I have the Magni 3 and i find it not bad.
It is suffisant for me.I think it.

2 month later i buy the Schiit Vali 2.
Many says Magni 3 and Vali 2 are same.
I find not.When i compare i find the Vali 2 with the right tube is beautiful,more clarity,more details and warmer as the Magni.
I find the Magni have a little more Base.But is to static for me of a side, when i campare it with the Vali.I miss a little bit the Vali 2 have.

But i have the two product from Schiit and can say i love this Shiit.I would not miss it.I am happy to buy it a little peace from Amercian sound.I love it.
The price is good and is not so Problematic as the Massdrop product.
For example the CTH in the rewies many have problems with it.With the Vali no i have it round about 2-3 month and never problems with it.
And cost the half of the price.
The only thing who Schiit is very crap is the transformator.It is powerfull okay but not beautiful.And need many place in the socket.
I find aschiit can it do better,a nother case perhaps.

"i have the two product from Schiit and can say i love this Shiit" - Best one Ive heard as of yet!

If the transformers doesn’t fit in the socket or prevent other things from being plugged in, try using a short extension cord in between the transformer and the socket, like this one:

Contact amy@schiit.com and we'll either take care of it at no charge, or send you parts if sending in the Magni isn't an option.

Thank you very much Jasnon, this really made my day better!

Oh, WOW! I don't know why I didnt think to add a short extension. I had to do this in a previous apartment, where the place i wanted the fridge to be was literally a foot too far for the cord so i made an extension about 18" long with beefier gauge wire than the fridge. I hate how both my Schiit Magni and Modi wall warts cause me to lose the neighboring receptacle on their power strip so a couple extension cords are in order.

Thanks, for the reminder.

Modi 3: All The DAC You Need. Plug Modi 3 into any virtually any computer with the included USB to micro cable and you're ready to go. - From Schiit Website. Just one wall wart for the Magni 3 is all I find I need. Hope that's ok configuration?

 

[dcime]

The Modi 3 ONLY has micro USB in/out X 2.

How would this compare to a Garage 1313 Polaris? I had the Rev A Magni and it was a fantastic amp for the price back in the day.

Can anyone compare this to the Garage 1313 Polaris?

I ordered a magni 3 through Amazon to put on my desktop. It arrived DOA from the manufacturer (no sound in one channel). Not too impressed.

Yes, I’ve been doing this for 45+ years, I know how to figure out where the problem is and it was the amp. I opted for a refund rather than be their QC tester.

Definitely start with the cables. Also here: https://www.schiit.com/guides/amp-problems

I had some brand new cables because i accidentally bought 2 pairs and switched it and it still randomly pans to the left from time to time... really confused. If its not the cable then its the audio kontrol 1 where I plug the magni or the magni itself.... damn
