Well the Questyle arrived yesterday. I want to say first off the build quality seems really high, frankly it made my Magni/Modi look like they'd been assembled in a shed in comparison. The amp stayed surprisingly cool, and the volume knob was beautifully smooth. I detected no noise or hiss, nor noticeable imbalance at low volumes (my Magni is worse for this, for sure). Then again it's significantly more expensive, so it would be reasonable to expect that. It's great to look at too. Sound-wise, it seemed to perform very well, but having compared it extensively to my current stack over two evenings (in the best approximation of A/B testing I could manage), I had to reluctantly conclude that I couldn't detect a significant difference, or rather, not one substantial enough to be worth £800 to me. Maybe it's just my ears, the Magni was my first headphone amp so I don't have huge breadth of experience in gear. On the other hand I suppose I can return it and be better off by £800, and that buys a lot of music, so there's that. The plan had been to upgrade my home system and take the Schiit stack to work. I'll probably go about that a different way now.
