Holy Schiit. Am I ever a Sad Panda. Obviously I'm hearing clipping in my music, and after doing a little research here, I haven't found a place to start. I'm using a new, original Modi with a Magni 2U and a new laptop. As I just got the Modi and the laptop, I had only a couple chances to hear the modi with the old PC before I destroyed said PC while (failing to) change the cooling fans, lol. So now I'm using modi/Magni 2u with laptop and I am noticing this occasional only, yet highly irrating clipping. It happens at least 3 times per song. I'm assuming the modi is the likely culprit, but can you guys think of anything else? This DAC had such a good recomendation, and I can't return it b/c I got it for $79 from Schiit's clearance section. I must have just got a bad one, right? or no? Money is too tight to just buy another DAC, so I thought I'd use any advice here to troubleshoot/solve problem without buying a new DAC. I'm listening to 320K mp3's with GOM media player and Senn HD650, which is what I used on my old PC with just the Magni 2u and never had any clipping. Questions? Thoughts? I appreciate any input in advance.
