Picking up HE4XX's which DAQ/Amp or DAQ and Amp combo?

Hi Mon, what is the Schiit 3+ you guys are talking about?

Schiit released two new Magni… the 3+ and the Heresy. https://www.schiit.com/products/magni-1

they revamped their lower end line by also releasing the HEL and new fulla

New Fulla being just a mic input addition and slight power decrease was a weird decision IMO. I would have liked to have seen a slight redesign or something with all the reports of low-level imbalance. I still might pick one up for my wife’s office and Xbox.

And if the Hell wasn’t so edgy gamer black and red i might have gone with one of those instead of a Modi Magni 3+.

They put higher quality caps on it I believe

I don’t know if it works with consoles though

I was not very impressed by the new and old fulla, and the main redeeming quality for the fills was the mic in. The hel is pretty nice but I like the interface amp stack more but I do think the sound quality is still good if you really want that form factor

I was assuming it would for an Xbox. From the site:

Sounds like this is for PCs. How about for consoles?
If your console supports UAC2 (USB Audio Class 2, the standard for USB audio these days), then you’re golden. However, we haven’t tested all consoles. But for Windows 10, most Linux distros, MacOS, iOS, and Android these days, you’re set.

Yeah I saw that, just suspicious they didn’t allegedly try a console which is strange

I think the hel.is too expensive for me to choose going to but I am interested how it would compare to a Scarlett 2i2

Right? Just try a PS4 and Xbox One and be done.

I think the dac and amp part of it would work, but I don’t know if the mic in would work on a console

Id do the JDS Labs Element II (little more or less depending on DAC). MUCH nicer.

Consoles is suck an overlooked market all they need is a spdif input and they are pretty much set

The Scarlett solo has a much better mic in and a better dac imo, but not as good headphone amp. But slap an atom or liquid spark on there and it’s killer

Mic is handled with the controller 1/8" in according to Reddit… .yeah looks like the Fulla works.

Nvm they need a mic but console comparability can’t be that hard

Neat, thanks for letting me know :+1:

And for $59 right now for the 2 i might just grab one to experiment with.

Wait the 2 doesn’t have a mic in

Ok I’m just dumb lol I thought you were talking about the fulla 3
