I've heard nothing but greatness about the M-Stage. I wanted to buy one in the next town over a month ago, but couldn't get a ride. I needed a transparent amp for mixing. Reading this, it will definitely be my next upgrade.

He has a K5 on high gain at 1 O' clock, but people on here were calling me crazy when I said my Magni V1 isn't strong enough to power them properly. Schiit sent it back and said there was nothing wrong with it. I ended up buying a pair of Fischer Audio FA-003 Ti's. The magni isn't strong enough...

Welp, I sent the Magni in for repair last week, and they emailed me back today saying they repaired it. Apparently this whole time it HAS been broken, but I had no idea of knowing it.... Lovely. When it arrives, I'll finally be able to see it's true potential.

We mix, not fix. 

Audio engineer, sir.

..... I've had these 880's for two days, and I just unplugged them to listen to something really quickly with my HD-681 EVO's... I then plugged them back into my receiver and within that time frame of 20 seconds, the left driver died...... Lovely.

I would have bought the MK II but I'm an engineer, so I need a non-colored amp. I also would have bought the E09K but finding one is..... not easy. I'll nab a K5 when it's released, regardless of what amp I'll have by then.

After telling him what I told you guys, he sent me a link that basically told me to try....... different sources, even though in the previous email I wrote that I did that. So, I told him that I think the Magni may have been messed up ever since I bought it and I didn't know because the K240's...

I have the Magni V1. It has no gain switch. That's the Magni 2.   They arrived earlier. When I opened the box, I was confused. They look MUUUUUUUUCH larger online. They're fairly small. Anyway, with the Magni turned all the way up, they're slightly louder than the K612's, but the volume...

Here's a video I filmed testing other people with an MP3 player as my source. It's a little long, but bear with me here, lol. https://youtu.be/XpcRsjhK33w

I used two laptops, a netbook, the headphone out on top of my tower and the one on my motherboard, an old Zune, a crappy Philips mp3 player, my 2i2 interface, my phone and a CD player.... That's 10 sources and only one of them worked well, not to mention that my receiver drives them better than...

Yea, the Magni can get all my other headphones to ear bleeding levels except my AKG K240 (VERY Old) 600 Ohm and K612. It's 10000x times worse with the K240's. It's like my volume is on 10 or 20%, but people on forums said it'd be able to drive them with ease. Those were the reason that I had...

Q701's are not K612's, and the O2 is not a Magni V1, sir. The volume isn't anywhere near ear killing, and I mix music around -20 RMS. Due to no headroom, it sound like I have my computer on 40% volume. Absolutely unacceptable for my purposes. As I had said, my receiver does much better, but it...

I have two laptops, a netbook and a desktop. My desktop is my main. Anyway, nothing seems to change, but Foobar is irrelevant because I'm using it to make music, not rock out in Foobar, though that software DOES make the music a little louder than my other software. Windows volume of course, is...

Hooked it up to my two laptops and my few MP3 players, and it still had the same problem. Then I hooked it up to my cheapo $30 CD boombox from Walmart, lowered the volume nob at 3 just in case and it scared the hell out of me. Around 1 O'clock is damn loud. 2 is the sweet spot~ Subs aren't...
