Apparently I've been a member on here since 2014? I guess I registered here when I purchased by second pair of DT 990's.
Anyway I've been driving my headphones off onboard Asus Z270F audio since the beginning of the year and while it was decent the volume and power was definitely lacking. I could max out the volume and still get no where close to my limit of loudness.
I decided I wanted to step up my audio game and get a little more serious about this. Picked up a Schiit Magni 3 and Modi 2 late last week. I REALLY lucked out on this as I was bidding on a Magni 2 and Modi 2 stack non ubers on eBay with a max bid of $150. After getting out bid I said screw it for this much I'd rather just buy brand new. Headed over to Schiit's website and realized the Magni 3 had literally just come out a few days ago.
I'm really happy with this setup but already looking at different headphones and I'm probably trying to go too fast as I was looking at HD800S' LCD-X/LCD-3.
I'm considering stepping up to DT 1990's, LCD-2.2, HD650's or even HD800's non S version as I believe that's a more realistic upgrade path.
