Hey guys, would Schiit Magni will be an upgrade over Fiio E9,  what's your opinion on this ? 

 
The Fiio E9 kinda sucks. I know this just coming off of one, listening to my new ODAC / O2 combo. It has pretty weird impedance issues (something like 42 ohms output resistance on the 3.5mm jack), and it isn't the most clear or transparent amp.

If the Magni is anywhere near as good as the O2 is, it'll be a huge upgrade.

Just wondering, what do you use to connect the modi and the magni together?


Standard RCA interconnects, like the Pyst cables that Schiit sells for twenty bucks a pair:



EDIT: D'OH!

Thanks Tus-Chan. Ordered a Magni

It keeps costs down I guess? I wouldn't think that some cheap cables would be too much to put in with the package? Probably want you to spend mony on their own cables I guess.

Yeah. i'm looking on amazon and bestbuy and i don't see any 6" (inch, not feet) RCA cables. Schiit has them, but they're $20....
