USA/Canada is sold out. Wow. This is a big win for Cee Tee and the folks who bought one.

Think I ordered the last one. Almost resisted, will replace a IEMagni in my part time (3 to 5 hours a week) room. I have an unused SYS, I'll have to go find it.

Everyone talking about the Magni+ Heretic made me feel like I was being gaslit. I was sure it was Heresy. Or used to be.
Checked my pile of Schiit and sure enough.
box says "SCH 07-3 HERESY", but PCB is marked "MAGNI 3H | 1.00" "HERETICAL EDITION"
(glad that the Magni 3P sold out..I don't need yet another headphone amp right now. those that ordered one, enjoy!!!)

What is the Piety? Totally missed the comments from Jason. I don't see it on the website...

Actually quite pleased with myself for not ordering one. Currently have a Valhalla 2, Jot 1 & 2 and a Magni 3+, as well as a Mojo 2. I kept telling myself I don't need it. But I was sorely tempted.

You have a nice collection of Claritycaps I see.Everyone talking about the Magni+ Heretic made me feel like I was being gaslit. I was sure it was Heresy. Or used to be.

One tube DAC I hope to audition uses ten of them as best I recall.

I think it would be better to have Valhalla 3 but no so bright and edgy sounding.

I rarely read reviews but I did read one after I had already purchased an amp, just to get someone else's take. I loved this paragraph...
"For me, choosing sides in the old tubes-vs–solid state debate is a Solomonic ordeal. I often love the sound of tubes (in the right system), but that soothing, seductive signature is offset by the care and feeding that tube technology seems to require. Plug in a solid state amplifier and you're good to go, probably for decades. Plug in and turn on a tube amp and you've got responsibilities. Depending on the particular model, you may have to make sure there's always a load on the terminals before plugging it in and remind yourself to adjust the bias from time to time (although PrimaLunas, admirably, are truly autobiasing). You also can't help but listen for tubes that are possibly sputtering toward death. You'd best have spares on hand when they finally croak, and be prepared to spring for an entire fresh set every so often. Which, especially in times of tube scarcity—I'm looking at you, Russia—can tax budgets."

I do not mind the responsibilities and I have several sets of extra tubes.

As far as DAC’s I just listen and compare, I personally find it difficult to choose based on what others try to describe.
