Excellent video Brian! Answered a lot of questions and definitely helps folks decide which setup is best for their individual needs.
came here for keyboards 2 years ago now I'm back for dac/amps. you're the trusted tech guru for the average person, definitely deserve more subscribers.
Literally JUST bought this stack for my brand new DT 770s Pros, so happy you released this!
3rd video of yours I've watched today researching headphones and DAC/AMP setups. Trying to figure out how the hell you only have 162k subs. Video production and music selection is fantastic. And I love the way you present the info. Huge help in my search for info today. You just picked up another sub.
Schiit Stack still may be one of the most exquisite things I've been permitted to say in public. Thanks man!
I've owned the MODI and MAGNI 2 since they were first introduced. I can confirm as an avid gamer and music lover that this is a great way to get into Hi-Fi
DUDE! I was literally looking up if you had a GOXLR video when i hear you say your now in talks with them! YES! I cannot wait for this to happen! You da best, keep up the great work!
Can’t get enough of audio content, keep it up! Solid video production as always 👌
order the heresy last night and magni3+ and got the Sennheiser 560s very excited for amp and dac to come in. awesome content and very easy to understand and follow.
I am just beginning my audio journey and even though I have more questions than answers, I am really grateful for your videos for explaining the basics with such detail~!
Yesssss. I was literally researching this and watching your old videos regarding this topic. Going to pick up the Schiit stack with an HD 6XX as soon as that sweet stimulus check hits.

Excuse me if my question is stupid, but do DAC/AMP stacks have drivers or related to house features such as equalizer, bass/treble boost, virtual surround (for stereo), etc.? I only have experience with a motherboard's onboard DAC, and I've been compensating for its quality by using software like Nahimic 2. A sound card was my original idea of an audio upgrade, but an external DAC/AMP seems to be capable of providing better quality for lower cost due to it not needing to reduce electrical noise/interference from the PC.

Your videos have been helping me get through the quarantine. Keep 'em coming brother!
Your reviews are always awesome and give a lot of detail in a way that’s easy for beginners like me to understand. I’m currently torn between getting a FiiO K5 Pro and saving up to get the Magni 3+ and Modi stack. In New Zealand the Schiit stack costs more than double the price of the K5 Pro and many have said they don’t sound that different, but the upgradability argument you mentioned here makes me wonder if a separate DAC+Amp is a better way to go. Just don’t know what to do!
Loved the video as usual. Joined your discord this week and have to say it’s one of the most helpful communities on discord and the internet as a whole. Everything about your channel and brand has just blown me away in quality and entertainment. Keep up the amazing work BadSeed

Where do you plug your mic in? The motherboard?
This video is great, it answered all my questions about Magni/Modi stack vs Hel and Magni vs Magni Heresey
So glad to see a video on Audio stuff. It certainly has been a while. The Schitt Modi/Magni stack is a perfect entry into audiophile headphone dac/amps. I agree with you about the value of adding amp first, then DAC. However, I think not enough appreciation is given to the DAC. I bought my Magni first, and could notice some additional things in the mix that I didn't hear before. But, going from my motherboard DAC to the Modi was like a switch being flipped on. The expansion of the soundstage was instantly noticeable, I could hear more space between instruments and vocalists. The analogy , listening to music with onboard MB DAC listening through a window just cracked open. Adding the Modi was like opening the window. Looking forward to the next video.

Thank you for making this video. Your recommendations really helped me clear my doubts and finalize which setup I wanted to go for. I wanted it primarily for gaming, but didn't wanna lose out on the music, and hence I decided to go with the Modi 3+ and Magni Heresy. Thanx again for your suggestions and for making this video. Keep up the amazing work. Liked and subscribed!

