Yay another person who games with these cans. In terms of gaming, soundstage is the most important. And if you can't game with open headphones, these have one of the best soundstages of closed headphones.

If there is a dent you could consider returning it.

What do you guys think of maybe doing the Pioneer BS21 or the BS41, going for $70 and $100 respectively. Would these be a big improvement over the daytons?

Never mind this post. I have been looking for the Swan M10s because they are highly recommended but it seems impossible to find them in the U.S.

I wonder if there is a decent speaker option to up the budget from the Daytons but not taking it over $100 including the $20 amp.   Also do you think I could split the modi to both the magni and the speak amp so I don't have to switch cords every time or would that just cause problems?

Ok thanks.

So I am better off getting two separate amps?

I've been looking into those but I wonder if they really aren't very good. If the reviews are correct and they are the best I can get under $100 then I suppose I will get them.

EDIT: Bought a modi/magni for headphones. I need to spend around $100 on speakers.   So here is my dilemma. I want an amp and a dac for my Audio Technica A900X headphones and I have been leaning towards getting the Schiit Magni/Modi. However, I have decided to also get some speakers and spend...

I think it does have an line out but its a 3.5mm line instead of a RCA output? Analog Input 3.5mm Analog Output 3.5mm   EDIT: I see those outputs are for the amp only. I am really more of a headphone guy but I think it makes a lot more sense to be able to use the DAC and the AMP...

The combo I'm looking at is both of them in one shell. No batteries. Also, what are the options for hooking up speakers to amps like these? Would you need a converter to plug the speakers into the headphone ports?

I know this thread is old but can some one comment on the O2+ODAC combo versus the Magni/Modi. I between a good black friday deal on the O2 ODAC combo and just buying the Magni/Modi.

But come on there was literally over 100 new posts in less than 24 hours...thats insane.

This is a great idea! People like me and go to the deals thread and just read the deals without the banter. Then if a deal interests us we can come here and ask questions all day!

I agree with the comments that people are waiting for black friday. Even on the deals threads people are passing by a lot more deals in anticipation of black friday. I for one am interested in the modi/magni but I am waiting until around christmas to buy them, partially because of the whole...

If you do decide to introduce black in the future as a permanent option, you should adonize it like the silver, instead of the black powder coat you have now. Its a shame you aren't offering the magni/modi in black, I am looking at getting one at the moment. Its just my computer I built myself...

I saw some reviews saying the monoprice cables created static. I don't really want to spend $40 on cable when I can spend $7, but I also don't want static from cheap cable...

I saw somewhere on this forum where a guy had painted his schiit black... If only I could remember where.

I guess I see the point here. I want something I can buy that I will be able to use for a long time. I definitely want to buy some more ~$200 headphones and have something objective to review them with.     Should I go with the PYST cables or buy my own?

Why don't we just merge the IEM deal thread with the normal deals thread??? There is no point to have a separate deal thread for IEMs when we have Headphones, DACs, and amps all in one thread. And I think ALL of us can agree that we don't want any more deal threads we have to be subscribed to...

I really would like to keep it around 200 at max, those push the price point near $300. Also, I posted this in the top but I figured I should post it here as well.   EDIT: Ok so I want a dac/amp combo. I can spend around $200ish if it is really worth it. A must for me is a good soundstage...

But I'm still going back and forth as to whether it is worth the extra money for a schiit stack over the e17....

What do you guys think of me getting a Fiio E17 for $100? Would that work for me?
