Maybe by next October, a $59 Magni 3+/Heresy "SE" (Student Edition)? Sounds like a good cause.

Stack is gonna have three colors with the black modi. Red, black and gray .Oh I didn't realize there's a black Modi 3, no need for Modi Heresy then .
Does this mean something special?I think you will see in 2020 that Schiit has come a long way.
Music rarely is 2W continuous.
Even when pumping out 2W peaks in music the average would be 0.2W or even lower.
Spread this over multiple output devices and the heat won't be a problem.
Only with testing it is.
I would not use it with speakers or run it at full power for long at 16 Ohm because the opamps will be current limiting and there will still be a lot of voltage (with high current) across the opamps which will heat up quite quickly being SMD.
Not suited to drive small speakers.
Devices like this should be used what they are designed for.... Headphones.
@makmeksam look at all Schiit has accomplished in 2019 I think it is unprecendented. Early next year all upgradeable DACs will have the new Unison USB receiver Bifrost 2 has, which is a big deal. They may still get the Jotunheim R out this month, which I have been waiting for.
Hugely so. I think people didn't know what proper measurements can look like. Throwing graphs at people with text that often disagreed with them was a disservice to everyone and waste of resources.
The other problem was slow rate/pace of measurements. Would you believe I have tested 167 headphone amplifiers so far? Without that context it is hard to put value on measurements.
Does this mean something special?
Knowing what our audience likes to see in audio products, do you think 2020 will be a fantastic year for us too or just Schiit?I think 2020 will be a fantastic year for Schiit. Stay tuned.
I don't trust the impressions in that review. The are cliche predispositions against well measuring gear. I specifically listened to the effects he mentions and there is none there. Please see my listening impressions in the review.Update: nevermind. found this https://www.headphones.com/blogs/ne...-heresy-headphone-amplifier-review-comparison Modi3+ for me
Thx for review, Amir! Since I own Magni 2, and know it sounds really good, if it was my choice, I'd go with Magni 3+. But lots of folks will probably try Heresy - so I wish people would post some listening impressions. I'm strong believer that both good sound and good measurements should be married in one product.
