Well I think it's time for another round of upgrades on the audio side of things. For my desktop right now I'm using a set of Hifiman HE400is hooked up to a Fiio E07K/E09K. The problem I'm having is the dock on the E09K is pretty much shot. It's gotten to the point where it seems like every time I want to listen to something, I have to sit there making sure the E07K is just so perfectly balanced or else it doesn't connect, even if I haven't undocked it. It would also be nice to return the E07K to its original function, a portable amp/DAC.
So I've heard going with a Schiit Modi/Magni is a good combo. I was planning on going with the Modi 2 Uber so I can use my mobos optical audio out, but was curious if the Magni 2 Uber was worth the extra $50 over the base Magni 2? Looking at their site, Schiit seems to think the biggest improvement is a set of pre-amp outs, which I don't need. Is there any other reason to go with the uber?
