Hi Folks, I pulled the trigger this week to upgrade X2HRs and FiiO K3 since the ear cup broke on my X2's to some Sundaras and a Magni Hersey + Modi 3+ setup that should be here early next week. I also ordered a cable from Hart Cables: Link And some Monoprice RCAs:Link Is there anything...

Looking at buying one of the two mentioned but really don't know which, both similarly priced I'm currently in the process of downgrading as I really just don't need the power I currently have (789+d70) Haven't seen any comparison between the atom stack and schiit stack, so im hoping someone...

I am looking for a DAP, primarily to play FLAC files (some MP3). Is there a DAP with a line out that can connect to my Modi & Magni - and bypass the DAP's internal DAC? I was using a laptop as source, but my new job won't allow for that. I don’t need excessive storage, 500 or 256 will do...

Hi, I don't know what to do, I have Xonar Essence STX (2xMUSES8920 + 1xMUSES8820) and HD650, want to improve sound quality, what is better for upgrade? I can buy Magni 3 for Essence STX + 2 x op-amp Burson V5-D or don't buy op-amp from Burson and just take Schiit stack Modi 3 + Magni 3? Someone...

Hello Forum, I have been considering the following DAC/amp/bluetooth options. My current IEMs are all 16-32 ohm, and I am considering purchasing AKG K553 MKII for my first full-size cans (also 32 ohm). I want a combo of DAC, amp and bluetooth receiver that can drive these at low to moderate...

I have the modi multibit with toslink and I'm curious about what is the best sample quality to choose for this DAC? I know it has the comboburrito filter, is this something I should try and bypass by upsampling? If anyone has knowledge as to the best frequency to feed the modi multibit let me...

Hi all, I've collected some gear over the past few years and I'm wondering how to get more from my music. I listened to Final Fantasy's Distant World album and was absolutely moved by the big orchestra. I'd like to find out if there are any bottlenecks in my setup and the possible upgrades...

Hello, I hope I am posting in the correct location. I was listening to my Fulla 2 as a DAC/amp, and A/Bing it with a Modi Multibit. I could not hear a discernible difference between them. I could not tell if it was a bias or if one was better or worse, almost completely identical. I do not know...

I'm having issues with my new dac (Modi 3). When I play music, the main vocals are very faint. The background music and certain sounds seem to play completely fine, but the main vocals are barely audible and slightly distorted. When playing videos, only certain background sounds and effects come...

ok guys. I bought the Sennheiser HD6XX. I’ll be trying them next month since I’m in my home country and I sent them to my gf’s house. So, I’ve been reading and reading and reading and still can’t decide for an DAC/Amp combo. Some people I read said that it’s better to do a good investment in...

Currently looking for a new stack as my desktop one both has major interference and has started pushing my headphone jack out of itself making for a great excuse to get some new gear. I currently have a pair of Sennheiser HD 598 SRs which I have heard are very easy to power but might be picking...

So I'm pretty new to all this audio stuff and I'm finding it pretty interesting and would like to learn more so forgive my ignorance. To get myself started I picked up the Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX and was wondering what AMP and DAC to pair up with. So far my favorite is the Magni + Modi...

Hi, I will be outlining my plan to audiophilize ps4 with chat support. Now im i don't want to spend a fortune, and I'm not looking for the best audio ever. Just really good. Keep that in mind i know i can use others to sound better but i want to keep a good ratio between cost and quality...

Hi all, Short and sweet, currently using an HD800S with a MODI2/MAGNI3 stack and have been highly encouraged to upgrade such setup to take full advantage of these cans. At the moment I find the highs are a bit harsh and the mods are slightly recessed, I find I’m having to increase the volume...

Hi, I have a pair of powered speakers but I am not sure what to buy to help with the volume control. I heard the magni 3 can be used as a preamp? I was thinking of buying the magni/modi to be able to control the audio and use the headphone amp in it as well. My question is if magni can be used...

I presently possess Sennheiser HD-600 headphones which demand something to drive it. I was going to start with baseline modules like the Schiit Modi 2 Uber and Magni 2 Uber stack but a friend corrupted my ears. Now my 7.1 Bose speakers sound like complete garbage. But I’m here looking purely to...

I just got my Schiit Stack 2 yesterday and some people say to leave it on to make it sound it's best but, i usually turn off my computer and the and unplug it at night, which turns off the Modi 2. I also unplug my Magni 2. Does leaving it on 24/7 actually make a difference? Thanks -Zen

Hi everyone, I have a Schiit Modi Multibit for a couple of weeks now and it's a great DAC, but I'm wondering how hot it's supposed to get. Mine becomes almost too warm to touch at the top. Is this normal behaviour? It's connected now with a USB cable from ghentaudio (which I got today) to my...

Hi guys, Thanks to the plethora of useful information on the forum I was able to narrow my search for quality headphones and the necessary electronics. I have a PC with a mediocre onboard audio. Striving for higher quality audio I've decided to buy a Magni + Modi combo bypassing the integrated...

Right now, I'm running HE-560's connected to a MAC 1900 amplifier, which is connected to a Schiit Modi 2 Uber, which then connects to my PC. The first thing I'm curious about is the difference in audio signature from the 560's to the HEX v2. I generally prefer neutral sound signatures and can...
