  Pass-through RCA on Magni/Vali to be used with powered speakers/speaker amp. 

THIS THIS THIS....reason why I haven't bought magni/vali yet and Asgard 2 is out of my budget.

For cables that are just the right length and shape to connect the stacked Modi & Magni I would pay far more than they're worth.

An Electrostatic headphone amp please! Not all of us can afford a Blue Hawaii!

 

[xaval]

A robinette type box. Most people already have a speaker amp that they could use for headphones.

 

[StefanJK]

Passive preamp with XLR in/out.

You can get the Sys along with two of these http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021803&p_id=663&seq=1&format=2
 
I hook up the two RCA splitters to the Modi, and have cables going to the Sys which controls the powered speakers, and one going to the Magni

It's called an L-pad. There are a ton of schematics online on how to build one, and the design hasn't changed in decades.
 
Quite frankly, skip all the fanciness of the robinette box because there are still design flaws in there that will blow up unwary users.
 
If you're going to make a box, go from 4-pin to 4-pin, that's it. Anything that tries to go down to 3 pin is just asking for trouble and not something that any commercial company should be producing.

Oh Jason, while you're hard at work on a all-in-one disgusting mess

I want a usb to toslink/spdif converter please! I'd love to use my optical modi with my computer, which has no optical out, just usb hubs. I've tried off brand converters, not satisfied with the quality.

I'd be curious if this were possible powering via USB. If so, it would be a nice way to add "USB" connectivity to an optical DAC.

But if not, they'd be headed in the Wyrd Optical direction (USB decrapifier and USB-to-Optical converter). The only issue there is whether or not the market can justify such a product. Maybe? A USB Gen 2 installation sets you back $150. If a Wyrd Optical is less than that, then it sounds like a nice upgrade for a Bifrost/Gungnir with the only downside being the AC requirement.

Keep in mind, though, that the quality of USB audio is going to limit the quality of the output. I'm fairly confident that Optical > Output will sound better than USB > Optical > Output. The latter will--at best--be as good as the USB signal.

A preamp with phono stage to sit between the yggdrasil and ragnarok. Even better, outfit it with am/fm/hd tuners too.
