I only have Magni and Project Ember and the Ember is in a different class, sound, power and price wise. If you are looking to drive the HE-400i or have a few different headphones with different impedances I would definitely go with the Ember but it is 3 times the price of the Magni. The Magni is on the bright side IMO while the Ember is more neutral depending on the tube you use and having the ability to change the output resistance/impedance will let it pair with a larger variety of headphones.
Don't know if anyone uses the Vali with planar headphones as I don't recall seeing it being mentioned on this thread. Might want to check the threads for each of the amps as there should be more comparisons there between different amps.
Cheer for this.
