"bedside setup"... oh people, you're unbelievable...
I'll have to win 2 lotteries to keep up with you guys... lol...

 
If you need two lotteries to buy a $99 amp, you are in dire straits. Damn, I know people who spend more on Legos than I spend on headphone gear.

23mm from the pcb to the top of the enclosure? I see no chance of getting even the smallest available 21-23 stepped attenuator installed due to that size even if you removed the circuity board. Man this schiit is small.

 
Yup. The Magni's teeny tiny alright. So unless you go vertical...

Has anyone here measured their Magni power adapter voltage output and would care to share the results with us please? Cheers

Comes in a pair. Just need to order the one set for 20$ to hook up to your modi, or whatever other device you plan on using.

yes, well, I was picturing a person who has  a 'bedside setup', would have a bedside, a living room, a home office, an office, a portable setup...
hence the comment...
 
Yes yes... Lego wise, I'm one of those persons... or was, when I was 12-15 yo... golden times... 
 
Also, Magni + Modi would arrive at my door for something around 470usd, so it is a bit sour cost/benefit indeed, imo...

mmm.. Economics. Not my best subject but if we are talking USD, my Magni would have cost about $190 (in the uk)

Just a bit under 18 volts unloaded. Why?

Thanks for that, my magni came with a US power adapter that is not suitable in Australia therefore I'm planning to use my O2 PSU instead. And guess what it works like a treat!

Yeah, but in his case we're talking about more than $250 over and above the retail price of the Modi/Magni pair. Hell, I could buy the pair and ship 'em to him via FedEx Express for considerably less than that.

Yeah? Cool beans!
 
Just be careful you're not sending much more than 16 VAC (glancing over at Iamnothim with squinting eyes) to the Magni. The regulators are only using circuit board copper for their heatsinking.
