How would Magni/Modi combo go with a set of AH-D600? 
 
For use in Australia (230v) would I be better getting a 230v to 16vac power supply, or get a 230v to 110v adapter and use the supplied power supply?

Not ideal with the HD650.  Very closed sounding.  Detail is ok.  The cMoy has a slightly better sound stage and even slightly better bass impact with the 24v adapter.

 
So... O2?

What amp for $99 (or less) has a great synergy with the HE-500 and puts out over 1000 mwatts ?

 
$99 is price on the US but not in my region, the price is going up around $150 - $200 for the Magni on my region

It is not sold in your region.   Anyone selling it is buying retail and re-selling - that is why they are getting $150-$200.   According to the Schiit web site:
 
Quote:
Only that this amp is designed exclusively for direct sale in the US market. We don’t have 230V-compatible wall warts on tap for all the different plug types around the world. We only sell a 115V version for the USA.

So, the poster before you who is waiting for it to come to his local store is going to wait a long time too.

looks like these won't do well with sensitive IEMs like the O2? 
 
can someone confirm?

Running Usb >> gamma2 >> magni >> HE-400, if I turn the magni on while the gamma2 is hooked up, it disconnects it from the computer, and I have to unplug/replug the Usb. There is also a small pop, but not much. Is this a grounding issue? Is it equipment-hazaardous?

I would suggest you email Schiit regarding your issue ASAP.
Please let us know what they say.

Hmm, no such behavior noted here with Modi and other USB DACs. Gamma2 is a DIY product, right? Is it possible there's something wrong with the Gamma2? Regardless, if you want, we can take a look at your Magni--just contact us directly.

Jason, any reason why the status on purchasing the Magni/Modi hasn't changed since the 13th? I just wanna make sure it's nothing wrong on my end, or Paypal. I don't mind if it's on your end and just have a very busy time shipping these out. Just making sure it's all ok.

5-7 business days last Wednesday...sooooo...today the floodgates open, most orders including Modi should be cleared by Friday.
