Well, the Vali3 does have the 100 volt rails of the Lyr+ now. That allows more linearity which allows less life sucking negative feedback. The Magni Unity, for $119 is a worthy experiment to find out just how close it comes to my Jotenheim 2 and Asgard 3 (I sold it). If I order it, I will report back. I'm also not so sure that Jotenheim is a "giant" to kill. It's a midrange unit. The Lyr+ I know nothing about.... but I'm not going to spend $599 to find out either.

Yeah I paid my lesson, that's why I'm cautious. I bought into the "Pietus Maximus is 80% of MJ3" and paid $625 new to find out I didn't really like it.
And recently I bought BF2/64 because "it's almost a Yggy". I need to stop buying into hype LOL.
Long story short, one person's "giant killer" is another person's "meh." That's not to say that the Vali 3 is "meh," but it might be for me and won't solve my problem. So, I'm with you.
I don’t know if the Vali 3 is a giant killer but I would put it in the same space as the OG Mani.
Great at what it does and you would need too spend more to better it.
Stayed up until 3.30 am this morning listening to it with a Ibasso DC03 pro as the dac.
Using a GE JAN 5670 valve.
The 03 pro can be had for £35.00 from Ali.
