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...- BigDaddyNC

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...- BigDaddyNC

*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.- BigDaddyNC

*Official Schiit Magni/Modi 2 ( Uber ) Thread*
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...- BigDaddyNC

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!- BigDaddyNC

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"...- BigDaddyNC

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.- BigDaddyNC

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...- BigDaddyNC

Schiit Fulla 2 Impressions Thread
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.- BigDaddyNC

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...- BigDaddyNC

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. ...- BigDaddyNC

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...- BigDaddyNC

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...- BigDaddyNC

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!- BigDaddyNC
