Maverick Audio DAC/Amp
Can't comment on which is better but I was deciding the same thing before I bought the Maverick Audio D1 Plus. Ultimately decided on the Mav Audio due to its input options as well as esthetic finish. To me, the Maverick Audio just looks more professional albeit "entry level" DAC. I bought...- tranv117

Maverick Audio DAC/Amp
Sold my Schiit M&M Stack to pick up the Maverick D1 Plus and so far I have absolutely zero regret! When I had the Schiit Stack, my music sounded flat and very "directed." Now with the D1+, music became so much more spacious! Very wide soundstage and I'm loving it. Only complaint so far is...- tranv117

Schiit Modi and Magni comparison to Bifrost and Asgard
The magni is my first real headphone amp and I have to say, so far I love it! I've dabbled before in DACs but never an amp and boy what a difference it makes.- tranv117

This Schiit is Bananas! $99 Schiit Magni Amp and $99 Modi DAC
Question about the Magni. I've been using it with an AKG K550 with no noise whatsoever. I believe it's rated at 50ohms. But when I switch to my Sony 7506, which I believe has higher ohms specs, there's a ton of noise at low level volume as well as popping sounds at higher volumes. The same...- tranv117

This Schiit is Bananas! $99 Schiit Magni Amp and $99 Modi DAC
I swear I read somewhere that this Schiit Modi can just be left on? Am I right about this? I have my Modi right now connected via USB to my Apple Thunderbolt Display. It's literally on 24/7 even if I disconnect my Mac Pro. Will this diminish the lifespan of the Modi or should I unplug the...- tranv117

This fixed my problem. Plugged the wall wart directly to my electrical outlet as opposed to using a power strip.- tranv117

This Schiit is Bananas! $99 Schiit Magni Amp and $99 Modi DAC
Just received my M&M stack. Initial impressions after opening the box was that they're very "cute" :). Looks great and they're tiny! The Magni puts out gobs of power, but its quite a noisy amp. A lot of background hum/hiss when volume is turned down or no music is playing. I'm not an...- tranv117
