At the end every year the co-founder of Schiit audio, Jason Stoddard, makes a post talking about how the year went for the company. It's a great and honest insight into how the company deals with issues like supply disruption and how the economy effects their business. Everyone should take the time to read the post even if you're not an audiophile.

It was a good read. I am kind of excited to see what they release next year. Glad to see some of those releases could potentially be around $300 or under.

I remember reading something about Schiit AMP’s frying headphone drivers in certain cases. Should I continue using the Magni H with my Sundara?

You are fine

Thanks ☺️

What about my question, though?

Qc issues primarily but if it ever happened to you they are gonna refund/replace the amp and whatever cans it fried.

Magni Heresy? You're actually not fine, only the new Magni + and Magni Heretic have built-in DC protection, the originals were directly DC coupled and an 'accident' is not entirely impossible (although very unlucky).

The extra little circuit might explain the price rise over $99..

Thank you for informing me. Thank fuck I stopped using it once I heard those rumours. Q5K balanced is more than enough for the Sundaras.

Oh yeah a dongle like that outputting balanced can already power a fuckton of headphones :)

Thanks for the explanation, I should’ve checked before telling it was fine. Sorry

Sure. And well in all likely event it's fine but there are some stories..

He isnt though. I recently swapped out my Magni Heresy for the same reason.

Guess they forgot to mention

"Knowingly sold products without proper protection, but made a new product that addresses that, so just give us more money for proper version of a potentially dangerous product"

Right? It's been an issue for like 5 years, and they've finally fixed it. It'd be one thing if it were just an isolated product run, but for this long? "Shit" seems to describe more than just their name.
