Does anyone know if the Schiit Magni 2 has a gain switch on it? I would very much like to buy the Modi2/Magni2 but the headphones I would be using would be efficient and have about 35-40 ohms... I don't want it to be too powerful as that would be really annoying to use.

If there is nothing wrong the drive, it should be exactly the same. If you use a program like dBpoweramp or Exact Audio Copy, you can program it to check the AccurateRip database to verify that the data from each rip is identical to rips by others.
Yes, both the Magni 2 and Magni 2 Uber have a gain switch.
This very moment, I'm using the Magni 2 Uber on high gain with my QC15, which already has a built-in amp! It still sounds much better out of my Schiit stack, probably more from the DAC than the amp.

YKYAAW you go to the mall to go the audio store
YKYAAW the audio store you go to is out of business
Sound Lion at The Rockingham Mall in Salem, NH, is no longer there, sadly. I wanted to try some of their stuff with my new X1. I didn't even get to try the HD558 at the Best Buy nearby because their headphone wall thing was just moved and wasn't working. The day was saved, however, by getting 4 CDs and watching the EPIC Pats vs. Ravens game at a Chunky's theater.

There's only one audio store in like my entire state and it isn't even that good. Its about an hour away I think. I haven't been but would love to go.

I heard the HD 558 recently along with half a dozen or so other headphones in the $100-$300 range. Despite being the most affordable, the HD 558 sounded far better than all the others. That being said, I still like my QC15 more.

Is... is that you? Brother from another... thread, I guess. Long time no anime... converse. I don't think that's correct, but I'm sticking with it because I'm really tired.
YKYAAW you rave at somebody who works at the post office about how excited you are to try out your new Little Dot, and they eventually have to ask you to leave because you've been rambling at them for almost an hour.

There's at least some sort of audio store in every 50k+ population city where I live. The quality and selection can be questionable, though. Especially as there are 2 chains that sell audio goods. They kinda dominate the market.

YKYAAW you decide to sell the Sennheiser HD 590 Prestige because you really wanted the Focal Spirit Professional.
(If anyone wants the only one available for sale on the Internet, you can snatch it up here.)

I was sad to see Sound Lion go! It was replaced with a toy store!

YKYAAW you make a bid on it for $1. If no one wants it you get it for nothing!

"Or best offer" doesn't mean you can get it for the highest low bid; it means you can make an offer, and if the seller accepts it, it's a deal.

Yeah but, see, you said if nobody wants it you'll keep it. But me and him want it, so I'll bid $2!
In the Rockingham Mall it was replaced by some sign shop (why would anyone need a novelty sign shop..?)
