Continuing the discussion from [Schiit Audio - Official Thread](https://forum.headphones.com/t/schiit-audio-official-thread/2081):

Hi everyone. I just received my new schiit! I purchased the Magni 3 plus, and the Modi 3 plus. These are the first headphone DAC/Amp I’ve ever purchased, and I must say it sounds good a lot better than just my phone. I am a little disappointed though. The Magni has a stcky volume knob and rubs on the case maybe. It sounds really good nonetheless. I’m a bit confused with the DAC also. When I plug in the micro USB to my phone I have to restart it to turn on the DAC. Also, I can use my phone to adjust the volume level, not sure I’m supposed to be able to do that. Like is one gain and the other volume? I’m brand new to this and could use any pointers I can get. Thanks in advance! I hope I made this post correctly. First time.
