Schiit Midgard - Impressions Thread
Having owning a Magnius for almost a year, I'm interested in the Midgard, but I'm going to acquire a Modius first (or perhaps a Modius 2?). It's always great that the Schiit headphone amps keep increasing the output power per channel in new lower end models, because there's nothing wrong with...- vibin247

On December 10, 2021, #FiiO 2021 Winter Launch Event# will straightly get to you. Let's stay tuned for it.
There's two left up for sale on Amazon US if anyone wants to be an early bird! Alas, I recently picked up the M11 Plus LTD and FD3 Pro, and still rocking my FA9, so I'll be a good boy and wait next year :) -

Do you have a bit perfect setup? Playing with the playback buffer can sometimes introduce artifacts, especially when trying to achieve a direct connection through ASIO.- vibin247

All you need is a 3.5mm stereo to RCA cable to connect the FiiO M11 to the Schiit Magni 3. Use the Line Out function on the FiiO M11, and then adjust the volume on the Magni 3 to taste during playback.- vibin247

The headphones need to have separate channels for each ear in order to benefit from the balanced connections on the M11. If your headphones have separate inputs for each ear, likely there is an OEM or third-party cable that will have the 2.5mm balanced or 4.4mm/Pentacon plug for that headphone.- vibin247

According to the FiiO website, MQA support in 8x mode is available on FiiO Music application for the M11 Pro, and will be available to third-party applications in a future firmware update. For the M11, no support for MQA at this time.- vibin247

After installing Amazon Music from APKPure, do you reboot the M11? Oddly enough, I was able to get Amazon Music HD to playback correctly the first time I installed it on my Galaxy S9 Plus. It could be an issue with the app itself. Perhaps logging out of Amazon Music and then logging back in...- vibin247

The FiiO Applications app only installs an older version of Amazon Music. I'm currently listening to Ultra HD tracks on Amazon Music using version 16.2.2, with the latest 1.0.7 firmware update for my M11. I had to update the firmware, uninstall Amazon Music and reinstall with APKPure. HTH- vibin247

Schiit Asgard 3 - Impressions Thread
In comparison to my Valhalla 2, the Asgard 3 would give me better impedance matching with different headphones. The Valhalla 2 is still a great amp, but it pairs best with high impedance cans like those from Beyerdynamic and Sennheiser. I was getting OK performance with the Valhalla with my...- vibin247

Schiit Asgard 3 - Impressions Thread
I received my Asgard 3 earlier today and have been listening to my 'phones pretty much for a few hours and so far so good. What an amp! Details are crisp and the highs aren't too bright for my liking. My Valhalla 2 is definitely warmer in the bass region, which makes for more relaxed listening...- vibin247

Schiit Asgard 3 - Impressions Thread
This is great news! While I still enjoy my Valhalla 2 and Bifrost 4490, I could easily see slipping that Asgard 3 into the setup, and I'm pretty sure I'm buying that sooner than later. I always wanted to try out lower impedance cans like the Focals, but the Valhalla 2 didn't seem to match well...- vibin247
