Reviews	Joshua Valour Recommended 8/10 Headfonics Despite the slightly narrower soundstage that the Magnius tends to project, it is able to create a very tangible image. Audio Science Review [The Mangius] breaks the price/performance barrier for exceptional performance at budget pricing.	5/5 What Hi-Fi? What Hi-Fi? Awards 2020 winner. Mixed Audio Science Review I see it a step up from $9 dongles but the $99 price is hard to swallow.
