And IEMs too?
Yes. We’ve tested extensively with IEMs, and Magni’s noise floor is low enough for many of them, except for the very sensitive products.
 
From there website...
 
I wonder if that means the UM Miracles are to sensitive? They are 16Ohm...

This really puts the O2/ODAC on the backburner.  Cheaper than the fully built and leagues ahead in aesthetics.  Brilliant move releasing this during the holidays.

 
I wouldn't immediately dismiss the O2/ODAC combo quite yet.  It is a stack that gives you incredibly clear and competent sound for a really good price.  I still like my HDP over the O2/ODAC stack, especially now with the Sigma 11, but the HDP/S11 is twice the price.  This stack certainly has looks and raw power, but I really want to see what else they can bring to the table.

Too cute, had to order a set.

Yeah, this could crush the O2 as the entry level recommendation. Very appealing.

Just ordered the Magni and Modi. Looking forward to my first stationary amp and dac.

if so, I found my amp, cause I'm on a budget and this is much cheaper than the O2, plus looks stunning

  1. Distortion... depends on tested loads, how it scales at higher volumes, but at normal listening volumes I'd guess it's not an issue

According to Jason, that's the distortion of the amp with the wallwart, so with a linear power supply, that could be quite an improvement

hey guys! I asked them how it paired with the 600 ohm Beyers (I'm getting the DT880) and within minutes Jason Stoddard responded:
 
 

 
That there really hyped me, i think I'll pull the trigger by this week when I have the cash

Looks very nice, was also considering an O2 within the next month, going to wait for some reviews to pop up on this now though :]
