Yes ScubaMan2017, the Tesla powerwalls are worth the hype. They work flawlessly with their solar systems.
If you want the Tesla system (which is very good) be sure your solar array uses one large inverter (DC from the roof.) If you, like me, use microinverters (AC from the roof) Tesla is not compatible. Look into the Enphase systems.

The pre functionality is brilliant. Balanced amp and balanced pre-amp is what made a Topping A90 worth considering. A90 is $499.99. Magnius is $199. Checkmate?

Good job, Schiit.
Absolutely, this is a very smart release from Schiit. The measurements are comparable and the pot is FAR better than the A90. Seriously, the A90 pot is a piece of crap and it feels terrible to adjust. Only downside is the wall-wart but for the $300 price difference? Sure.. I can live with that.

I'll be waiting for a new Gungnir/Yggdrasil and the dream of dreams, a balanced Loki with 6-8 bands

Will it work well with sensitive IEM's? Very tempted to get this as that relatively new but experienced recruit to the engineering team has some skills from what I hear. :wink:

There is also a market for a balanced iem amp like the topping A50 whioch has it's issues. I would personally love a little combo unit with DAC and a TRRS for iems.

Awesome! I second the request for a silver version to match my Modius tho

Now I'm really starting to wonder about getting the Asgard 3 (like I had planned) or the Magnius. Same price (at least for now). One is a Continuity amp but the other is balanced. Magnius is more powerful but I'd need to buy new cables for my headphones. Tough choice ahead.
Yeah, I know it was just released, but I too am wondering how the Magnius sounds side-by side with the Asgard 3, both fed by the Modius, and with the volume levels matched :)
