To say a 99.00 amp is overkill for ANY headphones makes very little sense

I have the Schiit stack with the mag 3 and have hd650 bass modded k701 dt880 600ohm and AT ad700 and they all sound good in there own way.I have since gotten a valhalla 1 because of the dt880 and prefer the valhalla with the hd650 and dt880's Not saying in any way the valhalla is better than the mag 3. I just like the tube sound with certain HP's. Couple of gripes I have with the Schiit stack is it needs a Schiit strap or something to hold them together. Slightest tug on the HP cable and there goes your stack and the volume knob is too close to the HP jack. Makes it a little awkward sometimes to turn up volume.

Good to hear of your experiences with a group of cans with the M3. I've got a pair of HD6XX coming in the new year. Currently I'm using the HifiMAN HE400S with my M3, as well as some much modified Denon AH-D1000 cans (even my 600 ohm Senn HD540Rs), both of which are terrific with the amp, each showing very clearly their own sonic sigs, the benefits - for the most part - of a constant and low output impedance. Sounds like you have discovered something similar. I generally use my HD540Rs with the Valhalla 2, it's a little different from the V1, but if you want a huge treat with yours, Tom from Schiit recommended to me a set of Amperex NOS 1968 Orange Globe 6DJ8's. Wow! Give 'em some hours and boy do they add so much more than the stock tubes in the front end. Especially with brighter headphones! I'm looking forward to hearing my upcoming HD6XX with the V2!
Thanks for the tip on the Schiit stack, as I'm buying a Mimby early next year and I hear you on the tippy toes thing with light gear. I use very light 1/2M pure silver cables with Bullet plugs to help counteract the "pulling the amp of the shelf" thing Might have to create a strap of some form when the Mimby is added.

You could use this mini rack, so you would not need a handle to hold them together.

Nice!

 

[mmmadog]

I saw that. It looks nice plus you get style points with that. I'm so much into tubes right now but I thought about mag 3 with loki wyrd is that wired or weird and the modi 2 multibit they should just call it modi 3 and that mini rack would work perfect.

Then buy one.

I sent my Magni 3 back for repair/replacement as I could not get it to work right with my HD6XX. I'm hoping it was just a defective unit and when I get it replaced I will report on how it works.

I know the money is his, so I said that for me he could buy the HE1 and then break it with a mallet or throw it from the roof, but it is still waste of money.

You are a friendly one in audio small gains are what we all chase after. So.. he got what he paid for. I mean c'mon, it's $100.

Is the Magni 3/Modi 2 combo overkill for the DT 770?

Not sure...better ask Renato Fury!

It's a good match for the 250 Ω version; even on low gain some people don't turn the volume past 12 o'clock. The other versions are fine too, but you'll use even less of the volume range with those.

Yup! I know it’s great for both my 598s and 650s...

Well, what matters is to be happy right, and by the way, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Does anyone else leave this thing on 24/7? I leave my Modi Multibit powered up, but usually shut off the Magni 3 and turn it back on before I am going to use it. I left it on for a few days then used it today, it seems to sound much better with my pretty new still HD6xx (It didn't sound bad before, but I seem to hear a clear improvement). I may be going crazy, not trying to make any claims, just trying see what the consensus is.

I leave my DACs on 24/7 but I turn off my amps.
