    Was wondering if anyone knows the specs of the EVO 4 or how it performs. I know its primary use is microphones and monitoring, but I'm looking to add such a setup to my desktop.

    My question is, if anyone knows, if the EVO 4 will make my Schiit Magni 3+ redundant or not.

    Appreciate any thoughts on the subject.

    Thanks. Couldnt find it for some reason.

    Also, wondering how that translates to performance and compared to the Magni. Not super versed in breaking down the specs into something relevant beyond basics.

    While I have not heard the EVO 4 I did own the Audient ID14. This model is externally powered and did an ok job as dac and HP amp. While the dac was typical pro audio clean it and better than the entry level Steinberg, the HP out seemed to lack depth and punch in the low end. It was not very powerful overall.

    I also owned the Magni 3 (not plus) for a short time and would take that any day over the amp section of the Audient. My advice, stay put!
