So no closeout on the old Magni's?

 

[alpovs]

That's why there's one less now.
Good no?

No. Mine didn't disappear.

In case it gets buried, to summarize, today we:

1. Introduced Magni 3, a $99 fully-discrete, fully-complementary, current-feedback headphone amp and preamp, for $99, bringing better-than-Magni-2-Uber-functionality-and-performance to a price point $50 less. If you ordered a Magni 2 or Uber in the last 30 days, contact orders@schiit.com and they'll get you taken care of with swaps, refunds, or both.
2. Changed the top of the Modi 2 to aluminum to match the Magni 3, since it is frequently stacked with that product, reaping huge sonic benefits (just kidding, this is a cosmetic change, and if you need a steel-top one, just ask.)
3. Lowered the price for Vali 2 to $149, reflecting new production efficiencies and making it an even better bargain. Again, contact orders@schiit.com if you got one from us in the last 30 days, and we'll take care of you.

Wow. Just wow. You're running a fantastic business Jason (and Mike). Your continued pursuit of improvements, lowering of costs, and passing these on as price reductions to your customers, (while still considering your existing ones as above) is a model not just for this industry, but for countless others. Bravo!

Amen! Amazing. I woke up late and missed all then fun. No other company I know in this industry would work for constant improvement at lower cost. No wonder were fans.

Thank you very much. I have already sent a request for a refund for the difference in price.

Just so you guys don't think I'm BSing on Asgard 3 prototypes...



...but please note this is not a product, and never will be...it was simply a path to Magni 3.

Great news. I've put off buying one for nearly a year thinking a new version might come along. Was about to go ahead and grab the Magni 2 as a birthday present to myself. Fantastic timing.

I notice there is no "3" on the front of the amp in the product images. Does this reflect a new direction or was this so the same tops could be used for existing Magni 2 units?

New direction--like Fulla 2, there's no "2" on Fulla 2.

@Jason Stoddard

Are front power switches on the roadmap? Please?

 

[alpovs]

gave Alex a bit of a headache, because now he had to forecast the demand for both products and keep both in stock.

Can we blame Alex for Yggdrasil being always out of stock? I am waiting for mine, and many people in the Yggdrasil thread reported long wait times in the recent past.

And a photo of the Magni 3 board, before the nice shots show up.

From the Magni 3 FAQ: "fully discrete, fully complementary all-bipolar, symmetrical current-feedback design with no capacitors in the signal path and DC servo". Does it mean DC servo is there or not? I think grammatically it means it has DC servo. But it reads like it's not there.

There's plenty of space in there for a screen and a VU metter

Well, my Magni 2 Uber isn't even 7 months old, but I just ordered a Magni 3. Why not?
