I had the Uber2 Schiit stack in my office. Fantastic value. Had a dacmsgic + before that. Schiit delivers for sure.
Where Can I buy a top quality Power adapter for Magni 2 Uber ?
Where Can I buy a top quality Power adapter for Magni 2 Uber ?
What are the downsides of the regular Magni 2?.
On paper this seems like more than enough for casual listening. I use Beyer DT250/250, HD600, K712. Actually, I use HD380's mostly, but those don't care what i feed them
thanks!
Personally, ... I would not base the purchase on the sonic differences between the Magni 2 and Magni 2 Uber -
there are differences ! In my opinion, these differences are notable... I heartily recommend the Magni 2 Uber.
Spend the $50 extra, not because your headphones need more power to drive.
Do it because the sound is simply better, and it will save you from any desire to upgrade down the road. ...
16VAC / 500mA: For Magni, Magni 2
14VAC / 1500mA: for Magni 2 Uber
Hi ! thanks a lot for the very interesting advice
Could you give some more details about the differences ? I mean ... better bass ? more transparent ?
Moreover I see that the two models use very different transformers with the Uber version drawing 3 times more current.
Does it run hotter than the basic version ? higher bias current maybe ?
I have the basic Magni 2 that I like.
Thanks again, gino
At 50 Ohms the Uber's headphone power increase is just 0.8 dB, nothing to lose sleep over. At any impedance the power differences are small when you calculate it in dB. Both have what is essentially a flat FR.
The differences in distortion are far too low for a human to perceive any difference. The Uber has a nicer finish (cosmetic) and preamp outputs.
