I see what you mean. Either way that's pretty screwed up. Whether it's the £110 headphones or the £250 dac/amp. And I have no way to test which is to blame without spending £££. For now I'll just stick to using those headphones by connecting them to the monitors. It bugs me a bit that I can't...

If Schiit wasn't colouring the sound then the vocals should sound good. But it sounds awful. I don't know anything about the technicalities involved in sound etc. so it's hard for me to describe. But it sounds as if someone edited out some frequencies. The vocals almost sounds monotone. It's...

I did some more testing and it turns out (apparently) that the fault lies with the Schiit dac/amp not the headphones. The headphones are missing what might be mid-range sound when connected to the Modi 2 but when I connect them to my monitors that missing sound is back. I went through sound...

The Modi and Magni came in the post this morning and I hooked it all up with the DT990 and I have to agree with what you said about them being rubbish for music. I consider myself half tone death and I can tell they are poor. I listened to the Clean Bandit ft Louisa Johnson vocal at the start of...

I like treble. Right now, without the amp, to me the DT 990 sounds pretty deep. Don't know how much the amp is going to change it but I don't think I will have a problem with it. The main reason I decided to keep the DT990 is because of the extra detail I noticed (connected to the Alesis) in the...

Luckily I realised that when placing the order, had to order the cable for it too.

Too late now, Schiit Modi 2 and Magni 2 have been ordered. I am not an audiophile so hopefully Modi and Mangi will be good enough. Almost £250 for the lot... They better be good.

I think I will be going with the Schiit Modi 2 and Magni 2. Purely because they have an EU website/dealer. JDS Labs is not for sale in the UK. But before I pull the trigger I have a couple more questions: 1. Would I benefit from the more expensive Uber versions? 2. What are the RCA ports on...

It's kind of budget versus what I need versus other things I could be spending that money on... Just had a look at the low ohm headphones and they all seem to be closed back. It's just not going to be as good... I think I will be going with either Schiit or JDS Labs amp/dac solutions. Will...

okay, a quick google tells me there is a reason that a computer case amp/dac is not used - interferences etc. That looks good, I could customise it to have Ac in the back, add RCA output for normal speakers later. Pricey though. Will have to sleep on this. Might just exchange my 250 ohm...

In Fulla 2 specs it says output impedance is 0.5 ohms? Shouldn't I be looking for something with an output impedance of 250 ohms? Since my monitors are USB I take it they have their own DAC and Amp just the Amp is not powerful enough? So if I bought...

I think sound should be stronger and fuller. I don't know anything about sounds etc but it just doesn't feel quite right. And on the Alesis forums they said those monitors are good for up to 100 Ohm headphones.

I was hoping for something nicer looking and all black. I don't want it to clutter my desk or clash with what's already on it. That Magni looks very nice but it looks like I will also need a separate DAC. I was hoping for one box to do it all. Any other suggestions? A nice looking black box...

Need advice regarding a headphone amp. I am using Alesis M1Active 520USB studio monitors which are connected to my PC via USB. That's for gaming, watching YouTube, TV series and movies online. And, late at night, I connect a headset to the studio monitors via the 6.35mm (1/4") connector. But...
