Headphone Amp Comparison

Schiit Magnius vs Schiit Asgard

	Schiit Magnius The Magnius is an extremely affordable balanced headphone amp and pre-amp that punches way above its weight. At this price point, the Magnius is unrivaled for features. $199.00 MSRP More Information	Schiit Asgard Asgard 3 is a highly powerful, highly affordable, modular headphone amp and preamp that gives you a complete, single-box solution for all your desktop needs. It’s a re-thinking of the headphone amp that started it all (for Schiit, anyway—the original Asgard, introduced in June 2010, was our first product.) Asgard 3 features our unique Continuity™ topology that extends the benefits of Class A output, and accepts all the same modules as Jotunheim and Lyr 3. $199.00 MSRP More Information

Reviews	Joshua Valour Recommended 8/10 Headfonics One thing that I would have wanted more of with the Magnius though is the way it presents soundstage. Audio Science Review For a balanced input and output the Schiit Magnius provides superb performance objectively and subjectively at incredibly low price for this class.	No reviews available
