Schiit Magni Unity Fully Discrete Headphone Amp and Preamp - Silver

Easily my favorite brand on the Market for Amps. Plug and Play setup no extra software. Works Excellent whether you are Gaming, listening to music, watching shows or doing video calls. This pushes my Behyrdynamic 250 OHM headphones with ease. Priced well for the quality. the small simplistic build makes it easy to mount under a desk or tucked into a small corner.

I have to imagine that a Schiit Magni is everything one could ever want, in an external amplifier that allows you to use top of the line headphones to listen to audio playing on a laptop. Great sound, plenty of power, and it's extremely well-constructed. I am proud to own one, and will recommend this to everyone I meet who has found themselves in a similar situation. -Mike

Fairly easy to set up, works amazingly well, does get warm when in use but ive been told this is normal by other owners. The mechanical feel of the switches is a chef's kiss when using this product. Love my Schitt box!

I'm not an audiophile, just someone that wanted some decent sound for music, games, and television, through headphones in an apartment setting. I originally started with some Sony XM4's. They sound decent, but give me a headache after an hour or two of wear and were uncomfortable. I use them for video conferencing now. Wireless noise cancelling is nice for that.After some time just using the TV speakers with the volume low, I tried Sennheiser HD 650 headphones plugged into the headphone jack on my motherboard with the Realtek® ALC4080. I was unimpressed, but it was better than the TV. I could at least turn the volume up, but the sound wasn't very full, and max volume didn't seem very loud. Not what reviews of the headphones had suggested.After some research it turns out the ALC4080 outputs around 14 mW at 300 ohms, which didn't seem like much. The HD 650's max out at 500 mW at 300 ohms. I purchased the Schiit Magni Unity with integrated DAC as an (relativly) inexpensive but highly recommended entry level headphone amp. According to their website they output about 415 mW at 300 ohms. I'm not sure I needed the DAC, but the DAC/Headphone amp allowed me to use USB-C to my computer.The Schiit Magni Unity has brought the HD 650's to life. Music is so clear, deep, and rich. Games are so detailed. Movies have a new level of depth. There is plenty of power for volume. I don't need anything else.

Works great

After watching bad advice on Youtube, I had been powering my DT 1990 Pro 250 ohm headphones from my interface headphone output (amplified) into another cheap headphone amp. I knew something was always off with the audio and started researching headphone amps. This one had the perfect amount of power, looks awesome and I was glad to see they had a cheaper / non-dac version as I only wanted to run a line level signal from my interface into it. I do wish this amp used TRS or TS 1/4 cables instead of RCA but I was able to find conversion cables on Amazon. I found the highest gain setting on these between 1/4 to 1/2 volume is PERFECT for driving these. Did some A/B testing and it makes such a difference. Everything is much more clear, punchy and crisp sounding now. Really happy with the sound and build quality.

As someone who researched for months on what to get, this is by far the best affordable, and durable option. I've owned it for months now and its on every time my PC is. (Huge gamer) I use it daily and it always works.

Connected it to my daughter's Windows 10 machine.It connects painlessly and it sounds quite good. Plays 24/96 and more...
