peter 123., thanks for thast,  you got me now...as I would be using the grado 325i and the senn hd 580.......damn

You can also get it from the Schiit website, I do believe that they have options for different power adapters (UK, EU etc) there as well.

One word of advice though: although the Magni is a great amp I find it to be one of ny least preferred ones for my Grado 325is but Ymmv......

Thing is that Schiit stuff is crazy expensive in europe. Prices don't translate into euros but into uk pounds. So 100usd is about 150usd when it get's here. It doesn't matter if you buy it through schiit.com or some european retailer. I've had some good experience with schiit stuff in the past but I don't know if I'd by it again because of the diminishing bang for the buck factor with the currencies, taxes and stuff... Rather have something shipped from china.

Actually, things improved a few months ago. The UK dealer is http://www.electromod.co.uk/schiit-audio/ and, although their prices were pounds for dollars a while back, they aren't too bad now. Worth checking, anyway.

Yeah, I know it might be import duties but that is different for each country so where you live and the prices you local dealer (if there's one) will devide whether it's logical or not to get it from the US. My intention was just to offer an option to Amazon.com where he could get it with a Uk plug.

If one wants the Magni it's not just to buy some random Chinese amp and hope for the same performance just to avoid taxes......

I believe there's a site called electromod I think which stocks schiit amps in the UK. Just Google Schiit magni UK and I think its the first search result. Either that or ebay, theres been a lot of Schiit products turning up on there recently.

I have been using NX1 mainly with KZ EDSE and ES (two el cheapo IEMs from China). They sound fantabulously awesome with improved sound stage, detail, and clarity.

Have also been using Havi B3 Pro 1s with NX1, they too sound pretty good with NX1 than using it directly on my audio sources.

My EDSE also sound much better with NX1. I also have B3 Pro1 but don't like its sound signature, it's pretty dry for me. Not a fun sound.

Anyone got any comparisons between the NX2 and the Fiio e18. I love my e18 but it's just too big really as an on the go solution for me. If the NX2 is comparable I might consider it. Things I am considering:
1. Is it as neutral as the NX1 as I actually like the warmer sound of the e18 with my ue900 which are primarily my on the go solution.
2. Does it suffer badly with emi as that would annoy me a lot if it was frequent when piggy backing a phone in my pocket.
3. What's the battery life like?
4. Is it compatible with the Note 3
Cheers guys!

I've just got this amp thank to you guys

. Very well built and sound good for its price. A little disappointed with the noise level when pairing with my Flat 4 Nami though (even on low gain). 
I gonna using it with the ipod shuffle and Iphone 4s, should i get the fiio LOD, will it improve the sound quality? And when connect to the headphone out should i lower the phone volume or set it on high?

I've always heard 75% volume on the source if you're using headphone out. I'd definitely get the FiiO LOD cable to use with the shuffle and 4S, it'll bypass the internal amps of the units and avoid unwanted coloration of the sound.

Just looked at NX2 topology and it is pretty much an NX1 without gain switch, plus an PCM2704 based DAC. I'll expect any kind of sonic difference will be minimum as a pure amp.

That's actually cool. Sticking to NX1's legacy, which is neutral sound. Amp should serve their purpose which is just amping.
