The Schiit Stack, which includes both the Magni and Modi is an extremely popular headphone amp & DAC combination that I committed to test when a viewer asked me about them.

lol "product x"

It's actually pretty funny that they play off their name. If they made bad stuff there would be fun to be had. Now I want this Schiit, but I don't Schiit money so I can't afford this Schiit.

[BennisTheMennis]

we need more companies with names like this

[AMICLG]

Isn't it the Magni that overvolts the schiit out of the headphones when you power it off.

 

EDIT: NVM it's the Asgard.

[CatCloud]

oh i might have gone with this one if i didn't already have the Mayflower-power Combo.
dat Valhalla looks tempting though, i still want to test them tube amps one day.

Thanks for another interesting Video Linus

Oh god. I can see the 50 new topics about Schitt in the audio subforum already. 

[Ferdian]

[Barrington]

Having a schitt day better buy an O2  Magni Modi stack

[DBells94]

all those terrible schitt jokes that actually made me laugh

[Osulagh]

Linus... I know you won't like this... but I suggest you try the Audioengine D1.

 

While I find it to be overkill... for just about anyone, honestly (I used to be an audiophile, got tired of the BS marketing), I bought one for the feature set as it suited me perfectly.

It's got a dead quiet headphone amp that run 250ohm headphones well (going higher resistance headphones doesn't do any good), RCA out, optical in, runs off USB power (with USB input), volume control also controls RCA output level, and it's small.

The Schiit stack is good for only running heaphones; there's no optional RCA output.

The O2 DAC+Amp is also good, but doesn't offer RCA output.

Both run from the wall, so it's another cable to plug in.

 

 

The only downsides I see the D1 having is no 1/4" headphone jack, not highly powered, and can be finicky with USB power and bitrate (both can cause static in the noise floor).

 

Anyways, worth a shot. This is my first time on the forums, and I have to say I enjoy your videos a lot! Don't let the audiophiles bug you too much; they're nice people... sometimes.
