MLE you still enjoying your Annie's or finding yourself back on he400 more often?
"miracle" ear buds driving by the Schiit at my computer. Really, really good stuff. I need to try it all out on the HE-400s. I was
I'm still trying to track down a copy of the 461 Ocean Blvd that I hear on MOG. None of the copies I've found have the same tracks listed and NONE of them seem to be mastered like this one. Gotta find it though.
Why'd you get the E07K? I'm assuming for the LO bypass for bass/treble controls.
Does it have the same dac as the E17, just a weaker amp section? I'd be interested for the E07K if the dac is the same as the E17, which was overkill as I didn't need the amp portion, just the bass/treble control.

Will burn-in address these issues, or does the sound of the HE-400 pretty much stay the same? Is three days of pink noise the answer?
Newest owner of the Magni/Modi + HE-400 club! Quite a noticeable difference from me coming from the E17s.
What I like about this stack over the E17 is the gain of clarity. Everything sounds cleaner and clearer than ever before.
I'm forever the skeptic, always questioning how much of what I read on Head-fi is exaggerated claims, etc.
But I can honestly say that the Schiit stack makes a difference to my ears.
One complaint. I am hearing loud hissing on some songs, and then no hiss at all on other songs. Is this what they mean by "revealing"? Am I finally noticing bad recordings?
And even though I am content with this stack so far, I can't help but wonder about either upgrading the DAC or going with the Aune T1 tube amp/dac. Any thoughts?

Hey everyone,
First off, thanks to everyone for being so helpful and answering my questions about the HE-400. I've started playing pink noise between listenings and I feel like the HE-400 losing it's shrillness and opening up really fast. I also ordered the velour earpads, so we'll see if those make a difference for me.
Now I'm trying to decide between the Magni/Modi or the Aune T1. I really want something that will maintain the base quantity/quality as well as give the HE-400's a little more body. At the same time, I don't want to sacrifice detail.
I hear the Magni/Modi is fantastic in terms of detail but can make the HE-400's sound sibilant. Meanwhile the Aune T1 is supposed to be solid all around. If possible, I'd like to avoid hissing.
Between those two, which would you guys suggest? Any other suggestions around that price range would also be welcome!
Thanks again
Yes. The cables have their own markings, so I find it nicer to look at without those cheap white markings. I could just use a small sticker or something on the underside of the headband to let me know what side is the right, etc, if I remove the cables. Not that it matters, as the Hifimans can be worn either way.
Lol, dude, you can reverse the cables.
Lol, dude, you can reverse the cables. The hifimans dont have any orientation, so you can flip the headphones around and reverse the cables, and you'd be fine. The pads would have to mold to your head shape again, but that wouldn't take long.
Just ordered the leatherette headband, can't wait to give it a whirl to see how it enhances comfort. Not that comfort is bad at the moment, but for $17 and being compatible with multiple hp's...
