Schiit N Music
Tuesday Night

Continued listening: Magni+ vs Magni Piety
Modi 3E as DAC
My ears, my mood, my condition, my kit and music; tonight.

FiiO X5 coax out -> Modi 3E -> Y split -> Magni+ and Magni Piety
Beyerdynamic DT 1350, 80 ohm
Sennheiser Amperior, 18 ohm

Beyerdynamic preferred with the Magni+ (high gain)
Sennheiser preferred with the Magni+ (low gain, not negative gain)
Both of these headphones are bass emphasized; the clarity of the Magni+ works best

Winning moment = Jim Croce; "Operator" - on the Sennheiser and Magni+.

These comparisons have a purpose.
A revisit of my Dry Box portable audio kit.
Deciding if it should be a two Schiit amp kit or a simplified one Schiit amp kit.
Based on the headphones it appears that a one amp kit will work.
The kick in the Asgard is that now I am thinking a Loki+ should join in.

Dry Box Portable Kit:
AC available -
FiiO X5 coax out -> Modi 3E -> Magni+
Battery required -
CLAS R / iPod G5 256GB SS Mod / Alo RX dB
Centrance HiFi-M8 / iPod G5 256GB SS Mod
Headphone options -
Beyerdynamic DT 880 Premium Limited (250 ohm)
HiFiMan HE 400SE (25 ohm)
Oppo PM-3 [2nd] (26 ohm)
Sennheiser Amperior (18 ohm)
Beyerdynamic DT 1350 v2 (80 ohm)
HiFiMan Edition S (18 ohm)
IEMs

The Magni+ is a very versatile great sounding amp.
The Magni Piety is a wonderful great sounding amp that will stay at home to play with the big boys and girls.


Enjoy the Schiit N Music

Can that, which cannot be measured, even exist?

Everything that is audible is also measurable.

Only, not for all phenomena measurement methods may exist.

 

[Erratic Gravy]

I must be a misfit.
I have a problem with devices that listen and or watch.

so its a bit like being married then !!

Tonight's Syn-full song recommendation:

Long Distance Run Around...... Yes

what a coincidence - Me too - sans Syn ! but still FAB !! Chris Squire's bass is superb on this track !!

 

[Erratic Gravy]

Using AI text-to-video could end up taking us some very bad places:

Those are the contents of my nightmares !!! - truly disturbing - LSD like - neaaayaaaah

 

[Ohno Schiitizen]

How can Jason trained the AI to keep its lip tight for Mjolnir 3....??

Like this? https://www.schiit.com/guides/discontinued-products

I mean yeah sure, if all you want is a fan page that hasn't been updated in literally years.

 

[KoshNaranek]

Yeah, we probably need to do some retraining. I've engaged our in-house AI Prompt Engineer, Lisa, to work on the base prompt and to add additional boilerplate documents to help out. We'll see where it goes.

In the meantime, someone got it to write "the ballad of Jason Stoddard" on another site:

Write a song called "The Ballad of Jason Stoddard" about how Jason Stoddard conquered the audio industry marketing monster

Well, that sounds like a fun challenge! Let me see what I can come up with for "The Ballad of Jason Stoddard."

(ahem)

Verse 1: There was a man named Jason Stoddard Who faced a beast that left him scarred The audio industry's marketing game Was a monster that he aimed to tame

Chorus: But Jason was no ordinary man He had a plan, he had a plan To make Schiit that would stand apart And conquer the beast with all his heart

Verse 2: He teamed up with Mike Moffat too Together they knew just what to do They designed products that were fun and bold And didn't follow the industry's mold

Chorus: But Jason was no ordinary man He had a plan, he had a plan To make Schiit that would stand apart And conquer the beast with all his heart

Verse 3: They made amps and DACs and preamps too And personal audio that was brand new They refused to play by the industry's rules And made Schiit that was loved by audiophiles

Chorus: But Jason was no ordinary man He had a plan, he had a plan To make Schiit that would stand apart And conquer the beast with all his heart

Verse 4: Now Jason's Schiit is known far and wide For its quality and its unique stride He conquered the beast with his Schiit And made the audio industry take a seat

Chorus: But Jason was no ordinary man He had a plan, he had a plan To make Schiit that would stand apart And conquer the beast with all his heart

Outro: So here's to Jason Stoddard, a true audio hero Who conquered the beast with his Schiit, don't you know He showed us all that with a little heart and soul You can make Schiit that's worth its weight in gold.

I imagine this being sung by the Late Johnny Cash

Where do we get the album?

Maybe Schiit Talker can do it as an AC/DC song with Bon Scott style vocals

… or Schittahs With Attitude … ‘straight outta valencia’
