Hello all, this is my first forum post. I have lurked on this forum for a couple years and have found great information and finally decided to make an account.
I have a question about my specific listening setup. I am currently listening with Sennheiser HD 650's and a Schiit Modi and Vali stack (both first generation) for my laptop. I recently moved my Marantz DV8400 SACD/DVD player upstairs to my desk to use with my Schiit Vali as well. Since my DV8400 lacks HDMI connectivity, it doesn't get much use in my home theater arrangement anymore. I figured it would make an excellent physical audio disc player. My question is whether or not I would benefit upgrading my first generation Schiit Modi DAC to either the Schiit Modi 2 or step up to the Bifrost to connect to my Marantz? Or is running my DV8400 right in to my existing Vali about as good as it gets? I have a stack of SACD and DVD-Audio discs that sound good right now.
Thanks for the input, I appreciate it!
