ZMF VC's are one of the good pairings here for me...
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
new to the piety scene - sitting with the no1 in front of me with no4 (the big one) on order and arriving whenever it arrives...
Being a VERY happy Piety owner, the No 4 is on my radar and I'd be very interested in hearing how you think it compares with the Piety. My only headphones (for the time being) are the 99 Noirs which I love and if the Pietus makes them an even better pair of headphones then I'm basically all-in.Patiently waiting for no4 as well. No1 + Hugo2 + he400 (og) has been pretty much my daily for the past 3 months. The bass from this setup satisfies my basshead cravings. The little Piety continues to impress. Can't wait to hear the big brother.
I mean..... I do like the iFi iDSD line, they sound really good to me. So either case you can't go wrong.Welp, I'm caving. My office Schiit stack (MMB2, Loki Mini+, MagPi) is too good and I miss it too frequently so I'm bringing it back home. Or I'm at least bringing my Piety back home. I have a BF2 and Peace EQ at home, so I don't really need the MMB2 and Loki at home. I picked up an iFi iDSD Sig Finale to be my replacement office DAC/amp. We'll see how that pans out. I want something at the office that's good, but not SO good that I hate to leave it at work like the MagPi, lol.
I thought about it, but I've been really curious to hear an iDSD lately, especially with the Sig Finale dropping to $300 on Adorama. And this seemed like a great excuse to buy one, lolI mean..... I do like the iFi iDSD line, they sound really good to me. So either case you can't go wrong.
But you could also just buy another Magni Piety for home you know.
They're not limited anymore.
lol I mean I won't deny it, I've thought about buying it many times too. But I don't like battery powered things and I also already have desktop amps so I ended up getting Zen Dac Signature instead.I thought about it, but I've been really curious to hear an iDSD lately, especially with the Sig Finale dropping to $300 on Adorama.

I had the Soekris 1541, I find Soekris is very good at showing scale. Everything is very grand and large and huge soundstage.Soekris 2541 is very open and transparent with the Piety and VC's
ifi Zen Dac Signature version one. IMO it's a great sounding dac for the money. If you want a simple but really nice sounding NOS dac, the Audio By Van Alstine Insight from the late 2000's sounds quite nice and can be had used for about $300US.My MagPi needs company. Besides MMB2, suggestions?
Would they fit in that spot on top of the MagPi?ifi Zen Dac Signature version one. IMO it's a great sounding dac for the money. If you want a simple but really nice sounding NOS dac, the Audio By Van Alstine Insight from the late 2000's sounds quite nice and can be had used for about $300US.
Sorry just out of curiosity, did you not like the MMB2 pairing?My MagPi needs company. Besides MMB2, suggestions?
LOL the timing is crazy. I literally just bought a Zen Dac Signature V1 few days ago. Now I'm just waiting until it arrives.ifi Zen Dac Signature version one. IMO it's a great sounding dac for the money.
I currently only has the Zen Air Dac, it looks a little bit wider than the MMB2 next to it.Would they fit in that spot on top of the MagPi?
The ifi Zen Dac Signature should fit since it's similar in size to the Piety. However, I'd put the Zen Dac under the Piety so that the Piety's heat vents remain clear.Would they fit in that spot on top of the MagPi?
I've not had a DAC yet in that setup. I have enjoyed a Schiit Bifrost Uber and a Gungnir MB so I'm happy with the Schiit sound.Sorry just out of curiosity, did you not like the MMB2 pairing?

I own the original version of the ifi Zen Dac Signature and from what I have read it does have a different sound than the more recent version.I present you.......... iFi Schiit burger!
Not the same units but should be same dimension to demonstrate.
@Jimmyblues1959 could you elaborate a bit as to why v1 vs v2?
