This DAC will be used with my Schiit Vali and HD650's. Modi is currently £100 and DacMagic £150 on offer from £200. I'm happy to go for either. Please assist my decision!!

I will go for the Modi or Cambridge DacMagic 100 (as it has optical in). She's a Parrotlet. Amazing and also tiny. Main thing they need it your time daily as they bond to you. And vigilance as they LOVE wires. Go for it.

  Me and the parrot approve!

Anyone tried this with the Schiit Vali? I currently use:   Audioengine D1>HD 650. Tonight im putting in my Schiit Vali. I can sell my D1 and replace it with a dedicated amp. ie. Dacmagic 100?   Havent found anything on this setup... 

You're right! Retails at $119. So £119 is steep. But maybe its the same for you, there is a lot less choice in the UK of AMPS, and with my small budget, shipping charges etc just aren't worth it for me!

In stock at Electromod. I ordered mine Monday...

I have new HD 650's which im running from my Audioengine D1 DAC/AMP. I like it so far, upgraded from 595's. In particular they are darker and the base presence has increased. Which I have loved.   Anyway I have ordered a Schiit Vali and wonder who has this amp with the 650's. I have looked but...

I will be trying this combo out on Friday. Asked the exact same question but didn't receive any response. I'm driving a pair of 650's

Hello all,   My Vali is arriving on Wednesday. Im rather excited.    Will be running:   (mac) itunes>>Audioengine D1>>Vali>> Senn HD 650.   I will most probably sell my D1 as it is relatively new (under two months) and go for a dedicated amp. Currently I could go for a Cambridge Audio...

These 650's are staying with me. No returns this time Amazon!

  Got my 650's, they sound great straight from my D1 (flac). I'm not worried now, I think either way, if I go for the Vali of Little Dot MK3, I'll be happy!

Somebody should probably tell this guy 'Stop commenting here.' Is infact a comment.

Thanks!

Can somebody explain to me what 'brighter' means in relation to the sound? (I'm new)   I have my 650's in a freshly sealed Amazon box. I have two weeks off work to burn them in and decide whether I want to keep them or not. (or stick with my 595's)   I have the Audioengine D1, but with the...

Yeah, sounds good to me. I'm from the UK, and a Valhalla is £350 which is a lot. Due to importing I guess. May consider the Vali in this case, although irrelevant to sound quality, Schiit products look great too!

Anyone tried any HD 650's on it?

Thanks Jamie, thanks for your advice also, was very helpful indeed. I owe you a beer if you're ever in london!

UH OH. Just pulled the trigger. I will be an owner within 24 hours! 

From there release up until some point in 2007. So I am told.

I think they just haven't updated their images. Thanks.

Maybe somebody else has experienced this, I want to purchase some 650's, I was told that the newer models have silver drivers as apposed to black, great!    Went on Amazon (UK) and they are displaying the old models, also evident by the cables:  ...

Nice composition on the top shot.

I'm not a Beats fan, for the same as many on this forum that can recognise they're a rip off behind a clever marketing strategy. I applaud this guy for recognising it, and reaching for help. Poor guy. 

Thanks for your advice! I think i'll like the upgrade!
