Which is better, Fiio EK9 or the Schiit Magni? What setup would you personally get?
The EK9 has a nice feature, specifically the fact that it can cradle the very popular Fiio E17 DAC/AMP, making the combined devices an AMP x DAC system. Also, the E17 is portable and provides tremendous convenience if you're an avid traveler who needs amplification for your headphones.
In contrast, the Schiit Magni amp doesn't have a cradling feature. And their respective DAC, the Modi, is not portable and doesn't have the multiple features the E17 has.
Most importantly though, how are the sound qualities of each amp? Are the Schiit's any better?
