people kept telling me that the heresy was not an upgrade to the liquid spark, but when i got it i was blown away at least with planars. it just added so much to the music. and then i got the modi 3+ and it added that extra crisp air that i was missing with my more entry level fiio DAC. really a great combo. i have the modius for my speaker amp and that is very impressive for 200$ schiit is my current favorite audio company for people on a budget.
It is a small company and it is sad that your continent has sold its economic soul to China. There is no reason why the import taxes are so high from America but not from China. It's basically the same distance. I will never buy another Chinese audio product again. They're the most digital sounding boring equipment I've heard. Not to mention basically non-existent customer service and after warranty support. I'm sure there are plenty of Good products made in Europe there is no need to support China other than certain disposable items or if someone is in poverty and has no choice
It's easy actually. Companies like SMSL (and others) have distribution chains and actual stock inside europe. So once someone decides to buy a SMSL unit the unit will be shipped from within the European Union, which means lower or free shipping costs and no additional import taxes or customs fees.
They do deliver a good value. I have heard most of their products. Schiit from my knowledge has gotten better about restocking their EU store. But that is just a few stories. I don't think it's a fair comparison considering topping SMSL and aune are basically a giant corporation. At least their distributors are. Funny then the new line of schiit products like the magnious then I used for my balanced speaker amp. Measure better than the Chinese competitors. Maybe not the top of the line but noticeably better than something like the D10S which would be insane 2 years ago.
probably however it is very neutral despite being a discrete design. so if you believe amps can "color" the sound go for it. you have a better chance of that with the asgard 3 however i would suggest lyr 3 for grados.
1) I checked my Schiit Modis and Schiit Magnis and only ONE out of the FIVE of them have that dent marks in the screw holes. I never noticed them until you pointed it out. Not really noticeable unless you are looking for it.Hello. I bought a brand new Schiit Stack (Modi 3+, Magni 3+ and Vali 2+) and I just received it, but, so far, I noticed some small “problems”:
1) I noticed that there were some small “scratches” in all of them and always in the same place (screw hole). I contacted Schiit and they answered that: “Those are common marks. Since they are the result of the anodizing process they will all have that mark”.
2) I noticed on it when I went to adjust the volume knob it did not feel smooth when turning it, it felt scratchy when turning it. After some minutes, I realized that the knob was pressed against the chassis of the amp, so I took the knob off and then place the knob back with a little space between the knob and the chassis. Apparently, the problem has been solved.
My question is: Is this really normal with Schiit equipment or I've got bad ones?
*as you may have noticed by my English (hahaha), I am not from the USA, so unfortunately it would be too expensive for me to send them back to replace them.
Thanks.
You don't have headphones plugged into the 1/4" jack when trying to play sound out of the powered monitors, right?
You need a splitter. Modi output RCA split to both input RCA on each Magni amp.
Here is my cheap recipe to split to many:
