thanks! don't think I have something like that for the KEF L50W :/
In this case, the preamp would be the Magni 3.

Check that your incoming volume settings are at least set to 90%. This includes your DAC volume if you can control it, but more importantly your PC volume settings and your audio player settings should be at least 90 % volume. Try that and check again. Also check that the cables are fully seated on your Sennheisers.I’m going to get it figured out. I know Schiit has a great reputation and makes excellent gear from all my research. I appreciate all the help and recommendations. I’m just getting started down this rabbitt hole of a hobby!
You could use something like this to split the output of the Mimby:thanks! I'll see how I can work that out I guess.
Using the Mimby to KEFs directly would mean that my Magni3 (and thus headphones) would have no access to the Mimby - there's only one pre-out on the Mimby
Those are both DAPs, but you are using them as DAC's?
.I should’ve said DAPs but they essentially serve as DACs for the amps…
But the DX80 can be used as a stand alone DAC/AMP, too.
If you had "compressed" imaging with the Magni 2U which amp(s) didn't have this "compression"? Given used with the same DAC/DAP.Previously, I used The Element by JDS Labs. Now, I just use my iBasso DX80 and Cayin N3 as DACs.
Other than that, I have an old Pioneer PL-570 record player and an old Yamaha CR-1020 receiver that I occasionally plug my headphones into.
.
I see. But if you use it at your desk hen why not have desktop equipment?
Oh okay, that makes sense then.I don't listen to my equipment at my desk. I don't like being fixed to one spot when I listen to music. That isn't to say I'm not interested in an amp like the Magni 3--the M3 is small; the only thing cumbersome about it is that wall wart.

If I got a DAP it would have to be something that supports spotify.
Right now I have a iPod touch and that does everything I need since most of my listening outside of the house is in my cars and the iPod has the best interface.
Makes sense, the ipod touch is actually great.Yeah a lot of DAPs are buggy which why I haven't upgraded. But you can use Spotify with the Cayin N3 if you pair it up with your phone.
Which DAPs were "buggy" to you? I still have my original Fiio X3 (crap interface but great sounding), Fiio X3ii (decent but does not sound as good as the X3) and 2 Fiio X1, haven't had any problems with any but aside from the X3 none were/are used on a daily basis. Also just "inherited" a ipod touch from an old GF and I don't like that I have to use iTunes to load music on it.Yeah a lot of DAPs are buggy which why I haven't upgraded.

My friend just got his Magni3 since it was too late to cancel the order so he said he'll give it a chance at his office for a few days and let me know what he thinks of it and might stop by to borrow my Asgard2.

thanks! what would you suggest to be a good volume to set the Magni3 at?
I always thought it should be 100% as any lower there's some vagueness and randomness to it :/
