From the Schiit website - "Power Consumption: 8W"

I contacted Schiit yesterday evening to get some help on how to connect the Vali to my audio system. They suggested that I plug the Vali into the Tape Out connect. After several minutes of untangling wires and cables, the Vali was finally connected to my amp.   I plugged in the headphones...

Well Mullins, the Analog connect is going to my amp's Tuner. I'm not sure if I'll be able to use the Vali. Now I am curious if I will be able to use the LD MK III.   If anyone has some ideas, they will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Mullins for your response. I will give that a try and see how the AKGs sound.

I bought a LD MK III last week, and I am waiting to get my tracking number. The tubes that will be coming are the 5654 driver tubes, and the 6H6PI power tubes. I will be using the stock tubes with the amp for a good while.   While I'm waiting, I have been looking to add some tubes. I have a...

I have a Vali but I have yet to use it. Problem is, I don't know how/where to connect the Vali to my system. Right now I have a McIntosh MA5100 for power and a Denon DNP-720AE network audio player for internet radio. Do I plug the Vali in my Mac, or does it plug into the Denon?   I received a...

You need to do your due diligence and research both. During this time, one will stand out and appeal to you. Once you check the reviews, you will know if you made the right choice. Once this is done, you are ready to purchase.   Good luck on your journey!

There is a couple videos on YT that says the Schiit Vali works well with the Q701. For $119 it doesn't get any better than this.

Ok, the Little Dot MK III is ordered. My plan is to use the stock tubes for awhile, but I would like to have some extras when I am ready to swap. According to the Little Dot website, there are driver tubes and power tubes. The driver tube will be the 5654 and the power tubes will be 6H6PI. I...

  This is the same as the Pelican boxes and cheaper. You can get them with/without the foam and they come in different sizes. This is the perfect solution for just about anything. Even watch guys use them for their watches.

So, it goes without saying that the higher the ohms will produce the best sound quality.   When speaking in terms of a headphone sensitivity, are the higher ohms considered to be low or high sensitivity?

  Would you please elaborate on the ohm rating and how it effects the quality of sound and sensitivity to the headphones?

I wish I had a nickel for every post I have seen that says, "I am not an audiophile..." I would venture to say that the majority of Head-Fi members are audiophiles.   Definition of Audiophile from Merriam-Webster - A person who is enthusiastic about high-fidelity sound reproduction; A hi-fi...

Thank you for your recommendation. I have considered either the DT880 or DT990 but not the 600 ohm. What's the difference between the 250 ohm and 600 ohm besides more ohms?
