Most PC's have lousy amps, so there no mystery to that improvement. May laptop has a surprisingly good DAC and AMP but not still not up to decent external gear. I'm thinking of getting a Schiit Bifrost with the USB and Uber audio options, in the next week or two.
What guitar is that in your avatar?

It's my one true love: my Ibanez JEM 7vWH.

It look like the Steve Vai model?

The JEM series is the Steve Vai (signature) series; those are the guitars he uses

By the way guys, the black (rubber?) square with 4 things sticking out I assume are the feet, but they are attached to each other? Am I supposed to cut them myself?

 

[LCfiner]

they peel off the back paper independently. you just need to lift one off with your fingers. no cutting needed

 

[kcazbarach]

yes they're rubber feet, and u just peel them off. no cutting necessary.

You were using the SPDIF input?

No I'm using the USB to USB in the Bifrost. But mate, you've just given me my next item to buy, a USB to SPDIF bridge . I have one for the Gungnir/Mojo but completely forgot to get one for the Bifrost/Lyr/Vali.

I use the Vali with the Bifrost. Indeed a great match. Realized I had not put my Uber and Gen 2 USB boards in. I'm sure it should sound even better after the upgrade.

 
I ordered the same combo as you. Mine should be arriving in another day or so. What headphones are you using with it?

Plug them in already!

So I've finally got a Vali.
 
Using them with my modded T50RP makes them sound good, but nothing that blows me. I use an Aune T1 as a DAC. I wonder if my drivers are blown or there's some problem with my T50RP(which isn't the case most likely) or most probably I'll have to adjust to the Vali. I expected a lot perhaps.
 
But even though it's the first hour, I'm listening a ton of things I couldn't notice earlier, or maybe I'm just paying too much attention now.
 
Obligatory, ringing mention, very rare ringing on a solid surface, thankfully. Damn is the Vali small.
 
edit: read the rubber feet posts above

Mate, how are you ? I'm trying believe me, but I made the huge "mistake" of buying the Stax 007 mk1 and the SR 717 amp and I just can't put down the HP.

Tell us the real truth, you're knee deep in Ras Malai and can't get away from the dinner table.

So you prefer a Vodka Lassi? One too many of that and you'll color the sound too much.
I have a feeling that I will find my way to an Indian restaurant this weekend.
