    Official Schiit Vali 2 Thread

    I'm still having a blast with mine - my audio chain: Mac Mini ('18) >> USB >> Modi 3 >> Vali 2 I was using the optical in the headphone jack from my MBP '15, but the newer Macs lost that feature, however, the Modi 3 has pretty excellent USB implementation. The Vali 2 has a tube swapped from...

    OK, my current setup :) MBP >> Optical >> Modi 3 >> Vali 2 >> HD6XX [or] Edifier 1280s Vali is now sporting a 9-pin socket saver, and a matched EH 6922 :D I'm actually thinking about picking up a pair of Massdrop X Meze 99s, kind of got into a pattern, if I'm listening to cans, I want total...

    I'm really digging on mine :) I scored mine from their B-stock, full warranty (just no 15 day trial), potentially minor aesthetic issues but was basically new looking (plus the brushed aluminum could probably be easily corrected). It was $50 off, for $99, it's astoundingly fantastic...

    Nice, yeah, that would be a fun project, I'm a software engineer / super tinkerer - in fact, I have some speaker pins coming from Amazon tomorrow to make some good, specific sized speaker connection for my new desktop speakers (which sounds fantastic behind the Modi 3 + Vali 2). I'm currently...

    Official Schiit Vali 2 Thread

    OK, great thanks. I thought I read somewhere that the Vali using that cable-bracket wasn't quite aligned (sounds like the Magni and Vali ports are in the same position). Oh yeah, it was a review right from their site (see below), but the buyer qualified it might be due to their install, so...

    How well does the Intropose work with the Vali 2? I'm assuming you're using it to connect a Modi of some flavor - I thought I saw a comment somewhere that it didn't quite line up with a Vali like it does with a Magni. I'm specifically running a Vali 2 with a Modi 3 (not sure if the ports moved...
