DESCRIPTION

Trust the Schitt Magni 3+ and Magni Heresy to up the ante even further for affordable headphone amps. With the highest output power by far - at least 200% higher than any competitor - the pair truly reigns in its price class. It’s not just all power, they also provide the cleanest measured performance of any Magni ever. Schitt is unabashed in claiming that the new Magnis are without an equal in their arena.

Go beyond a ‘starter amp’

With enough power, performance, low noise and versatility to bring out the best in any headphone, the Mani 3+ and Magni Heresy are all the amp you’ll ever need. From IEMs to hard-to-drive planar magnetic ones, these Schitt amps can take them all. With either of the Magni you get a solid 2400mW at 32 ohms. That’s some impressive reserves of power indeed. However quantity without quality is pointless and that’s exemplified by the beautifully low distortion, an exceptionally low noise floor and switchable gain of the Magni twins. Truly, this Schitt tag-team punches way above its price point.

High performance or even higher performance - You choose!

No stone has been left unturned by Schitt to bring you the Magni 3+, in terms of power, distortion or noise floor. Even then, Schitt decided to get an even higher measured performance from integrated (op-amp) designs. Hence, you get a choice to go higher with the Magni Heresy.

For the ultimate expression of an affordable all-discrete current-feedback headphone amp, the Magni 3+ is the best bet. Right down to the driver stage and Vbe multiplier, the Magni 3+ is like a mini speaker amp. The Magni 3+ is available in Schitt’s traditional silver and grey chassis.

The Magni Heresy is the best choice for insanely great measurements from an all-op-amp based headphone. It includes a multiple paralleled outputs stage with feedforward. Employing high-quality parts, The Heresy is available in a wicked black and red chassis.

The Schitt Magni 3+ and Heresy a brilliant package for the price and sound fantastic!

Versatility is standard

Both the Magnis feature preamp outputs. Connect either one to your desktop powered monitors for a complete system or to a speaker power amp and use it as a preamp - the Magnis are incredibly versatile. Expect glitches or pop through either headphones or speakers to be a thing of the past as the Magnis also feature a built-in time-delayed start-up and instant shut-down.

Designed and Built in California and Warranties

The vast majority of the total production cost of Magnis - like the chassis, boards, transformers, among others - goes to American companies that manufacture products in the States itself. This is what Schitt means when it says the Magnis are “ designed and built in California ''. The chassis are made from manufacturers that are minutes away from Schitt’s facility. With the PCBs made in Nevada this Californian local - Schitt Magni 3+ and Heresay - is covered by a 2-year limited warranty that covers parts and labour. The only thing outsourced is the wall-warts which are made in China but if that’s what’s bothering you then somebody’s really bent on nitpicking. This is as VFM a product as they come.

FAQs

: Because some people really like our historic approach to Magni, and some people want even better measurements. So we decided to give you both: a Magni 3+ that is the ultimate expression of our discrete, current-feedback topology (basically a small speaker amp) and a Magni Heresy that is 100% integrated—all op-amps, all the time..
: Because you like silver and gray, which is the finish of Magni 3+, or black and red, which are Magni Heresy's colors.
: I think we covered this in the product description, but here goes again, with more detail

Magni 3+: choose this one if you want an all-discrete headphone amp. Discrete means its made up of lots of individual transistors (well, actually a lot of paired matched transistors now). It’s essentially a mini speaker amp. In fact, the topology is exactly that of a 2-stage speaker amp now, since we added a driver stage and Vbe multiplier for biasing. The driver reduces distortion and the Vbe multiplier means the bias is more stable. It's a super-advanced amp, and we’re very proud of it.

