Schiit Magni Unity - Impressions Thread

They always include the cable

While I don't have this exact unit but based from my experience with any Schiit DAC is that they never include any cable.

So there is super high chance that it won't come with cable, you're better off buying another one for her to be on the safe side.

Even the Pietus Maximus with DAC card didn't come with any cable.

Hope this helps, and I hope your niece enjoys the unit!

Looks like it can go either way with included cables. I think I’ll go ahead and email Schiit to be sure. I’ll report back on what they say. Thanks for the responses!

Did everyone that bought a Magni Unity with the DAC card get a USB A to USB C cable included with the unit? I’m buying this as a gift for my niece and want to make sure she’ll have everything she needs in the box.

USB-C is inculed.

USB-C is inculed.

Was it USB A to C or USB C on both sides of the cable?

USB A to C. Regular cable you could expect.

Ok, great. Thanks for the info!

Is that a new thing? I've bought so many Schiit DACs and they've never included data cable for me, only the power cable.

Schiit DACs I've owned before:

Modi 3+
Modi Multibit 1
Modi Multibit 2
Bifrost 2
Bifrost 2/64
Pietus Maximus with ESS DAC Card

I've never seen any USB cable.

I can confirm that my magni unity with the dac option also included a usb cable. Very convenient.

Modi 3+ and Modi+ have USB cables in my psckages

My stock cable is still sealed in its plastic in the package. It is a beefy one and kind of short for what I needed. Have been using a generic 2 meters cable from Amazon and never had any issues.

The included cable can be seen in a previous picture, squeezed between the two Magnis. USB A to C, as others previously confirmed.

They're here:

Great gift. I wish I had such uncle back in the day.

What?!??!? I've been ripped off.

But yeah could definitely be a new thing then.

Though luckily cables are cheap lol.

I've never seen any USB cable.

I still have my old Modi 3 in the drawer. It came with a cable and a 5V charger.

What?!??!? I've been ripped off.

That's odd.

 

[ckhirnigs113]

Got confirmation from Schiit that they do indeed provide a USB-A to USB-C cable if you get a Magni Unity with the DAC card. I went ahead and ordered a $6 cable from Amazon today in case the included cable is too short.

My niece will be starting her Head-Fi journey with a Magni Unity and HD6XX. Hope she likes it!

Can you describe its sound signature? Neutral, warm, bright? Thanks!
