I use the modi 1 and magni 2 uber with my Fidelio X1 and they pair really well. I still eq the bass a little because the X1 are extremely bass heavy so I think the magni will work perfecfly with the x2. The magni are very transparent yes (some call it bright because they dont add warmth) and do not distort the sound in any way. Personally I think the magni goes very well with darker headphones.

That sounds perfect, exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you for the response. It really does seem like every other amp+dac combo I've tried either adds warmth or has killed highs, I figured that the Schitt stack is what would fit the bill for me and the headphones I own.

There are a number of player apps for iOS that have extensive EQ. I guess Spotify isn't one of them.

Any you could recommend?

For iOS, just a few:
Onkyo HF Player - has a free version, easy to use EQ. Draw the EQ on screen, 11 bands. Paid version does hirez formats.
Neutron Music Player - paid - Parametric EQ
SmartEQ - paid - 10 band EQ

Try Onkyo HF Player free first. No investment required.

Looks like a good start. SmartEQ seems to be free as well now, but has an in-app purchase to remove ads.

Here they are, at my girlies, plugged into the TV, as its the only thing that has an optical. Grabbed what ever CD I could find

Wow, first true headphone amp and DAC I've ever used. I have no clue what band this is, but I done care

What kind of headphones are those? Is that some sort of aftermarket headband pad attached to it or is it part of the unit? I've been looking for something like that, not sure if that's part of the gear or you bought separately.

Looks like I got a modi coming in on monday. Now I just need to find someone that's selling a magni 2 and I'll be all set up!

Looks like a T50RP, extra head padding, and different ear pads.

Modi 2 U just arrived. I'm getting used to it yet. I don't have an USB cable =T 
I'm using macbookpro's optical out. I can hear the separation a little better (more air? maybe). 
---- forget what I said. I just changed in MIDI Controls the sampling rate to 192khz/24bit. Gosh, there's more detail and air!!! 
 
I'm happy so far =) 

Although I want to check out the difference through USB and Toslink

I just received a pair of of the uber models, and while it sounds great through my mac mini, I'm getting bothered by the fact that the finish of the cases don't match. Anyone else have that? I know can be a little obsessive compulsive, but it's getting to me, probably as much if not more than the fact that the original versions were painted/powder coated :\

In terms of finish, my Modi 2 Uber and Vali are identical.

liraop: toslink and usb should be identical, bit for bit...?

Yes! Modi is slightly larger than magni2.
 
 
I'm really loving the sound. Reverb effects and ambience is better. This is awesome!

Sorry, I wasn't suggesting the sizes are different. If they are, it seems negligible to me. My Magni though does have a more yellowed tint to it than my modi which seems noticeably more neutral. The brushed finish is visibly and physically smoother on the Modi than it is on the Magni as well. Does anyone know if this was as apparent with the Asgard and Bifrost?
