Bought direct from Nitsch in July, and only selling now as I am going to be buying some power-hungry planars.

Schiit Collab Happens
While traveling around SoCal, Christian met up with Schiit co-founder Jason Stoddard at Schiit's Valencia location. He got the chance to listen to an odd and interesting little amp. The Magni Piety ("Apostolic Edition" at the time) had the look of a Magni amp, but its topology was closer to the Jotunheim 2. It's reliance on certain parts made it infeasible for Schiit to produce at scale. But could there at least be a limited run? The amp became a perfect mission for NITSCH.
Solid state practicality, tube-like sound
Piety’s design is a new take on the Continuity circuit used in the Jotunheim 2. Its output stage features a massively-paralleled transistor design that creates some triode-like characteristics. In plain English, Piety is half the size of a Jotunheim 2, uses smaller transistors, and was tweaked for a bit of tube-like sound.
Measurements aren’t the whole story
In many ways, the Piety’s design is the opposite of the Magni Heresy. (Piety vs. Heresy, get it?) While the Heresy uses op-amps, the Piety uses discrete parts. While the Heresy aims for the lowest distortion of any Magni, the Piety exhibits distortion characteristics, gain curves, and square waves resembling tube amps.
“Piety often felt as if it was a skillful combination of the powerful bass reminiscent of EC 300B, magic mid-range of SW51+ and high end transient response usually associated with Cavalli amps.”
