I was A/B testing between two different headphones last night on a Magni 3. At one point, the 1/4" jack was about 3/4 of a cm from being fully inserted, but I didn't notice. About 30 seconds later, I could smell burning electronics. I immediately turned off the unit, but it continued to smell for the next half hour. Upon inspecting the unit, it still worked fine.
An email with schiit later confirmed that there is no short protection in the magni 3 and that it could damage the amp, but they didn't comment if it could damage the headphones.
dumb move on my part for not filly inserting the plug, but are there and amps that do provide some kind of short protection? I have little ones around and this could definitely happen again with me not around.
