DAC and AMP Recommendations?

[Aidan Hartline]

So I am planning on upgrading all my periphrials and changing my desksetup alot. I wanted to upgrade my audio by getting a AMP and DAC. But Im pretty new to the more High End Audio Scene and people here know what they are talking about so...

I wanted to be able to connect my Headphones, A Set of Speakers, A Microphone (XLR) and have a Opening for a Guitar Patch Cord. I wanted something Clean and Elegant. I was looking at the Schitt Audio Stack with the Modi and Magni. Would that suffice or should I look somewhere Else?

Schiit Stack is nice but that won’t work for your guitar and mic. I would recommend the Mackie Big Knob. That is a great recording interface that can run all your stuff at the same time.

I have the Scarlet 2i2 and really enjoy it as an all-in-one kind of a solution

Big Knob is a much better headphone Amp though.

That’s fair - the headphone out is definitely my one knock on the 2i2
