that is exactly the case. the magni 2 came in today and completely opened up the soundstage and created a more detailed picture of sound. i find myself wanting to add more juice to the lows since it doesn't seem like there is much provided by default on the k712s. my question is whether a dac...

any other input/recommendations? how about the dac?

alright, thank twelvetrains.   i wonder how the mad dog pros fit into the comparison.

  on amazon both the 1840's and the 1540's cost the same, but one is closed and one is open. are the 1840's of higher sound quality, or for what i'm looking for the 1540's fit the bill?

alright :) the reason i asked is because i was checking out their site and saw that the uber had more rms per channel. i do use the virtual surround for fps gaming. although, i was thinking of getting the dac and using that for music and movies while not gaming.   i also was measuring the...

hello cel,   thank you very much for your prompt reply. so you are recommending the standard magni 2, and not their uber version? is that right? would it benefit me more to get the uber version?   thanks!   -gendi

Hello Forum!   I am new but I have been lurking for years, trying to absorb much of your knowledge. If I picked up a tiny fraction of it, I am thankful.   I just purchased the K712 Pro and have been using the ASUS Xonar Xense One sound card (the one that came bundled with the Sennheiser...
