I currently own
Modi 3
Magni 1
A07 pro
PC USB > modi 3 > HP amp > Aiyama a07 pro> subwoofer and 2 bookshelf
I currently have a magni 3 and topping l30 II in their return window. Also kef q150s and sundaras. Here are the questions.
1. What does the preamp function on the magni 3 and l30 II actually do? How should I run the volume and gain on the headphone amp compared to the Aiyama? Am I too paranoid thinking I could break the headphone jack on the magni/L 30II?
2. I am not keen on having to unplug and plug in my headphones just for speaker access. My other options is split the rca from the modi to the aiyama and magni. Are there any downsides to doing this? Meaning to just have the volume on either turned all the way down while usimg the other. What if one is turned off?
3. The L30 II fixes the above issue but schitt has a 3 year on magnis while topping is 1 iirc. How do the topping amps hold up? The magni has vent holes on top but I didnt see anything on the L30II.
4. Any other options for me I am not seeing within $200?
