    Schiit Fulla 2 Impressions Thread

    I have noticed popping when I have my Fulla 2 connected to my computer. When it's connected to my phone there is no popping. I just wish I could listen to my HD-600's more at work, but they disturb my co-workers. I have also noticed that the pot has become a little noisy when I change the...

    Meze 99 Neo Discussion + Impressions Thread

    I like my V1 Momentums a lot. I wish I could listen to my HD 600's at work more, but the open design bothers my co-workers too much. Even though the Momentums don't sound quite as good as the 600's they are still very good -- I sometimes even prefer them for rock. The other key thing at work...

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

    Had a post detailing some wiring options as described above, but wasn't having much success (having a challenging day so far), so replacing that message with this. Apologies for the spam.

    No, the stack does NOT eliminate the need for a powered USB hub (or some sort of "power solution" for the iPhone/iPod). The iPhone/iPod still "thinks" it has to supply USB voltage and therefore needs some sort of power. You will need an Apple Camera adapter with pretty much any Schiit solution...

    Best Under $350 Studio Monitor Headphones?

    +1 on the MDR-7506 for studio monitoring. They've been around so long for a reason -- I've had mine since the early 90's. Pretty much anything suggested so far would work for you. Good luck!

    Sennheiser HD 600 Impressions Thread

      Nah, LugBug1 is from the UK..."Cracking" is BritSpeak for "really good" and other similar adjectives. Now it could be a double entendre... Another case of folks from the USA and UK: "Two peoples separated by a common language"...

      And a few more shots...Daddy Digs Portable.   FYI, the phone is resting on a depleted practice round for the chain gun on a AH-64 Apache.  It was given to me by a young warrant officer in the Nat'l Guard who sold me a great Stratocaster for my son to learn how to play guitar.

    Not the most portable, but fits in my headphone case quite easily for deployment at work or home.  The Schiit Fulla 2 is rubber-banded to an Anker 13000mAh portable charger that powers both the Fulla 2 and the iPhone 7, so I can listen to my HD600's all day at work without depleting my phone...

    No wall wart is included.  All you need is a phone charger or any other USB power source plugged into the power port.  I use one of those Anker portable battery/chargers when I am away from my computer.    There should be no difference in quality.

    Schiit Fulla 2 Impressions Thread

    @MarkArtz - Apologies if I offended -- it was not intended.   I was merely referring to the phenomenon where negative opinions/reviews are often quickly shared while those who are satisfied often remain quiet and content, and the resulting "balance" tends toward the negative.   Whatever you...

    Schiit Fulla 2 Impressions Thread

      Please allow me to attempt a bit of balance here...   Folks, please don't succumb solely to the words of a potentially "noisy minority".  Many Fulla 2 owners have units with pots that aren't scratchy and work exactly as advertised -- your typical "silent majority" of satisfied owners.    ...

    Anything happening in North or South Carolina?

    To revive this thread:   I am in the RDU area and am very open to a meet.  I seem to remember reading that some locals gathered in Wake Forest (10-15 minutes from my humble abode) a short time ago.   Might have some challenges convincing the Chief of Staff that a remote meet is possible, but...

    He's probably doing something like this: Underneath the Fulla 2 is a portable charger/battery plugged into the power port of the Fulla 2...

    Schiit Fulla 2 Impressions Thread

      A good point, but I'd rather have the power used by any LED's used to make things Sound Better.      You have the right perspective, though:  "given the performance and features of the Fulla 2 at $99...".  This thing rocks for the price -- very high bang to buck ratio!
