Headphoneus Supremus
So; here are my impressions of the Schiit Magni Uber 2/Modi 2 and Sennheiser hd598 and hd650.
Not really worth it. I mean; it sounds pretty good. But I hardly notice any difference straight from my imac. The hd650 is drivable, but it can't quite punch through the so called 'veil' everyone is talking about. It can't bring up the bass enough. The 598's have a 'background bass' which I would like to be a bit more punchy; but that's both the headphone's and the schiit's fault.
Can i return them with the reason "I can't tell the difference"? Do I wait for another headphone?
Lesson learned: get an amp with 'bass boost' options, because equalizer software is **** on mac.
You may wish to check out the HD598Cs closed back. I find it has a little more bass than the original HD598.
IMHO, YMMV, yada, yada, yada...