I'm thinking about purchasing the same stack myself. Would you have an update on your experiences with Modi 3+ with the Magni Heresy?
I've been using the magni 3+ and modi 3 for a couple of months. Feels good to know I picked a good stack. This was coming from the GSX1000, which I still love.
I saw a new video, and it was about Schiit. Say no more. I've just liked it. Watching the video now.
Thanks Brian, I Luv seeing you do audio. You do everything great. But luv your delivery in it. I know you have passion for all you do. 💯 Stay safe brotha 🎧✌🏼 PS always dig deeper 😆
Great video and so true that with a decent $350-500 headphone and a basic amp/dac stack, most people will have everything they need to hear truly beautiful audio. After that, and you are fighting the law of diminishing returns.
Just discovered this channel the other day and at first i thought it was gunna be another "bad ass!' tech reviewer with the channel name and the beard. I was way wrong. This dude is very knowledgeable and articulate. He shares facts and is open to everyone's opinions and preferences. subbed.
I just ordered the Magni Heresy yesterday. I really like the styling, but now wonder if the 3+ would have been the better option. When I was really into home audio, I know cables and speakers could compliment system components. Hopefully I can pair some good headphones down the road with the detail signature of the Heresy. Great Discord channel BTW. I got great advice in there!
I got my Schiit stack about 12 days ago. I thought about which amp to buy and finally settled on the Heresy. And for headphones I chose the DT 770 Pro 80ohms. Now just a disclaimer here... My hearing is damaged. Years working around jet engines and using firearms has taken a toll. But I can still hear the difference this setup makes with my music. It's kind of amazing when I think about it. Sad part is that I wouldn't have ever considered this as an option if I hadn't watched some of your videos. So Thanks Brian!

I would love a quick video on the GSX 1000 + Atom stack that you talked about, that looked really interesting !.
I talked my wife into getting me a Schiit Stack for Xmas 2020 and went with the Modi/Vali 2 (tube amp). I couldn't be happier!! For now, I am using some Philips Fidelio X2HR cans and it's pretty blissful. I am considering adding the Loki EQ to it as well. Great Vidz BTW!

Don't pull the trigger just off this, look at other options and see what you want for your budget. I thought I was going to be happy at with a schiit stack but honestly after moving to a slightly higher end dac/amp I can honestly say I would never go back. Like bst I own 1990s and other "audiophile" level headphones. With that said if you want a next level solution I would recommend the smsl su-8 and the thx 789 on drop. It is 100 bucks off right now so 300 instead of 400 which is a steal. It has been compared to amps that cost upwards of 1,200 bucks and rightfully so. A slightly cheaper alternative would be the sp-200 from smsl. But like he said at the end, you have to decide what you want. One of the biggest reasons I use what I use is to have super high res audio while still having "gaming" features through having a mixer. I run discord through it so I have a channel for gaming and one for that so I can easily turn up and down discord by itself without affecting the ingame volume. It also let's me monitor the mic input which is essentially the whole thing behind "gaming" features. Other than that is equalizers but you can simply download an eq to your computer.

Also, do you have any opinions on the GoXLR mini? I know you said you wanted high res audio with "gaming" features with a mixer, so I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the GoXLR mini as a budget option. I already have hd58x jubilees for reference. Thanks!

Most gaming headsets are really really bad ( they aren't terrible for like 5o bucks but usually they cost a lot more ) and you can get something good for under 200 bucks headphone wise. But best thing you can do is decide of budgets for the parts you want and go from there

Great review. Very descriptive, relevant, and helpful. Thank you.
This is perfect timing for me.
Im running the same schiit stack. Cant be any happier with the performance. For the money, it does its job well. Im not deep in the rabbit hole of audiophile and i dont want to. For me, this setup satisfies my needs. Currently outputting these into some audioengine a2+’s and soon to upgrade my cans to accomodate its performance.
Yes please review GSX1000 + JDS Atom combo! Also can u give us ur thoughts on whether a DAC is worth it over most modern motherboard built in sound? (I know the GSX offers 7.1 but I’m talking non-gaming DACs).
This is such a Schiitty episode I love it. and my schiit stack.
GSX + Atom stack video = yes please!
good review and good job! perfect video for those just starting to get into audio.
I'm about to pair a Schiit Magni Heresy with my Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 as my DAC, very excited!

Thank you very much for the excellent review. I was going back and forth between the 3+ and Heresy. Another reviewer was not able to hear any differences, but I’m glad you were able to separate the audio qualities of both. Since I’m sensitive to high-frequency glare, sibilance, etc., it looks like I’d be better off with the 3+. Agree?
Yes please. I have been trying to figure out if I can add or should add a stack to my go xlr for my audio setup but haven’t really figured it out yet.
Running this stack myself (Magni Heresy & Modi back) and came from the GSX and magni 3. It is soo good so much more detail on HD6xx
And here I am with my wimpy $30 amp from sybasonic. For what it's worth it's a nice intro to the amp an dac world, I'm using it to run my shp9500 with a vmoda boom mic based off of your recommendation. Keep up the quality work.
Currently running the gsx 1000 with gsp 500s. Would love to see the video on the atom stack
Picked up a GSX for ~$250 AUD the other week, it's been pretty awesome so far, and really good for gaming. The built in EQ isn't amazing, but better than nothing.

