I have had my Valhalla 2 for nearly 3 years and thoroughly enjoyed the first year while working from home. It sat for over a year without use after going back to the office and adding some solid-state equipment. Went to listen to the Valhalla again and whoa it sounded bad. Put the Aryas on it...

Hello, I've been browsing around and see Head-Fi to be a good resource to get some specific information around connecting an amp to an audio interface. I haven't been able to find a detailed answer anywhere. I purchased a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (3rd gen) and a Schiit Magni 3 Heresey. * My goal...

Hey! So I'm about purchase an Asgard 3 + AK4490 DAC combo but before I do so I was hoping to garner some opinion around these neck of the woods. So my current set up is: Amp: Magni 2 Uber + Motherboard Texas Instruments RC4580 op-amp (set to minimum) DAC: Motherboard Sound - SupremeFX S1220...

Hello everybody, I hope this post finds people well in this difficult time. My day job is an associate pastor (well, part-time) so if anyone needs prayer or just to talk - feel free to reach out. ------------- (Edit) - Some clarification. In discussing whether something will power high...

IMPORTANT UPDATE: WE ARE NOW OFFERING AEON Flow Closed as well as AEON Flow Open. This is a special edition AEON Flow Closed with about 4dB more bass output than the original AEON Flow. We know that with the current hard times lots of people are having to adjust to new work and home life...

Hi there I must say I am really new to this and I read the last week a lot about different recommendation and variation of AMPs and DACs, especially from Schiit. Over the past months was looking for a sweet deal for the dt1990 (first headphone at all) and I just got them several days ago. As...

My PC is not detecting either of my Modi Multibit or my Eitr. I have another external DAC and it connects to my PC with the same cable and port. When I try to reinstall the drivers on the Schiit website I get the message "please connect the cmedia USB 2.0 audio device", even though the device is...

We've rescheduled for 2022! New thread here: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/az-head-fi-minicon-the-fifth-september-10th-2022.963890/

Anyone have opinions or experience with the pairing of Schiit Hel and HD6XX? I’ve seen Fulla 2/3 recommended before (as well as a slew of other Schiit products) but I like the Hel since it has quite a bit more power/versatility for the price. Thanks!

Hi, I don't know what to do, I have Xonar Essence STX (2xMUSES8920 + 1xMUSES8820) and HD650, want to improve sound quality, what is better for upgrade? I can buy Magni 3 for Essence STX + 2 x op-amp Burson V5-D or don't buy op-amp from Burson and just take Schiit stack Modi 3 + Magni 3? Someone...

Hey all, I'm trying to decide on a sub 1000k R2R DAC for my desktop headphone setup. I'm a huge fan of R2R but don't want to break that bank on my secondary system. I'm not like other headfi-ers in that my main musical genres are heavy metal and extreme metal. Fast, intense, noisy nonsense...

Hi All, My current setup is as follows: Amazon HD Music (on a MBP '17) -> Modi 3 USB -> Asgard 2 -> Sennheiser HD600 -- Can someone comment on whether an upgrade to a much more expensive DAC from Schiit's lineup will be worthy? Where does the law of diminishing return occur? I understand...

Recently I've been spending a lot of time at my computer listening to music through my Schiit Fulla 2. Over the holiday break I got to thinking how nice it would be to have the case covered in a nice wooden case. Because it has that nice metal volume control, I find myself mindlessly putting...

Hello. New member here. First of all, my headphones: SHP 9500 (32 Ohm, i know, they don't need an amp). I also use a set of passive speakers that came bundled with a stereo from Sony (LBT-D105). I won't change any of my gear in the near future, i'm not interested right now in do it so. Main use...

Hi All, I'm a very new member here but I hope I to explain my setup clearly and concisely. My current setup is as follows: I have the Beyerdynamics DT880 600 Ohm headphones. They are powered by the Schiit Asgard 2 headphone amp, and my source audio is streamed at an average of 24 bit...

amp is for sale, as I have the Woo Audio WA3 and WA6! $180 will cover PayPal fees and shipping!! It will ship USPS ground, as this amp weighs 5 pounds, and it’s not cheap to ship!! TRUST ME!! Will ship with 6J1 driver tubes.

Hello Forum, I have been considering the following DAC/amp/bluetooth options. My current IEMs are all 16-32 ohm, and I am considering purchasing AKG K553 MKII for my first full-size cans (also 32 ohm). I want a combo of DAC, amp and bluetooth receiver that can drive these at low to moderate...

Hi After owning the Gumby A1 for more than a year I got the courage and finally bought Yggy version A1. I read a lot about differences, and that some people prefer the gumby. So I was a bit hesitant to pull the trigger. But i am so so happy that i did. To me Yggy is superior to the Gumby in...

LATEST UPDATE: TOMORROW (SATURDAY) IS THE DAY!! We're currently locked in for October 5th at our usual spot (see address in bold). Post your thoughts, and what gear you'd be bringing! Same stuff applies regarding used gear sales/trades, etc; please read the slightly-modified copy pasta below...

Hi, A few months ago i paid a guy on reddit to do a detachable cable mod on my DT990 Pro's 250 OHM. He put a 3.5mm jack on the earcup. The cable he used just broke yesterday and now i only have sound in one ear. What type of cable should i look for if i am using a Schiit Magni 2 amp

I have the modi multibit with toslink and I'm curious about what is the best sample quality to choose for this DAC? I know it has the comboburrito filter, is this something I should try and bypass by upsampling? If anyone has knowledge as to the best frequency to feed the modi multibit let me...

Hello Head-fi forum, I am relatively new to the audiophile world and have some questions regarding an issue I've run into. My current setup are the M1060s and Schiit Magni 3 amp/Modi Multibit 3 DAC fed by optic cable (S/PDIF). My Audio source is FLAC files and HQ spotify. I also have a FiiO...

Hi all, I recently purchased a pair of Sony Z1R headphones and I’m planning to use them exclusively on my desktop PC at work (streaming hifi music from tidal). I’m thinking about pairing my new headphones with a DAC/amp device but not sure what’s best or recommended for my use case. I don’t...

Hello, I hope I am posting in the correct location. I was listening to my Fulla 2 as a DAC/amp, and A/Bing it with a Modi Multibit. I could not hear a discernible difference between them. I could not tell if it was a bias or if one was better or worse, almost completely identical. I do not know...
