Hey guys, Today we’re introducing the Magni 3 headphone amplifier—a fully discrete, fully complementary, current-feedback, linear-supply, 2W RMS into 32 ohms, insanely clean-measuring headphone amp—for $99. You could say that today is the end of the low end of the high end, because nothing...

  Hey everyone,   So what’s the best gag you can play on April 1? The one where the gag is real.   We’ve just opened a retail store.   Yes, you read that right. And yes, we’re 100% serious. in fact, the store is open today, and I'll be there, and if anyone’s in the area, please feel free...

Hey everyone,   It’s getting towards the end of the year, but that doesn’t mean we’re out of time for another surprise. Specifically, the all-new Fulla 2.   “Fulla 2,” you say, bored. “The world doesn’t need another dongle-DAC, does it? Isn’t that so 2014?”   Right. Gotcha. And that’s why...

  Another SchiitShow? Yes. And after this one, desktop audio may never be the same. We’re introducing a new product that is a real rule-breaker…and potentially a big game-changer.   I can’t say much, other than to say that if you thought this morning’s announcement of Modi Multibit was cool...

Hey everyone,   Let’s start our product announcements this year with something really low…specifically, the lowest-cost advanced multibit DAC out there, by any manufacturer, from any country on the planet. Welcome to Modi Multibit.    At only $249, you’d expect a super stripped-down DAC...

Inexpensive tube amps are usually an exercise in compromise. They’re either inflexible, not suited for sensitive headphones, not using the tubes to their full potential, or all three. Look at Vali. It was a great amp—as long as you had full-sized, not-too-sensitive headphones, and you could...

Nope, this ain't a sale.    However, if you want to save money on B-Stock* products, we've now made it easier than ever. All B-Stock is now part of the main product page. In other words, go to, say, the Lyr 2 page, select "B-Stock" as an option, and save $50.   Not all products have B-Stock...

What do you call a budget DAC that’s 4 years old? Well, “discontinued,” “obsolete,” or “in the dumpster” come to mind.   That is, except for Bifrost. Introduced over 4 years ago, Bifrost is still the only fully modular, completely upgradable DAC in its price range. And as of today, it’s a very...

    Three new products. Two new ideas.   One SchiitShow!   Yes, that’s right. We’re doing our own show. Why? Because we weren't ready for the SF/Bay Area meet in July, and I’m too lazy to go back to the UK for CanJam London later this year. (Don’t worry, Electromod will have you covered...

Hey all,   Buckle up, because this is likely our biggest announcement of the year: the next-generation Magni 2 and Modi 2…together with their Uber counterparts.   There are four products in second-gen Magni/Modi family:   Magni 2. All-new discrete headphone amp with 1.2W RMS per channel...

Hey all,   Yes, that’s right. Fulla. Our new $79 combo DAC/amp that plugs into virtually any computer, delivers up to 24/96 high definition audio, 5-10x the output power of your typical laptop headphone output, and features a real, live, honest analog volume knob!   Yes. No fiddling with...

Hey all,   It’s (almost) that time! Ragnarok ordering time, that is.    However, since we are being uber-cautious with this release, as it is the most complex product we’ve made, and has several never-before-done features, we’ve decided to start with a short “public beta” period for a...

Hey all,   Yep, you asked for it, hell, you predicted it… and now, Valhalla 2 and Lyr 2 are here! If you're near TheShow Newport, stop by and have a listen. And, check out our new Wyrd USB descrewifier and Mani phono preamp, as well as a production Ragnarok.   "Wait, wait, wait!" You say...

Hey all,   Before we get into the big 2014 product releases (Ragnarok, Yggdrasil, etc, etc...), I figured I'd let you know about two new things we have available now: Modi Optical and Sys.   Modi Optical is exactly what it says: a Modi with optical input. Now, I know some of you are...

Hey all, I’m Jason Stoddard, the co-founder (with Mike Moffat) of Schiit Audio. You may have seen some of my posts on Head-fi. But you haven’t heard the full story of Schiit…why we started the company, how we’ve grown from June 2010 to today, the good stuff…and the bad stuff. So, in a burst of...

Hey all,   Time for a left turn into tubeland. Yes, that’s right. Think of Magni—but with tubes. Except this really isn’t a Magni with tubes. It’s a completely different design, built around the specific requirements of the tiny NOS JAN Raytheon pencil tubes we’re using. The only thing that’s...

Hey all,   For a while now, some of you have been asking for black finish on our Schiit. And I've always said, "Nope, sorry, gotta keep it simple, we can have only one finish."   That is, until our metal supplier sent us some black chassis by mistake. For whatever reason, they decided to...

Hey all,   You've been wondering what Schiit was going to do about DSD for a while now. Today, we have the answer: Loki, a dedicated DSD DAC and switching system that you can use to add DSD to any DAC—not just ours!   Yes, you read that right. DSD for any DAC. $149.   This is the least...

Hey all,   When we announced Bifrost and Gungnir, we said these DACs were pretty much “future proof,” since they’re upgradable. Now, it’s time to announce the first upgrades!   Bifrost Uber This DAC/Analog upgrade card improves the sonic and measured performance of Bifrost, using a...

Hey guys,   When I said we’d only announce one-and-only breakthrough products, I wasn’t kidding. Today, I’m pleased to announce the new Schiit Glo, the world’s only atomic-powered portable headphone amplifier!   Featuring a 1.5 x 10E6 year half-life (or 15 million years for those more...

Hey all,   Think back to 2010.   When we launched Asgard, the world of headphones was a lot smaller. Desktop audio was really in its infancy. And, to tell the truth, we didn’t really know if we’d be selling a ton of Asgards—or giving our friends headphone amps for Christmas presents...

Hey all,   I said we weren’t going to be announcing new products until we actually had stock on shelves, so here we go—the $99 Magni amp and $99 Modi DAC...available now.   Yes, now. Check em out:   Magni: $99, 1.2W Discrete Amp   Yes, you read that right. Magni is the most...

Hey all,   In a not-quite-entirely-frivolous announcement, we're introducing a short pair of RCA cables for stacking our amps and DACs: the Schiit PYST.   Yes, PYST. PYST was the god of drinking in Norse mythology. He’d be much better-known if he wasn’t getting schiit-faced all the...

Hey all,   A quick announcement: we've made some changes to the Valhalla so you can swap different input tubes. Now, in addition to the 6N1P, you can run all 6DJ8 type tubes, including the NOS GE 6BZ7s, 6922s, E88CCs, and 6N23Ps!   Best of all, if you purchased a Valhalla from Schiit or...

Hey all,   It's that time of year again--time we pick your brains. The topic of SACD and its associated DSD datastream have come up in questions about our DAC products, and we want to know what you think about it.   So, in order:   1. Are you familiar with SACD? DSD? 2. Do you own...