I wound up getting a THX 789 for a steal and have been running the DT1990s with that since. If you can afford the THX and a Modi DAC, I would spring for that. The additional detail and sound stage you get (to my ears) from the THX is fantastic, but I would call it a maybe 15% improvement. If that hadn't popped up, I would for sure still be using the Schiit stack. I only upgraded because I had an opportunity.
This might be something I'll be getting for my PC gaming and audio needs.

Purchased my Schiit stack with Pyst cables today. Paired it with a Audio Technica ad700x (temporarily). Can't wait for it all to show up.
Red cables are not available currently. But get the whole stack at once. It does make an amazing difference in gaming (COD and Dead by daylight) and music (google music, spotify, & youtube from what I tested). I got the Schiit Magni 3+ and modi and am listing currently with some Philips Audio Philips SHP9500, with Premium 2 RCA Plug/2 RCA Plug M/M 22AWG Cable to connect them. Once my mass drop head phones come in I will update. Thanks for the great advice! Your preference at the end of the video is correct, I am supper set for a good amount of time. I didn't realize my friends who gamed and like musics (Nerds am I right) got pumped when I told them I went this way (most have the sec gen of this set up). I also bought a modmic to talk to people while gaming and conferencing. This set up is most pimp for the low cost way of testing audiophile and sounding like you have a boom mic while working. Thanks again my bearded brethren for leading me the right way!

Can you do a review on the JDS element II and how it compare to the Schiit stack? I really like the simple design of the element II
Very nice to see someone talking about gaming + music. I'm very much in the same boat, but all my recommendations are coming from the music side of things since there are very few reviews from the gaming side. How would you 'stack' up all these dacs + amps against the 7.1 channel support of the gaming dacs? Do the 7.1 add any perceptible advantage to gaming, or do the sheer quality of the music dacs make up for it?
for the dac/amp combo dont forget about the micca origan gen 2. Also recently JDS dropped a Atom dac that matches with the amp.

I love the schiit stack and want to get one for my gaming set up, coupled with the schiit equalizer, phillips shp9500 and a vmoda boom pro. Its a shame they dont produce a small speaker amp at an entry level price too... nothing crazy just maybe stereo bookshelf speakers and a sub with the option to switch between speakers and phones. Id be interested in adding an slr mic at a later date. Be interested to know how to implement them both on the same system for easy switching between headset and studio mic
This was a really good video. I am a music listener who games and I use the schitt stack to drive my Sundaras and Meze 99s and as a preamp to my stereo. I went with the 3+ instead of the heresy for the same reasons you mention. I found the detail on the heresy too discombobulating. Sometimes it felt like I wasn't listening to a band play but to a group of individual musicians playing at the same time. Weird...
Great video! There is definitely a rabbit hole you can go down with this. Do you use an audio interface for recording your audio or USB microphone? If an audio interface, have you tried using it as your DAC for music and gaming and just hook up your headphone amp to it to drive your high ohm headphones?
That schiit looks really nice. Still debating about going stack or going the hel way. I currently have the syba sonic and I kinda like having a microphone input, my onboard audio sounds like sh... I'm still looking for a small and affordable speaker amplifier to power my mordaunt-short bookshelves and use the syba or it's replacement as a preamp. Keep up the good work, I love your video.
Great review, this is the best I have seen so far for the Heresy vs 3+. Very clear description of the differences. A interesting video would be comparing the THX 789 to the Magnis, if you hear any differences sound-wise. Be good to get your take on rather its worth or it not.
Was literally jsut looking to upgrade my old shitty DAC and was looking into the Magni. This video is perfectly timed lol, gonna buy it.
Thank you for this video, it really helped me come to a decision on what i truly needed/wanted for my gaming/future projects!
Awesome video man! Can you please review the Creative Sound Blaster x3!?
Yes! I need that goXLR video!
I really like your reviews on these kinds of products and I’m thinking about starting with this stack. Can you recommend some headphones that will take advantage of these in both open back and closed back options?
