Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone
Too true...hard to gauge audio reviews because I've never heard any of their equipment as comparison. "These headphones sound great on any of my three $1000+ amps and exotic tubes" Well I would hope so... but can one of you bastards plug it into a Magni so I can know what the hell's going on?- wcgryphon

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone
I've only had mine for a little over a week, no idea how many hours it's been. Tried the balanced pads at the beginning, very noticeable that it got V shaped and lost some mids and went back to the A pads. Put the balanced back on a day or so ago to try them again and it was still very clear...- wcgryphon

If you're intent on staying in the Fulla 2 price range and small size, you might check out the Micca OriGen. xDuoo XD-05 is Schiit stack pricing unless you catch the next Massdrop or buy used.- wcgryphon

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone
These definitely sound more lively and enjoyable in comparison. Was worried the highs might be an issue as it is with some people, but I don't think it's bothersome in the short time I've had it. One thing that is definitely noticeable is the comfort...I think I've been spoiled by the...- wcgryphon

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone
Was on the fence when it dropped to $499...jumped on it once it hit $400. On the delivery truck, will probably be here within the hour. Trying to keep my expectations in check so not to be disappointed. Current set up: Magni 3 / Modi 2U --> AKG K7xx & RBH HP-2- wcgryphon

Schiit Magni Headphone Amplifier
Quote: The Asgard was announced in June of 2010, the Magni in Dec of 2012. A gap of almost 2 1/2 years.....in what realm of consumer electronics is this "making another product very quickly after the first?" Are you just disappointed that you bought a product at the end of it's life cycle...- wcgryphon

*Comparison and Review* Magni/Modi vs O2/ODAC
Quote: Absolutely no hiss from my HE-400 and M&M. The high gain isn't bothering me either once I drop the PC volume or furbar2000+WASAPI to about 75-80%. Can probably drop it lower, but I'm comfortable with the Magni volume pot around 10-11 o'clock.- wcgryphon

This Schiit is Bananas! $99 Schiit Magni Amp and $99 Modi DAC
Quote: I questioned the same after I read that review, and I thought maybe the Schiits really didn't provide the bass my HE-400s could deliver. It did seem that way to me on some of my files. But then I put on some electronic and dubstep genres, and man, I could not want "more bass".... I...- wcgryphon

This Schiit is Bananas! $99 Schiit Magni Amp and $99 Modi DAC
The ODAC is technically 50% more expensive than the MODI. Even though both products are in the entry level bracket, the price difference is not insubstantial when compared to each other. I've never heard the ODAC, but I'm thoroughly enjoying my MAGNI+MODI combo (upgraded from E10).- wcgryphon
