Schiit Magnius Balanced Headphone Amp and Preamplifier

What do they sell that needs such a plug? Can’t say I recall coming across one of them.

Makes me wonder how many shipped units they messed up. That costs $, and I know Jason is going to just going to have to soak it.

Sometimes fixing a problem no questions asked engenders more good will than not having the problem in the first place. Weird psychology.

It’s a Vali 2 PSU …

Someone likely just grabbed a PSU from the wrong “VAC” pile when boxing up Magnius packages.

No worries :sunglasses:. My Vali 2 is boxed for easily a year now, but I recognized de Power Supply connector since it looked odd to me when I received. :nerd_face:

My new wallwort arrived yesterday so I was able to use the Magnius for a few hours yesterday and today. Great little amp. So far I can’t really hear any difference between it and the Jotunheim. The only complaint I have at the moment is the balanced headphone connector on the front is not as sturdy as that on the Jotunheim. The mount seems to flex a bit more. Going to spend some time tonight going through different headphones to see how it holds up.

Fedex has been having issues here in California also. Zach said Fedex has been wonky. I usually have Fedex packages held at a nearby 24-hour retail location for pick-up.

Make that nationally. My FedEx Loki/Magni shipment was delayed from the 14th to the 20th.

My FedEx came in about 7 days. To Australia! Win!

And the Magnius is fine. Sounds as expected. Good price, good build.

Confirmed, it’s everywhere. Had a package delayed 4 days. Never did figure out why. Tracking had it in my town for nearly a week.

Interesting. I have noted that things I have ordered recently from the US coming in through USPS have sped up. Maybe folks are using couriers more now due the reported issues with the USPS, reducing the volume they have to process, and FedEx is getting overwhelmed.

I wonder if it has also anything to do with the recent LAX incident?

… sum all those parcels up and then you get…
