About the Magni Unity, I’ve been using Schiit Audio products for a long time. It started with the original Magni & Modi where you had to press the rubber feet in by hand. Yeah, long time ago. When the all in one version with the DAC inside came out, I was immediately attracted to it. In real live, it looks great with the new silver case and warm orange/red LED inside. The volume knob is better then before, you can clearly see what the dial is pointing at and the pot allows for finer control even at low levels without any imbalance between left and right. Of course it is not as smooth as bigger knob on the Asgard which may feel better but you do pay extra for that and personally I am more then happy with the volume control on this Magni Unity. The iteration improvements comparing it to the Magni Uber (which I love and still use for work) are really noticeable. It is so nice to have an all in one solution with DAC card. The box included a USB C to A cable which I use with a small USB A to C converter to hook the Magni Unity up to my Ipad Pro for streaming. The DAC inside includes the Unison USB tech and the ESS DAC. I was wondering how this sounds compared to the AKM DAC in the Modi without the Unison. Well, short version it is better. I do not need the separated DAC Modi, the DAC Card inside is really better. I noticed this right away on the highs. They are nicer sounding, more detailed and more live like. However I will be keeping the Modi as I also have a Loki Mini so when I want to EQ a certain album, I can do that in my new Schiit stack. Magni Unity what I use now most of the time and the stack Modi>Loki>Unity for if I want to EQ or use my CD Player connected through COAX. Perfect how this set has worked out. If I would start from scratch, I would use the Magni Unity with the Ipad Pro and be done. I find it that good sounding. The Magni Unity drives two headphones for me. A Beyerdynamic DT1990 with 250 OHMs. The amp has more then enough power to drive them at about 11 o’clock. And the Meze 99 Classics which have a much lower impedance at about 9 o’clock. I use both Cans in high gain setting. As with the Asgard I find high gain my preferred listening setting. The Asgard has too much power for my taste. Like I always was listening too loud where as the Magni is much better and just sounds right and I have more control. The Magni Unity with DAC has better highs as described. It drives the bass with precision and authority. Voices sound like you are there. The signature is just like the Asgard what I would describe as a happy amp. Something that you want to listen to for enjoyment of the music. So conclusion for me is that I am happy to have bought the Schiit Magni Unity. It really is a remarkable amp and it makes me want to listen to music.
