    My new setup (update!) Final thoughts and reviews

    Lets be real, mine isnt that clean all the time either. Add a coffee cup, coaster, my phone, a book or file I'm working with and a candy wrapper and thats probably what it looks like 90% of the time lol. Thanks for the compliment. :beerchug:

If you would like to see that thread then here you go: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/explain-like-im-5-please.930273/ but in summary, I had only ever owned a pair of Sony MDR XB500s and ATH-M50s without any...

    Perfect, I understand now. Thank you so much that was extremely helpful. And yes, everything is coming together quite nicely. As you can see I'm using this thread to draw upon you and others' vast amount of knowledge and experience. The setup is going to look very sleek. It is almost ready. I...

    Thanks I'm excited! I'm still loving the HD6xx with my Magni/modi it's awesome! You kinda lost me with the connections. Currently it's like this PC to DAC (modi) via Optical cable. DAC (modi) to amp (Magni) via RCA. Finally amp (Magni) to my ears via the HD 6xx headphones plugged into the...

    Perfect, found and ordered. So... Audio out via optical cable form pc to my MODI then rca to MAGNI now I can RCA out from magni into the Edifiers correct? Does running thr sound from my pc through the schiit stack do anything positive for the edifier 1700BT?

    I can't find that model (on Amazon). I did find the edifier 1280db for 130 though. How does that compare?

    Hmm thats interesting. My Desk IS wide. Its about 75 inches wide. So, if not the HS8s what are other high quality studio monitors for a computer setup that are "audiophile approved"?

    Adding the AK4490 increases the price of the asgard from 199 to 299. Leaving it with "no module" keeps it at 199$. Is it worth the extra 100$? Otherwise yes I have the RCA to TRS adapter, speakers, headphones (HD 6xx). So I'm getting closer!

    Explain like I'm 5 please

    I am revisiting this thread as I have begun collecting components. One question for you. When ordering the Schitt Asgard, there is an option to choose a module ak4490 DAC vs true multibit...there is also an option for voltage 115 vs 230. With regards to the later, I'm in the USA so I assume I'd...

    Well the only headphones I've owned are ath-m50s and Logitech UE-6000. I'm considering something like the HD 6xx as it seems it would utlize the upgrade in the equipment. The other contender is Fidelo X2/3.
