What third party they look greatThis is from a third party
What made you randomly decide that combo considering the fact that you have much better gear already. Sometimes I think about buying a cheap combo as a back up for when the repairs take place so I am not "out of the game"
well, this was a pleasant surprise indeed..

That... and also to be able to contrast/compare and appreciate the differences between higher end gear and mid/lower end gear.
I got the Schiit stack to place in my office. I figured I won't get much listening time there, perhaps less than a half hour a day cumulative in between work.
well, I'll be honest and say my post above was just a "for fun" post, and it can't match up to my full sized setups.
but that's the thing, because 1. i wasn't expecting it to, and 2. even though it doesn't match up, it still gets maybe 90 to 95percent of the way there. sure, it is missing that teensiest bit of pinpoint imaging, missing that extra tiny bit of soundstage and 3d sensation, perhaps just a little bit less airy and maybe just a tad less separation and layering. but for 400 bucks..??
and in case anyone is wondering, I'll straight up say it, yes the Magnius can drive the Abyss, and well. on high gain I'm just touching 12 on the knob. the kicker is, I don't think I'm missing out on much running the abyss from this stack lol (this was for the "it can drive the abyss, but can it drive it well?" group).
If I were to sell this stack at a 25-50 percent loss/discount on the classifieds a few weeks down the road, at that price I don't think I would worry too much about it. I don't think I could say the same for the other items in my signature..
i was speaking with Sajid about it and I think this stack can do the job for the majority of headphone users out there. sometimes I think we're so caught up in chasing the newest, expensive pricey options or flavour of the month, we overlook some of the true bargains out there.
I have no qualms in writing the above given I have some decent gear to compare it to.
Takes a lot of courage to write this. Kudos to you for that.even though it doesn't match up, it still gets maybe 90 to 95percent of the way there.
I am and I like the presentation personally. The modest power rating of the MHA200 is continuous into every headphone and it powers the TC’s rather easily. The volume seems to logarithmic and ramps up very fast after 1 o’clock. Providing amp power into all my headphones. It fills up the TC‘s with classic McIntosh sound. The sound is full bodied and it plays well to the TC’s technicalities.Anybody pairing abyss 1266TC with Mcintosh MHA 200. Please share you experience
Did you say a lot of courage? Then what would you call what it takes to face a charging Russian tank? On some level I understand what you mean perfectly, but the word "courage" could almost imply that posting one's honest impressions on head-fi might come close to accomplishing some war-front heroics!Takes a lot of courage to write this. Kudos to you for that.
i don't know....for me, i don't think is good pairing, i like it more with grado RS1X (for vocal and live music).I am and I like the presentation personally.

May i know what DAC do you use?! I use Mcintosh MCD 85.I am and I like the presentation personally.
