How does the Magni 2 compare to the older Magni?
Is the price difference (£15) worth it for the newer version?

If it's at 15 pound difference, get the 2. If its end game and you plan on having it for a ver y long time, you'll be happy getting the best at the time. I had a Modi 2 uber and mangi 2 on order, canceled it and reordered but with both uber, haven't regretted it

Does anybody else find the Magni 2 Uber to have recessed vocals/highs? I'm struggling to hear vocals here...

Yes, my stack sounds like that too, I feel that after some training you dont even notice, i cant stop listening to my stack now, just a bit to get used to it.

Everything is at the same level though, what you are hearing is what some people call dull, or flat, or anylitical, or dry, or un-engaging. But its more true to reference and transparent. Like I said, after a bit of training, you'll learn to actually prefer it.

Thanks! i sure hope so... I was expecting a big step up from my Fiio E12 amp, but at first glance it seems that the E12 is better. I'll keep the uber for now and try to get used to it.

Of course popular music now a days is made with bad equipment in mind. Like the typical V shaped response, or more bass.

For instance, my zx-300 cans from Sony said "balanced tone". Literally the most bass heavy headphone I've listened to other then actual bass cans. But the overexposed (maroon5) album sounds perfect on it.

Except that I'm listening to Sultans of Swing and Pink Floyd, mastered files and definitely not the hip-hop of today

Thanks, then I'll get the Modi 2 + Wyrd combo since the Wyrd can benefit my other DACs as well.

As long as you don't need the added features of the Modi 2 U then you are good to go.

You can always plasti dip it in whatever colour you want and it's non permanent and will actually protect the chassis to boot. Just search plasti dip Schiit. I am considering doing this eventually though I certainly wouldn't use black.
Also for any Canadians considering the Uber stack it ends up being about $512.

Thx Gerafone, I was actually trying to figure out the end price with duty and shipping and you answered my question.