Magni Heresy: choose this one if you want a 100% op-amp-based headphone amp that delivers spectacular measurements. Thank the high-quality op-amps used: OPA1662 for gain, OPA1688 for output—eight (8) OPA1688 stages per channel, for low output impedance and very high current capability. With these advanced parts (the OPA1688 even uses feedforward in its topology), we’re getting 6-8dB lower THD+N than Magni 3+, which is already 10-15dB lower THD+N than Magni 3.
: Ah hell no, we aren’t falling for that. You tell us.
: We think both amps sound very, very good, or else we wouldn’t offer both of them. We developed the Magni Heresy largely to see what could be accomplished with a simple topology and modern op-amps, but we’re very pleased with the way it came out. At the same time, we think Magni 3+ provides compelling reasons that you shouldn’t choose everything simply based on numbers. But seriously, you tell us.
: When we started developing an all-op-amp Magni, it was 100% counter to everything we’ve done. We’ve always done fully discrete designs, when we weren’t so cost-constrained that they weren’t practical. Going op-amp was far, far easier, and more typical in today’s world, but it was, well, almost anathema. So to us, an op-amp Magni was heresy. But we’re happy with the way it turned out!
: That’s a great question, isn’t it? Why would we bother with a much more complex, harder to produce product that takes a lot more engineering time and skill (the Magni 3+)? Well, we believe that the numbers don’t tell the entire story. We believe that Magni 3+ has a place. But when it comes down to it, it’s your call.
: Why is it a 6S or 8 but not 9 or 10S but 11? Nah, sorry, just teasing you, Apple fans. There’s a method to our madness. For us, a product gets a “+” when it has the same functionality, but has been changed significantly internally. Like Freya+ and Saga+. A product gets a number bump if the functionality changes.
: Both of them will run IEMs with zero audible noise, though Magni Heresy is slightly quieter on the analyzer.
: Both of them have tons of power—specifically 2.4W RMS per channel at less than 1% THD, though both typically perform comfortably above that.
: Simple: we keep tweaking for higher efficiency. Last time it was a topology change. This time it’s a driver stage and optimized emitter resistance. It is about the maximum of what we can do now, though, without giant changes.
: Either Magni has no capacitors in the signal path at all—that’s what we mean by DC coupling. This eliminates any sonic effect a capacitor in the signal path might have on your system.
: No. Both Magnis have relay mute for delayed startup and fast shut-down. You can leave your headphones plugged in all the time. It also automatically disconnects the preamp outputs when you plug headphones in. Amazing things, switches.
: Seriously, you really don’t need to. But, you know, different people like different things, and they may want to try out tube amps, or balanced amps, or Class A/Continuity™ amps, or you might have Raal/Requisite headphones, and then you actually need a different amp, the Jotunheim R, the only direct drive ribbon headphone amp.
: We did. They’re just in a different chassis and costs another $99-249. They’re called “Modi 3” or “Modi Multibit.”
: Unless you know what you’re doing, we don’t recommend that. Magni uses an AC wall wart. Most are DC. DC won’t work with either Magni. Plus, seriously? This is a $99 amp. You want to use some $599 power supply with it? Nah.
: In Norse mythology, Magni was one of Thor’s sons.

Magni 3+/Heresy Chapter (from the ongoing Schiit Happened book)

A Minimum for Audiophile

Good experience buying pre-owned magni 3 from Headphonezone. They helped with courier delivery problems and I got it ahead of schedule.

Unboxing: Package contained the pre-owned Magni-3 and plug, original invoice and manual. A tiny qualm, one of the pins on the plug was deformed, but it managed to connect with power socket.

Experience: Had an initial hiccup. Sound was very low than my expectation. Listening HD 598SE from Redmi Note 4 trough magni 3. Tried HI-gain. Poor volume even at 3 O'clock. My previous set up of RedmiNote 4 + Behringer HA400 amp had sounded louder. Then realised the volume on Redmi Note, set at 50%, was the culprit. Pushed it to 95%. Now Magni 3 came to life. Decent output at 10 O'clock. It was a refreshing change from the boomy bass and sennheiser veil. Bass tightened, less veil, spacious soundstage with more detail.

Tried DT770 32ohm. For me, DT770 is a hard hitting, very engaging can with DragonFly Black. RedmiNote 4 + Magni 3 totally changed the character of DT770 on its head. Most noticeable is the smooth treble. wider, taller soundstage. Low noise floor, more detail. thinner note presentation (than DF black). Bass is relaxed. Seems like I will shift from Rock/Metal to Melody/Carnatic music with DT770 + magni 3.

Realtek ALC892 onboard Z270M-D3H-CF Gigabyte motherboard on PC: has even lower noise floor, bigger soundstage and has an appealing darker signature when compared to Magni 3 + Redmi Note 4. Onboard sound is slowly improving. However Magni 3 sounds more musical and has more detail.

Wish Modi 3 or Modi multibit arrives soon in stock
Thank you, Headphonezone, keep up the good work!!

'Thats All You Need' Solidstate Amp

I bought the Magni3 from HPZ (good people they are!) to replace my 5 year old O2 which is still an excellent amp. But Magni3 is better than O2, I must say. Magni3 has much more power, SQ is a shade better. It looks good too. Being Class AB (which is good), it generates a little heat. At 12 to 1 o'clock position, Magni3 drives the LCD-2C extremely well. With HD650, maybe I can go upto 2 o'clock position. That's all I need, I don't want to damage my ears. I would readily and strongly recommend Magni3 as the last desktop solidstate amp you need to buy.

good

A good deal overall

Aside from magni 3 being a clean and powerful amp for your mid tier audiophile needs, buying it from headphone zone is also very convenient. This website is listed on schiit.com as distributor so you can be assured that you are getting a genuine product. 9999 ₹ is actually a pretty good price in india considering you are not paying for international shipping, custom duties and also wait time is significantly lower.
