But really, I highly recommend the S90(this coming from a former Ricoh fanboy). Unless I'm getting paid, I wouldn't consider using SLRs again. Seriously.   Most of my pics from 2010 are with an S90...

    My dressier watch, and my watch for everything else. Still need to paint the G on my watch illumination button though.
