Schiit Fulla 2 Impressions Thread

They make a good combo, the Fulla 2 gives them a little more energy, they sound a bit less laid back than with my M-Stage 

 
Still feeling good about the Fulla 2 and Nighthawk synergy?

Yeah, I feel like my initial impressions are holding up well, there's a bit of extra clarity with my Nighthawks compared to my previous set-up

Great - thanks! The Fulla 2 is proving to be rather tempting. I'd like to also listen to my NIghtwaks in balanced mode some day, but I suppose there are other amp options that I could add into the chain if I ever really feel the need.

Wow. Really interested in your impressions.

Huh, i think no way this Fulla2 is better, the m9xx have got more bells . It will go to my 2 channels spk setup with CCA optical in.

It looks like Fulla 2 and Modi 2 is using the same USB Chip(C-Media CM6631A) as well as the DAC chip (AKM AK4490).
If installing a driver on Windows can get Modi 2 to support 24/192 sample, will it be possible to use the same driver and make Fulla 2 to support 24/192 on PC?

Im curious about the power rating in the spec, whether is base on with or without the input of USB power?

 
It's the same either way- either it draws 500mA or 0mA from the host, depending on whether you have the power socket in use. If you're using the power socket, it draws 500mA from that. The power output of the actual unit is surprisingly close to what it draws, too- it's very efficient.

Ok thanks, do you know of any good power banks to power F2? I have Anzer brand, wondering any power bank built for audio?

If  you are questioning the ability of the fulla 2  to drive High impedance cans, I am Currently Driving Beyerdynamic, DT990 600 Ohm HP's with the Fulla 2. With Albums that are recorded on the louder side, it is way more than enough. Volume at 12 o clock is getting a little to loud. With Albums that are not loudness" Enhanced " You will need to get it up near the 3- 4 O clock position for a loud enough to enjoy but not loud enough to hurt level. The DT990's are meant to pair with My Valhalla 2 Once the Freya comes out, but I was curious.

I have Fiio X3 2nd Gen. I am looking for amp for HifiMan HE-400i. I was about to pull trigger for Fiio A5. Then I came across Fulla 2. I don't have DAC/AMP for desktop. I am planning to use Fulla 2 as desktop dac/amp and as a portable amp with Fiio X3(Using Power bank for power source). Is it a good choice to have Fulla 2 or I will be better off with Fiio A5? 
My headphones are Hifiman HE-400i, Audio Technica ATH-M40x and ATH-MSR7.
