Listening with the MM2 and the Nitsch Piety...pretty decent pairing here.
Not much difference between NOS and Non NOS here.
Good ole Bill Whithers "I want to Spend The Night ...." really excellent.
Wide open spacious...wonderful recording.
Using Rad 0's...
Ah life is good!

The only problem that I have after buying the MM2 is what do I do with my Modi 3+?

 

[adydula]

sell it, give it to a friend, put it away and bring it out in a few months and be surprised how good it really "was" or "is"..
LOL!

Such problems. Good job on your review.

I have Sennheiser Massdrop HD6XX and have never really enjoyed them compared to most of my headphones. They do come alive once I run them with tons of power but they never have ever sounded good out of the single ended outputs of any of my amplifiers.
I just acquired Sennheiser HD600 as a Christmas present to myself. Already, straight out of the box I love the way HD600 makes music sound.
.
My HD6XX come off as having warmer, and close intimate staging. However, it seems all wrong and flawed compared to what I hear in my higher end headphones that create warmth in a more agreeable manner. My HD600 seem much more open not intimate but wide open stage and clear balanced image. I can't wait to put the HD600 through some amplifiers to hear what it can do. Especially on some tube amps.

The tastefully done, rich and velvety sound of the 650 is an acquired taste in my opinion, after spending a long time getting to really know them everything else just sounds less enjoyable.

I guess for some. I used my 650 headphones for a couple of years and they're very good but I like the 600 headphones better. It's all subjective.

Ah...299$ in US and 450 euros in Europe, this is 60% more expenssive here, so sad, so unfair. With VAT and customs fees it should be 25-30% more, but 60%?
For example Valhalla 2 is 399$ and 429 euros.

Test Listening this morning with MMB2 and the Schiit Magni 3 + vs Nitsch Piety.
Level matched and using the Schiit Sys for switching.
Jriver Music Player this am.
My Oreo Cookie test stack!

Results are close but the Piety is just a tad softer all around.
The Magni 3 + is indeed a tad sharper or clean all around.
Both are great.
Depends on your cans and source material to break the tie.
The MMB2 dac is working flawlessly here.
Most listening is done of course with cans on, but if u do switch tunes with different
resolution/sample freq u will hear a relay click. Normal.

My Mimby 2 should be here next week! Very excited to hear how it pairs with my piety, and also to see if I can tell a difference between piety on motu m2, qudelix, or mimby 2!

You should turn your SYS volume up all the way if you're just using it as a switcher, otherwise you'll be throwing away over half of the MM2's output level if you leave its volume knob centered.

@XERO1

With the SYS, there is no audible difference in SPL that I can hear or measure at 12 O'Clock vs at 5 O'clock full clockwise.
I dont like to turn a pot to its extreme if not really needed.
Interesting....

The sys is fully passive, no amp involved. You should be good to turn it up all the way

Just lets the full current through, as opposed to restricting it
