I'm making up a Christmas wish list and some Schiit is on it! (Not a lot of Schiit, my budget is limited to < $300.) The Modi is firmly on the list, but which amp is best for my needs, the Magni or Vali? My cans: UE TF-10s and Grado SR-80s. The TF10s are mostly used for travel but I will definitely want to use both with whichever amp gets chosen.
I'm a big fan of the tube sound (or the tube sound I remember from the old-school tubes amps of my youth) and the reports about the Vali's detail intrigue me. However, Schiit says the Vali isn't particularly well suited for IEMs and low-impedance cans like the SR-80s so also noted as a not-particularly good match for the Vali.
I've searched around and can't find any feedback on the Vali-TF10 or Vali-SR80 combos -- anyone have any thoughts/experience with these? Or should I just get the Magni and be happy? Thanks in advance!
