    I'm old that it took me a moment to remember the DACMagic.

    But no DT800? and it's heavier which seems kinda counter to their attempt to make it more sensitive/portable friendly

  Got a Jot2 as my first nicer SS amp. Man this thing is ballsy. I like the headstage too (this is no Magni3).

  Would you rather have a HD650 out of a Jot2/Bifrost2 or a Focal Utopia out of a Magni/Modi stack?

    The utopia + $200 to spend on building a system.

    hd650, utopia will tell you everything wrong and right with the latter. But it should scale more in the long term

    The Utopia stack, although if we're talking HD600 I would go for that instead.

    I saw that this morning and was wondering if anyone has heard one. I might move my Jot 2 now that I have my SW51 and it would be nice if this sounded good enough to use the Jot 2 as an all in one.

    The Unison and USB-C are super improvements as well.

  Man, iFi Zen Can is really good (among the entry stuff I tried). So much better than THX AAA 887 and FiiO K5. Punchy, detailed, with depth.

    I really liked the ZenDAC I tried (V1) especially for the price at the time.

  Got a THX AAA 887. Hate it. So insipid it hurts. This gotta be the first time I experienced 0 emotions while listening to music. Weird shit.

    The SW51+ you mentioned as being on your radar (in the all-purpose thread) is the polar opposite; it's all emotion - love, tears of joy, giddy happiness...

  Learning a lot, trying new gear, discussing and taking advice from others. Baby steps to audiophile heaven.

    Not to decry trying lots of gear and meeting lots of people. Yes, it is fun and interesting. It isn't necessary to buy it all if there are meets. I wouldn't have the 'phones I have now if it wasn't for a fellow member.
