PRICE CHECK: To clarify the European price. For the Magni with DAC included? In black? €279. In silver? €289.

What a brilliant review, you cover aspects which most don't and we the shopper benefit greatly from your knowledge and insight, I can't think of another reviewer who does this and in such detail too, it's probably why I like and have so much from Graham Slee, I can't think of anything he/they make which doesn't have an external power supply and you have shown time and again just how good those items are, it also helps keep the cost down too. Always more than just a review :)

[@TheAudiophileMan]

Very kind of you Chris. Thank you for your support.

[@KITFLETCH1]

Brilliant I bought the phono stage based on your review and that is stunning

[@wege85]

Nice. You also used this as a pre-amp. It's my favor use of this little beast. Topping DX7 Pro with BA V6 Classic opamps > Magni Unity > Muzishare X7. I love this setup. Really clean, distinctive, the bass and midrange remain well exposed and the treble doesn't spike. A very live experience.

[@shawnpwatsons1]

You should hear the Schitt Vali 3 with a good tube!

[@rhorto01]

So pleased you used a David Paton disc for a comparison!

[@jakemurphy9536]

Thanks for your review.most interesting. Have you considered comparing low cost Schiit Vs. IFi headphone amp/DAC?

[@dcho4791]

The Unison USB card shown in this video is just a USB interface designed for Schiit's Bifrost and Yggdrasil dacs. This card has transformers for full electromagnetic and electrostatic isolation while the cheaper version found in the Modi and Modius do not. The dac card in the Magni Unity contains a simplified Unison interface and the ESS ES9018 dac chip. Not as good as the separate Modi dac but a quick solution for an all-in-one interface.

Thanks Paul. The Schitt head amp/Topping DAC combo is entering Chord Mojo 2 price territory (with its lower RRP of £395). And it's integrated (obvs). Is this combo a Mojo 2 beater, do you reckon?

[@FabioKasper]

Purchased one with the DAC for the office. Really, I don't need anything else. Also, it's a generous 3-year warranty for this little beast. It's Magni 5, damn it. 😅

Gunter Schickert - Samtvogel, great album.

[@MorTphyr]

Should i get the schiit magni dac or the ifi zen dac v2 for my dt 900 pro x?

[@atban1824]

Did you notice smoke emitting from the unit during the Kate Bush test?

[@TheAudiophileMan]

Always does. Got a room full of soot.

[@noturnleftunstoned72]

Is there a big difference between the Vali2++ and the Vali3 tube amps? Is the newer 3 simply more powerful and less noisy? They both have the same tubes to start with. I'm wondering if the 2++ (at $109) will make me happy or to fork up the extra $80+ (CDN money difference plus taxes and import fees) and get the Vali3($149) thank you!

[@vincentwerner4856]

And you can even use it as a pre amp!

[@CharaiABC]

Is it worrh updating form the magni3+

[@moviemanstuff7108]

I was thinking of getting this one, but it has a “PROP 65” warning…bummer

[@steveh545]

😂

[@thomasw1496]

what do you mean by that?

[@steveh545]

@@thomasw1496 it’s a California thing, don’t worry about it.
