I'm considering some Schiit gear for computer-fed headphone listening. I have HiFiMan HE-400is and Sennheiser MassDrop HD-6XXs, and also a Meridian Explorer2 and an NAD D 3020. Been playing with audio for about 40 years, but new to the headphone thing. It's quite a playground and I'm still exploring.
Besides really kinda wanting a Bottlehead Crack, I'm looking at some Schiit kit for a possible next exploration. My full-on home audio systems have always been tubed, but I'm holding off on going tubed with the headphone stuff for the moment.
I trying to get a sense of what might be best value-for-money Schiit configuration. I'm keen on spending some more time with multi-bit DACs. The arrangements I'm considering play out like this:
1. Magni 3 amp with Modi 2 multi-bit DAC, $350
2. Asgard 2 amp with Modi 2 multi-bit DAC, $500
3. Jotenheim multibit amp/DAC, $600
Does anyone know whether the multi-bit DAC option is the same board across all these DACs? If so, that leaves the difference with the amplification. Any major sonic benefit to be gained by the different amps? There's more output power/voltage going up the line. I thinking this could help the Sennheiser HD-6XXs.
Thoughts?
Cheers!
