MAGNI 3 Heresy

Schiit Magni 3 Heresy

This is no “starter amp.” Schiit Magni 3 Heresy has the power, performance, resolution, and Measurements to meet all your needs—no matter the headphone.

Magni 3 Heresy raise the bar even higher for affordable headphone amps, with by far the highest output power in their price class and at least 200% higher than any competitor. At the same time, they provide the cleanest measured performance of any Magni, ever. Go ahead. Compare these new Magnis to anything out there at the price, and we think you’ll agree: there’s really no competition.

Your Choice: High Performance…or Even Higher

For Magni 3+, we pulled out all the stops in designing the highest performing discrete Magni ever, by any metric—power, distortion, or noise floor. But it’s easy to get even higher measured performance from integrated (op amp) designs, so we decided to give you a choice, with Magni Heresy. 

Choose Magni 3+ for the ultimate expression of an affordable all-discrete current-feedback headphone amp. It’s now seriously like a mini speaker amp, right down to the driver stage and Vbe multiplier. Magni 3+ is in our traditional silver and gray chassis.

Choose Magni 3 Heresy for insanely great measurements from an all-op-amp based headphone amp that uses super high quality parts, including a multiple paralleled output stage with feedforward. Magni Heresy is in a black and red chassis.

Both amps sound fantastic. You really can’t make a wrong choice. 

Versatility Comes Standard

Magni 3 Heresy include preamp outputs. This means you can connect to your desktop powered monitors for a complete system—or even connect it to a speaker power amp and use it as a preamp. With its built-in time-delayed start-up and instant shut-down, there’ll be no glitches or pops through either headphones or speakers, either.

By “designed and built in California" this is what Schiit mean: the vast majority of the total production of the Magni—chassis, boards, transformers, assembly, etc—stays local. The chassis are made minutes from their facility. The PCBs are done in Nevada. Yes, the wall-warts are made in China, but there's some give and take at this price point. 

2-Year Warranty 

Magni3 Heresy is covered by a limited warranty that covers parts and labour for two years.
