Yes, the Schiit amps are good. No comparison to my final decision though. I had a chance to try them side by side. Based on the Schiit design criteria it all makes sense. Good stuff for sure.
And just to answer my own question to this thread here is what I went with.AURALiC Taurus MKII
The ear pads are a little the same.I did not like them, because they were too deep, to me, it's like have a tea cup over your ears.But, that me...Guy 13
I love them!
I bet the Alpha Dogs are good. I'm happy with my Mad Dogs, though.Does the amp you bought have a crossfeed circuit? IMO that makes a big difference with headphones. Without it, they just drill a mess of sound into the middle of my head.
No idea. I can certainly say there isn't a mess of sound into the middle of my head though. Since you have the MD's you should give it a try. I'm sure someone in your area has one.
Jtwrace do you have a vega to go along with your taurus? That's badass. I have the auralic ark mk+ and it's an amazing dac for the 1k I paid used. I think dan (mr.speakers) is really liking the vega now. I think he uses the mojo with it though. I was thinking about selling my X's and trying out the alpha dogs or pm2's but I think I will try and live off baloney sandwiches for a few months and keep them. If you enjoy your AD's try out the X's when you get the chance. I think you will like them and you already have an amp and dac that would suit them well. The thing with the X's though is the return policy is not as liberal as the AD's. The only thing I have not cared for with the auralic is the feet. Cause there are none. It looks like you found some tenderfeet for the vega. I have some tenderfeet on the bottom of my ark. Not a big deal but for what you pay I thought they could have put some feet on it. At least it's 3 feet not 4 right?
I heard the Alpha Dogs at AXPONA with an amp....the amp on the bottom.. What amp is that? Guess it is about $6K but did make the AD's play very nicely!
