Since I am (still) in the market for an amp to drive my Beyerdynamic DT990 pro 250 ohms and Philips TX2 IEMs for me it comes down to either the Fiio E12 (my preference) or the Schiit Magni 2 (maybe Uber). The amp will be connected mainly to my AVR, maybe Astro Mixamp, to portable devices (iphone etc.) and to my MacBook and used mainly for gaming and movies but should also be enjoyable with music.
Right now I prefer the E12 route for several reasons: I read it is a good amp and goes well together with my Beyerdynamic headphones, IEMs are not much of a concern for me. The portablity is also a big plus for me since I want to carry it around the house, connect it to different devices. Also I could get the E12 from a local store and really like the looks and size of it.
For me it simply comes down to the question if the Schiit Magni 2 is THAT much better in terms of sound quality to put all the advantages of the E12 aside and still go for the Magni 2 even tough it would be a hassle to order it and maybe return it, if necessary. If they are somewhat on a level playing field I will get the E12, even tough from what I understand the Magni 2 is the better amp.
Any help on this would be much appreciated
