They do put out more power than the Vali but the pairing might not be good with the HE4. Who knows where the head-fier was coming from, for all we know a darth beyer, but he said that the HE400 sounded harsh/bright with the Magni. Just a thought, not saying it wouldn't work or won't pair well. You could always return it with Schiit's 2 returns per year policy.
How on earth do those things sound? I got offered one for me DT 880... I didn't do the trade as I have and already paid about $600 for a modded D2k [Cups Pads Cable] no need for two bass heavy wood backs thank you
I hope I didn't sound biased towards the HE-4. They are the only good headphone I have ever owned and I have only had them for about 1 day lol. I was just putting in my 2 cents. I didn't get that the guy already had an amp/dac combo that wasn't suited to power the HE-4 like the Project Ember can. I think in this case waiting for the new hifiman headphones might be a good idea since he might have the right gear to power them. We just have to wait and see what they sound like and what amp can drive them.
... The HE 4 out of a Project Ember? Does the ember really have the current to drive the HE 4 :O
Either way, kinda glad I have my NFB 10ES2 <3 nothing like 6w into 32ohms
