Why does Schiit use unbalanced cables? I have the Magni 3 and I need RCA cables. Doesnt RCA add unwanted noise and TRS or XLR would be better?

Anyway, which RCA to RCA cable would you buy in Thomann? im making a purchase there so I would like to buy there along with the rest of stuff. I just cant find the shorter ones. This one is shortest i've found:

Certainly. Most any RCA audio cable will work fine. I use Schiit PYST RCA myself, they are good and half the length of those you linked, 0.15m (6 inches).

I did the same when I bought the Magni/Modi stack the PYST cables was a no brainer so i would have a working unit when it arrived without having long cables in the way.

Because you bought an entry level amplifier, balanced means nothing

Hey guys,

Can someone briefly summarize the Schiit tube amp lineup?

Up and downsides of those, when choose Lyr over Valhalla and vice versa.
Do they offer something over the Mjolnir, or is it best to go for the Mjolnir if one can afford it?

Primary use case would be planars with low impedance like Arya and Empyrean (32 Ohms) or LCD-2C (70 Ohms)

I currently have:
Modi Multibit
Vali 2
Jotunheim
Lyr 3

New Modius should be here Monday. My 5th Schiit purchase.

 

[PrincessLeliana]

Got a mjolnir and a modius in the mail, gonna paint them both pink. Very hyped for these

 

[Deaj]

My current Schiit gear:

• (x2) EITR's
• Modi Multibit
• Modi 3
• Saga
• Loki Mini
• Lyr 3
• Magni 3

I'm likely going to swap the EITR-> Modi 3-> Magni 3 bedroom/budget rig out for a Modius-> Asgard 3 at some point this year (unless a better budget Schiit headphone amp is introduced before then).

Here's the stack of Schiit on my desktop...

The Modius is really good. I've owned a Modi multibit, Modi 3, Bifrost multibit, and Bifrost 4490. I've never been a big delta sigma DAC fan but the Modius has changed my mind.

Yeah I'm super hype! I'm upgrading from having just a zendac, paired with my new hifiman anandas this is going to rock my frickin world!

In my experience balanced connections deteriorate far less over time than rca connectors, especially if they are unplugged/pulled back in with any repetition.
This isn't a huge deal for some, but after say 6 months to a year, you pull your cables out and clean them along with their mated connectors, and then listen, well you just might gain a new appreciation for using balanced connections.

Just say'n is all.

I just upgraded from a modi magni stack to a jotunheim with the multibit dac. Super excited as tomorrow it comes in and i have a balanced cable for my hd 800s which i love!

 

[ozz]

I had to upgrade and order an Asgard 3 with multibit now just waiting for delievery.

One of my offspring likes my Modi 3 so much he disappeared it into his cave. Must speak to him about that.

Has anyone compared the Modi 3 to the new Modius? I would be interested...

Personally I prefer the Modius over the Modi 3. Definitely worth the extra hundred bucks. Better bass definition, a more spacious soundstage with more breathing room between the instruments. I'm putting my Modius right up there with the Modi multibit or Bifrost multibit. Of course this is just my preference.
