Quick question. Does the Modi do 16/88.2 and 24/88.2?
On a different note, I'm hoping the Magni will have a 230V option soon.

Any impressions yet? I'm highly interested in just the DAC.
It uses a power brick so if anyone can post the specs of the 120v version you can just look for another brick that takes 220/230/240v input with the same DC output for the amp.
The power input on the Magni is 16 VAC, not 16 VDC as the amp incorporates its own PSU with linear regulation and filter caps. All you need is a stepdown transformer, not a DC wall wart.
I am new to this forum and the hi fi market. I just got my first CIEMs (Westone ES5) and love them. I use both a MAC and a PC and am wondering if I will really notice a big difference if use an external DAC like the Modi? Also, will I need to get an amp like the Magni if I do add the DAC? Any help or advice would be welcome!
I also want to state that I have found this forum to be one of the more useful ones I have joined. Great reviews and a lot of information out there.
Actually, this is a great question. We cause some people a lot of consternation because they expect us to participate in Black Friday sales, holiday promos, summer sales, package deals, loyalty programs, etc. The reality is that every one of those programs has exactly three effects:
1. It makes everyone wait for the sales, so suddenly your company is addicted to sales.
2. It makes everyone who bought before the sales wonder if they got screwed.
3. It makes everything cost more.
Read #3 again. The simplest sales model is one where everything is a fixed cost, no sales, no promos, no special package deals, no loyalty programs. And simple is inexpensive. Simple means we don't have to pass the cost along to you. Anytime we do a sale, start a promo, offer a package deal, or start a loyalty program, we're adding cost to our products.
That's why we have one price list, no discounts, no sales, no promos--because it passes the savings along to everyone.
