As the title states, I am currently trying to decide between the Element II DAC/AMP Combo vs a Modius/Asgard 3 stack.
Currently just have the HD6xx, Sundara, and X2HR. I know that both of these options are overkill for the headphones that I currently own, but I am trying to future proof a little because the Element/ Schiit Stack will be gifted to me. As a result, I want something that will also be able to drive other headphones that I may get down the line.
The way I see it: Both setups look (and apparently sound) fantastic. I give a slight edge to the Element II for looks more because of that giant knob, which I love. On the other hand, getting the Schiit stack may provide more power and leaves the door open for future upgrades (maybe going balanced at some point?) due to having two separate units.
All in all, both options cost the same ($400ish for my parents, $0 for me
) so I am having tough time making up my mind over which one to get.
P.S. I am in the US so availability/shipping of any of these are not an issue.
