My Schiit will be here Monday. The 600s can hardly sit still. Now I have to break it to my girlfriend.

Is she a redhead named Peg?
Good one. I wish. I could prob out run her with the SHOES she wares.
So I finally got the new magni 2 uber and i'm still getting a dimming from the led when inserting the headphone plug not sure whats causing it tried different outlets in my house with the same results. I'm keeping the amp the reason why is at least i'm not getting a severe clipping sound from the headphones when removing them. The imbalance at low volume is not to my liking so far i've only tried a pair of sony 7506 later this evening I will try my dt 770 pro and k702 I feel like the imbalance wasn't this bad on the first unit that was given to me will give the amp a bit more time to see how it goes..hear how it goes
Can someone comment on ODAC vs Modi 2 Uber?
The ODAC is lacking when it comes to digital inputs. There is no ODAC that has both optical and USB inputs, so you have to choose between the two. Actually, I can't even find the ODAC Optical anymore!
In contrast, the Modi 2 Uber has USB, optical, and coaxial inputs. This makes it an all-in-one kind of machine. To top it off, it supports 24/192 output as opposed to the ODAC's 24/96 maximum. Go for Modi 2 Uber!
In other news, the Magni 2 Uber is purdy in the dark.
What is your source and what is the gain levels you're using them at? Even with line level sources I'd think that on low gain (which is only 1.5x gain) the volume knob would be easily past the typical channel imbalance zone (lower than 9'o clock)... if you're getting audible channel imbalance past that there's definitely something wrong with your amp.
I have the amp on high it definitely does a better job at driving the dt 770 pro speaking of which having it on high will not dim the led when inserting the headphone plug funny noone here mentioned it?
Strange, I have minne on low gain and the LED light does not dim for me when plugging/unplugging the headphones.
haven't tried putting it high gain at all yet though. Would be way too loud, I'm listening at 8-9 o'clock as it is.. my cans are pretty easy to drive.
That is strange have you tried something with a higher impedance?
How close is the Magni 2 UBER to ASGARD 2?
