You're cornering the Piety market!

I listened with the Piety all working day yesterday with Dethonray Tender 1 planar IEM with ifI Gryphon doing DAC duties. Near the end of the day I plugged the Dethonray straight into the Gryphon and kept listening to the same album. I was immediately struck by how "clean" the Gryphon sounded by comparison, smooth and open, clear space between the sounds, better separation.

I'm running the Piety with a Gryphon, and found the exact opposite. The Gryphon headphone jack sounded so much more closed in and coarse by comparison.

Hmm hoarding is not good imo.
And I don’t know what will happen if my Magni piety has faulty in warranty period . It will be very likely to get a refund instead of a new amp replacement .

Well better than some other gear that will cost more in shipping back to manufacturer for repairs under warranty than the cost of the Piety.

I am assuming you were probably listening with different headphones.

Maybe not insensitive planar IEM.

Might be a difference there.

NItsch has a certain %age of amps for warranty issues that he kept off market. It's standard operating procedure.

Thank you! Someone else also alerted me to this, and it might already be sold.
Another will come along...

So, I got sucked into the black friday sales and finally made the jump into some midfi headphone equipment with a pair of DC Aeon Open Xs (on sale for $299 at Drop) and then when researching amps I impulse bought a Piety after watching a video on it from CheapAudioMan. I think this is my best impulse buy in a long time! I have been listening to the pair all week and it blows my old 'gaming' headsets out of the water. Current set up is a little janky but its working for now: Old iPad with a headphone jack to the piety via a 3.5mm to RCA cable. I experimented quite a bit between low and high gain and am really liking high gain!

Question for the group: I am also getting a Magnius/Modius stack and once I get them I was thinking to move the piety to my home theater AVR so it can pull double duty for music and movies (I have a 15 month old so the theater system doesnt get much use at the moment). Has anyone watched any movies through the piety?

Sure. George Lucas joked in a keynote speech I attended that people really go to the movies to listen to the music. Movies soundtracks are dynamic, however, and commercials can be loud.

A DAC in the loop provides the real benefits. A modest DAC is likely better than what’s in TVs. Multiple inputs gives you convenient switching. You can feed a preamp or receiver for even more flexibility. But I’ll watch things on my mobile devices and listen through the Piety (or portable DAC/AMPs).

Don’t know if this the correct thread for this but the True Multibit Dac module is in stock at Schiit for $200 in regular stock ( not b stock or close out) I think it’s the same as the previous version. Pairs well w Piety if you need all in one w Asgard, jot or Lyr

 

[archisan]

Weird that it’s not available as an option but only in the upgrades section
