QUOTE(wim1983 @ Jun 13 2013, 04:24 PM) No, you misunderstand, there is no way that I dunno what a DAC is, it simply a device to convert digital to analog (hearable signal into headphones).  Exactly, that's why DAC have great potential to be money sucker, and here we into it  the money of a dac is actually go into the component used and also the design. that is why most people will ask you to try it for yourself to see if the difference is big enough for you to pay that kind of price or not and also if you listen to a 10k dac with a lower end headphone it will not sound any difference with the 1k dac because your headphone will be a bottle neck |

QUOTE(wim1983 @ Jun 13 2013, 04:46 PM) hmm, got one quesiton, can I use those all in one DAC + AMP on speakers, e.g. a Swans M200MKII, what I mean is it possible to bypass the amp? with the schiit you can just unplug the magni and plug your speaker in to the modi. if you want to bypass speaker amp so sorry you cant since is a active speaker even if you can you need a speaker amp a headphone amp cant do anything to a speaker This post has been edited by dennisyeoh: Jun 13 2013, 04:51 PM |

QUOTE(E1 - AKG @ Jun 13 2013, 05:59 PM) The Audinst HUD-MX1 is a combo with separate RCA (line out) for powered speakers   If you are considering the Schiit M&M stack, then you should consider the iFi iUSB/ iDAC/ iCAN trilogy  the first one did not receive lots of good review the second one is very expensive i would go for higher end schiit dac with that price of that combo beside the looks......hmmmm This post has been edited by dennisyeoh: Jun 13 2013, 09:00 PM |

QUOTE(wim1983 @ Jun 13 2013, 09:56 PM) I have calculated the price (if buy directly from official website online): Schiit Modi & Magni + Cable + Shipping = around MYR 870 JDS Labs ODAC & O2 + Power Adapter + Shipping = around MYR 1000 Audinst HUD-MX1 + Shipping = around MYR 750 Most probably I will go for Schiit  this is a forumer selling schiit but it think is a bulk |
