After reading through the discussion, I'm thinking about getting a modi2 and magni2, but have some questions for people who have them or know much about them. First do they come with the cords and hookups that you need to actually use them or would I have to go out and get them? Second which version should I get? The regular USB versions or should I just get the uber versions of both of them, is there a significant difference in the experience with USB? Or is the experience the same and the only difference are the input and output options? Any insight would be very welcomed.

Adamant-Pariahi do not think they come with the needed wires but i could be wrong, and the schiit stack is good because its really good at that price point, if you get the uber versions you might as well get something better at the new price point. I literally just joined this drop 5 min a go https://www.massdrop.com/buy/matrix-mstage-amp-dac I read some reviews about this amp on head-fi and the top review said that this amp/dac paires really nicely with the akg k701, so it should run the k7xx's really nicely as well. and in my personal opinion from what ive read it should be ever better than the schiit stack. ps. i was highly debating getting the stack but was waiting if MD had a good amp/dac combo and now they do.

Adamant-PariahI have the regular, non-Uber versions and like the stack. Doesn't come with cables. You'll need a USB cable to connect the Modi 2 to your computer, and a stereo RCA cable to connect Modi 2 to Magni 2. I went with the regular version as I didn't need the extra features of the Ubers.

ginsbuThanks I couldn't see anything about if the cables were included so I figured I'd ask before I bought them and realized I needed something else.

Adamant-PariahYeah in order to save on production costs they don't include them so that was a legit question!

Adamant-Pariahwas looking for some information about shipping dates. Came across this. It never crossed my mind that they would not include the cables. I am living in Vienna, home of AKG where this is not offered. Paid for the post box in US, will pay the shipment and the customs. Which will end up paying actually more than to grab the q701 which would be here the next morning. Bear in mind, I was ready for this. But not for the frikkin cables. the attention award goes to you. oh silly me.. and the best part of it, i have been talking around and saying, oh it's much better without those silly green cables, they are black like it's supposed to be. i guess i am in the market for cables now, another hit it the pocket. Any suggestions?

cipskolakilitThey are talking about cables for the Schiit stack not the cables for the headphones.
e.g. RCA for linking DAC and Amp, Optical, coaxial, usb, etc...

cipskolakilitThe headphone will come with a nice black cable* like you've been telling people. :)
*Detachable 9.8 ft (3 m) straight cable with 1/8 in (3.5 mm) jack

Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?

Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x

Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!

I am in the midst of a 300 hour burn-in but, I will say I am enjoying how this set sounds so far. Before I received these which was btw late by a few weeks, I purchased a Sony/Kimber Kable MMCX...

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?

I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.
