The Magni 3 has double the output power of the original Magni and adds the preamplifier outputs and aluminum top from the Uber. The Magni 3 replaces the original Magni and the Magni Uber. Schiit calls the Magni 3 a “fully discrete, fully complementary, all-bipolar, symmetrical current-feedback design with no capacitors in the signal path and DC servo.” The power supply is a wall-wart style 24VA/14VAC transformer that is regulated to produce +/-17-volt rails with over 6000uF filter capacitance.Īs its name suggests, the Magni 3 isn’t the first Magni that Schiit has produced. Crosstalk is -70dB down whether the gain is set for 6dB (low) or 17dB (high). Signal-to-noise is a very quiet 108dB unweighted at 1 volt RMS. With less than 0.001% total harmonic distortion from 20Hz to 20kHz at 1 volt RMS, and less than 0.02% at 5 volts RMS into 32 ohms, its intermodulation distortion figure is under 0.001% CCIF. On the tech side the Magni 3 has some excellent specifications. While I didn’t try this, I suspect that you could run over the Magni 3 case with a Ford F-150 without damaging its inner workings. Even its metal case sports a better-quality finish and more robust construction than the vast majority of “entry-level” components I’ve seen. The Magni 3, while inexpensive, is not some cheaply made, replace-as-soon-as-possible component. Schitt claims its Magni 3, which costs less than a C-note, can not only power hard-to-drive headphones, but is also quiet enough to use with in-ear monitors. But what if you want a headphone amp that can drive difficult headphones? Well, Schiit Audio has that covered, too, with its new Magni 3 headphone amplifier. And companies such as FIIO have players that support up to 96/24 FLAC files for under $100. I can think of at least a half-dozen more-than-listenable earphones for that amount, or less. What does that buy you these days? If you focus solely on high-performance audio gear, it buys you some pretty cool stuff.
