@Vtsailor ... the MacMini is a good choice ... I use mine exclusively for audio. Have you considered a refurb model on Amazon ... there are some reputable dealers

LOL! You dastardly deed-er. That'll crash and burn the whole system and wreck everything.

That will actually make up for the people who order both, do a case swap because they like the new colors, and send back the leftovers...

But it's solid state. Doesn't even need a power switch. Now moving the power switch to the front on tubed components...that would make me as happy as a pig in schiit.

Some people would argue for switches on solid state gear, so they can save $2 a year and the planet.

If Magni+ is like Vidar, does that mean Asgard 3 is like an Aegir? Is it a more advanced amp? Which one measures better?

I believe both the Asgard 3 and the Aegir are Class A biased amps with Continuity™

I love things that fall outside the norm in general. Hell, I'm 6'2" and I drive a little red Fiat 500 Abarth hatchback. It's my baby, and screw it if it's not a typical "man's" vehicle. Sounds like a mini Ferrari too, right out of the factory. Go against the grain, I say.

I believe that there are two types of relationships that people have with their cars. The more common type is as extension of yourself. Which in males is the need to get a "man' s car. " I personally prefer cars a bit like my women, petite and energetic.

Asgard is a headphone amp, while Aegir is designed to drive speakers. A 1 to 1 comparison is really not relevant.

No. They are Class AB amps with Continuity™.

Now extrapolate for the 10's of 1,000s Schitt has likely sold.

I bet @Jason Stoddard would do that for the Lyr 3+
Add black color option or (even better) black & red - and I am upgrading my Lyr 3 !!!

This is not directly related to Schiit but will likely end up using some of their equipment. My cousin loves to listen to music but due to a degenerative disease he has lost a goodly portion of his eyesight and can no longer read CD cases to select his music. He can see well enough to navigate on the large iPad he has though. What would be the least expensive option for storing his CD’s that would allow him to select them via his iPad and then connect to his stereo? I was thinking of the Schiit Modi for the DAC but the only solution for the storage that I’m familiar with is to use a Mac mini. That’s a bit much for his budget, are there more economical choices out there?

Thank you and best holiday wishes to all.

An older Mac Mini will work just fine and be quite affordable.

Edit: Ah. @Charente beat me to it.

I 3rd the used Mac Mini. I got one for $400 that I use. Could have gone even cheaper though. He can probably pick up a decent for close to $200 with a little searching.

And therefore you drive...?
