- The new Mesh DAC offers the same digital filter as the firm’s flagships
- More than enough power for almost any headset.
- $199, or $209 if you want the silver
Schitt Audio has released an updated version of its Magni Unity headphone amplifier, using the company’s new Mesh DAC card to offer what it calls “a complete single-box amplifier/DAC solution.”
The extremely small modular system is designed to deliver similar performance to the company’s flagship DACs for much less money: the Magni Unity with Mesh DAC is priced at $199 in black, or $209 if you want it in silver. International availability and pricing have yet to be confirmed.
Magni Unity is still available without a DAC for the same price as before, $119 / $129.
Schitt Audio Magni Unity with Mesh DAC: Key Features
Magni Unity delivers 2.5W of power into 32 ohms and has three gain settings to cover most headphone types. It has an extremely low noise level: Schitt says the noise is inaudible “in all headphones and IEMs.”
If you go for the Mesh DAC version of Magni Unity, it features the same “mega combo burrito” digital filter as Schitt’s more expensive DACs, allowing you to have a high-end desktop DAC and amp setup without the separate units it usually involves, so it fits in a very small space: 5 inches by 3.5 inches.
Schitt is quite irreverent with his product descriptions, stating that the Unity’s distortion is “immeasurable at normal listening levels; 1,000 times lower than the typical headphones you’re using” and noting that while the amp runs “moderately warm” with a DAC card, “it’s okay, we’ve made much hotter stuff that lasts well beyond the warranty.”
More information about the Mesh DAC is available on the Schitt website.
