Just got a Modi + Magni amp and dac combo and I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to use my Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 interface with the combo. Basically trying to have my headphones and monitor connections on the same unit but want the power of a dedicated headphone amp.    Also, this is...

Hi,   I recently got a new Magni + Modi stack for my DT770 250 ohm. My setup is Laptop > Modi > Magni > DT770.   One thing that I noticed is a subtle Hiss sound, that is only there when playing something (doesn't happen when the headphones are connected but the PC is not playing anything)...

Hi! So, taking Schiit as an example: the price of their highest end DACs and amps is 750% the cost of the lowest end units.  That is quite a spread.  I can understand that kind of spread on amps but I don't see how there can be that much difference on DACs. Given the fact that the Modi is by all...

I'm pretty new to the world of hi-fi audio, and I'm looking into improving my rig for music capabilities.  I'm looking into either getting a new sound card or an external DAC, but I'm not sure which is the better route. To give you an idea for what I want to do, I'd like to set up my computer...

So I've downgraded my setup, sold my HE-6, sold my Audio GD DI and Audio GD ES9018 DAC and 110wpc Yamaha speaker amp... I purchased the HE-400 based on the black friday sale, and I'm looking to pair it with a new dac and amp. I'm looking at the Schiit Modi/Vali combo and the Aune T1 The things...

Basically what do you guys think is th better choice aside from the fact that Astros are $100 more than trittons. People with experience please help Sent from my LGMS500 using Tapatalk

Hello,   Looking to pair my DT880's with a DAC for around $100. I am thinking of getting a tube amp to go with it. What would be my best option, the Schiit Modi?   Amps: Bottlehead Crack Schiit Vahalla

hi   Having a problem with my magni/modi stack, would appreciate some thoughts.   Moved the units and my laptop (macbook pro) last night and since reattaching units to my laptop i'm getting 0 sound out of them. The light on the amp and dac turns on and laptop picks up the dac, so i think...

Just purchased a Modi/Magni stack. Things are working fine except once every few seconds, I get audio stutters and crackles. I am running Windows 7 with Foobar2000 and connecting the Modi with my USB port and RCA cables to the Magni thorugh my HD 650's.   Im inclined to believe this is a...

I'm not sure what type of combination I want..... These are all the combinations i'm going for pretty much.   Little Dot 1+/Modi Magni/Modi Objective2 Amp/Objective DAC Little Dot 1+/Objective DAC   I'm leaning towards the Little Dot 1+/Modi combination.   I already know about the...

Is Modi better? (Stupid Question) What is the improvment?

Hey guys.  After some thinking, I'm thinking of asking to get an external USB DAC for my computer system (I have active speakers, and I'd like a port for headphones), and other than waiting on an amp (with my gear, I likely can), I have no idea as to what to get.  From what my amateurish...

Hello everyone,   So I just picked up a pair of Denon AH-D600 and the Schiit Magni and was just wondering what the safe levels of listening should be. Since these cans have a very low impedance (25 ohms), would turning up the amp (half way) damage the headphones?    Denon AHD600 Maximum...

Comparing only the performance of the DACs in the Audioquest Dragonfly and the HRT Microstreamer, is there a big difference between them and the Schiit Modi and the ODAC?   Since the Dragonfly and Microstreamer are smaller portable devices, I'm guessing they sacrifice performance of the DAC...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUV-qe45tu8   I just watched that video and the kid went from OMG I HAVE THE MODI AND MAGNI LET'S PLAY MUSIC to OMG NOW I GOTTA TO GO TO THE STORE.   So yeah I don't want to end up like that kid what kind of cords do I need to purchase in order to plug the Modi...

I hope this is in the right forum.. if not, mods, please move it.   When I plug the Modi into the USB 2 port of my windows 7 laptop, like I always have, the computer no longer automatically switches audio devices from the realtek audio (internal speakers) to the schiit usb audio.   When...

Just purchased pair of Beyerdynamics DT990 600 ohms on a whim so am looking for an amp. The source will mostly be a computer with onboard sound, which sadly I can't really comment on the quality of because my Grados SR80s are out of commission from foam disintegration and my Sony V6s are at...

Hey guys I'd like opinions,impressions and suggestions from anyone who owns these devices...I'm intetioned to buy Modi + Asgard 2 but I've not really decided because of lack of personal impressions about essence one.thanks to anyone will answer.

Hi! I'm using a Schiit Modi DAC, and I'm on Windows 8.   While playing games or whatever (playing music on youtube works without problems), everything works fine. But while playing music with spotify or foobar2000, the music will stop in the middle of playing... The Error i get in foobar2000...

I'm on a budget but want to get some Senn HD600's. I'm not so nieve to believe I don't need an amp with a little power, but I'm realistic to know I can't spend more than $200 on an amp. I currently have a Fiio E10, but would this be enough. I know Fiio is cheap so how about the new E12 or the...

Hello Everyone, Being in the hunt for a new DAC/Head amp for my office, I was wondering how does the Magni-Modi combo from Schiit compare with the Asus Essence One (regular edition, not the Muses, then the price diff would become too important) ? In my neck of the woods, after all is said and...

Just got myself a Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro today. I've never owned any set of headphones except gaming ones. I'm using a Razer Megalodon right now, merely because I have nothing to drive the DT 990. I do have a Sound Blaster Zx coming on the mail, though (but this is obviously for another...

I recently acquired a Schiit Modi dac. Was already pretty frustrated with it refusing to work until a reboot. While playing music in fb2k every 20 odd seconds it will stop playing for a few seconds and start again, or even cut out sections altogether. Similar issue on youtube videos and watching...

Hello everyone,   I picked up a new Schiit Modi recently and have been having a serious problem that maybe someone hear can shed some light on.  The issue is only with my desktop PC and not my laptop.  What is happening is Windows will keep discovering and undiscovering (I know that isn't a...

I own an iBasso DB2 and PB2. I am incredibly fond of their sound, but I've found that I've been leaving them in my office essentially all of the time and never actually take advantage of their built-in batteries. It's largely a question of size; as much as I love their sound, the two of them...
