Ok, After several reviews and advices, I was lead here to ask some suggestions for my HD700. I am new to this field of amp. This year I bought a DAC, Meridian Explorer 2, and I am looking for an amp suitable. I've narrowed and rearranged the option. My choice is either Schiit Asgard 2 or...

Thanks for the advice. Yeah looking from other forums HD700 might not be a good pairing with the Magni 2 Uber.

Ok. So, I made up my mind by selecting Schiit Audio products Asgard 2 and Magni 2 Uber as an amp with E2 as a DAC. If there's any suggestions with these two options please do not hesitate to share your experience. Reviews show that both are great amps in the range of each price and I'd like to...

I use Meridian Explorer 2 as a DAC and I learned that E2 amp isn't that powerful enought to power HD700. But, I do need to know like if there's a big improvement on the sound when you use a amp with a DAC. I appreciate the sound I hear from using E2 as a DAC with B&W P7 but I'm also curious if...

Yeah, I guess I have to consider the price not that important;y because it's a matter of which one produces better sound.

 I use B&W P7 [22ohm] and am going to use HD700 [150ohm]. So... I guess P7 is low impedance and HD700 is high impedance, um... right? Well I don't know how hot it gets, like is it 50 celcius which is rather warm ? Aside from that temperature, is there not much difference in sound quality?

  First of all, I'd like to say that I use Meridain Explorer 2 as a DAC and I'm fine with it. I kinda feel that Meridain Explorer 2 won't power the HD700 well since it's 150 Ω. So, I looked on head-fi forums and found out that some users use Schiit Vali as an AMP. I got advice by the user and...

Are there any ways I could connect Meridian Explorer 2 with Schiit amp products like Magni 2 uber or Vali? I see on youtube that you have to buy RCA?cables but there seems to be some type of cable in this one 2 by 2 and 2 by 1 cable. Would these be appropriate cables connect to Meridian...

Hi, I am conesidering buying Schiit Vali or Magni 2 Uber. I'd like to know how I can use Meridian Explorer 2 with Schiit amp products together with Sennheiser HD700. Are there cables that I need to  connect  Meridian Explorer 2 with Schiit amp products when there's L and R intput/ output...

  First of all, I'd like to say that I use Meridain Explorer 2 as a DAC and I'm fine with it. I kinda feel that Meridain Explorer 2 won't power the HD700 well since it's 300ohm. So, I looked on head-fi forums and found out that some users use Schiit Vali as an AMP. I got advice by the user and...

Wow, I'm kinda glad that they take care of tubes by providing service. But, I live out of the U.S. and that would be a bit of problem when the product goes wrong. Aside from that, I can see that Vali is a one the great choices for choosing AMPs in that range of price.

Thank you so much for the help. Actually you're the one who helped me buy Meridian Explorer². Oh, I didn't know Meridian Explorer² could handle 150ohm headphone. Or is it like it can handle the headphone on some portion, not close to its full potential. I never used a tube amp and I wonder if I...

I just bought a Sennheiser HD 700 Headphones and I need know how my Meridian Explorer can provide sound performance for this headphone. Since the headphone is 150ohm, I want know if I have other options to hear the sound which HD700 can provide. I can see Geek out 1000, Schiit Vali, um.... How...

wait... what? Audio GD Master 7 is about $2000 right? Are you Meridian Explorer 2 with a 10 fold product?

Of course, you're definetly right about it. just wanted to provide some references to you

-http://lhlabs.com/force/geekout/898-geek-out-vs-the-others-3rd-installment-   This place has some comparison between Explorer and Geek out. The data shows that Geek out outweigh it's opponents. But, it's just me but these make me assume that the data was made deliberately to make Geek out...

Thank you so much for the opinion.So it's guaranteed that Meridian Explorer goes well with B&W P7.

Hi, I did some digging with the DAC USB I'm going to buy and need to choose between Meridian explorer 2 and Geek out. Both cost the same $299, and I don't care the range of 32bit because I don't know where to get it. Most of my music files are CD-rip and 24bit. I use B&W P7. Now, I just...
