It's a slippery slope called Head-fi...
 
I started with the Rolls HA43 Pro which is a decent 4-channel mixer style headphone amp that I only use now for shared headphone listening with one of my friends.
 
Looking back on the HA43 I had to put volume knob at around 8, on the 1-10 volume knob and it still was barely able to power the DT880.
 
Glad that entry-level headphone amps start now at $100 and you can get something that is far better than a Rolls HA43 Pro($50) that is a major leap in power too (such as the Magni Uber/Vali)
 
Having an awesome sounding budget setup is fairly affordable now compared to previous Head-fi(before 2010) of overglorified $1000+ DACs with pathetic output stages.

I just got my MODI from fedex and paired it with the VALI that I got a few months ago using USB to drive it from my IMAC through my ATH-M50's and WOW! I'm loving the sound!!! My first steps into the audiophile world are amazing! But how do you all afford it???

Looks like my Valhalla 2 is back ordered.

Not just the Valhalla 2,  all of the amps except the Magni 2 and Vali.

I'm in the same boat, first it was 7-10 days, now it's the end of March... I'm sure it will be worth the wait, but I am terrible at being patient.

Yep! I'm excited! Let's share our experiencies when we get ours! I'll be using the dt880/600.

You guys will love the V2.
 
Built like a tank. Sounds so accurate and yet orgasmic for what it is worth.
 
Worth the wait.
 
I had mine back-ordered too when I purchased it last December.
Received early this year.

EU says March 15th delivery but let's see if I'm part of the V2 club next week.

Based on my DIY experiences with TPA3116 speaker amps, I'd love to see a Vallhalla 2 sized amp made by Schiit.

 

[Sillyness]

My Schiit stack is arriving today! Woohoo! Coming in the package will be a Magni 2U, Vali, Modi 2U, Wyrd, and Sys.
 
Does this make me a Schiithead?
 
I was going to post a quick screeny of the "out for delivery" page, but my account still doesn't have the required permissions.

Quick question. I'm wondering if there's any reason I should use the Magni 2U over the Sys as a pre-out for my powered monitors. Currently, I'm planning on using the Sys.

Thanks, everyone!

I am actually planning on using mine as a preamp for the DIY TPA3116 speaker amp that I have on my desktop. I'd love to share my listening experiences.

Absolutely. I think this is a perfect extension of the Asgard / Valhalla / Lyr + Bifrost stack.  

 

[wahsmoh]

That would truly be amazing. For people with passive speakers and limited space, an affordable power amp made in the USA would be so fitting.

Welcome to Club Schiit, may your stack of Schiit always put a smile on your face and drown out the sobbing lamentations of your wallet.

Dunno, that might canabalize sales of the $1700 16 x 12 x 3.75” Ragnarok
