Magni / Modi stack, unless they are Uber, is inadequate.

Modi 1 required Wyrd to be acceptable (actually pretty darn good with Wyrd); Magni 1 I didn't care for - not good enough for me for regular use. The Uber M/M stack is fantastic though.

What's surprising is that there haven't been any updates or improvements to the Objective2 or ODAC. Oh wait, I forgot. The Objective2 was perfect and nwavguy doesn't do digital.

Yeah but those folks are talking about their endgame rigs after many years of figuring out what they want. I don't think anyone here would dismiss something like the entry-level magni/modi schiit stack as being inadequate.

haha, wasn't saying anyone dismisses inexpensive-but-good gear, just that all this talk of fancy expensive gear will make you want it. :)

Or Vali. As hans said it's more about being budget agnostic.

A decent CD-player from the black plastic crap era can still hold its own, for less than 50 Dollars/Euros...

I have still have a Philips CD751 somewhere.

Anyway, I'm smitty, I'm from NoVA, and I can never have too much gear. I listen to music for a minimum of 14 hours a day, so variety is what keeps stuff interesting.
Welcome Smitty!  ahoy

Good to be in here!

Hey guys!  Don't really know what to say... um... um...  :vomit:

I'm basically a lurker over at head-fi since 2010 and now I'm interested in becoming a lurker here.
I started my journey with the Grado SR80i five years ago, it was hard for me to pay $99!!!! dollars for a headphone back then.  I still own that same SR80i today along with the HD800, LCD2.2, HE-560, HD650, and HD600 and there have been many more cans that have come and gone over those five years.

I had to sign up after seeing the Headamp GS-X mk2 come in third in the Top Shelf Solid State with HD800s topic.  You just never see anything bad about the GS-X mk2 (was thinking seriously about putting in an order), even the wait time is kind of like a feature or special club.  I almost want to buy one just to say I waited that long for it.  Anyway now the Ragnarok is on my radar instead after being on this forum a couple days.  Looking forward to many more great reviews/comparisons here!

Hi all. Liked the objective/subjective synthesis and banter so much I thought I'd join. This forum has a wealth of information and a no BS approach. Awesome.
