Here's an excerpt, it's a long chapter from Schiit Happened with a detailed discussion of the different attempts Schiit Audio made in developing the Magni:

What gives is we’re going to concentrate on the discrete Magnis…the interesting Magnis…the ones that build on what Magni always has been—an affordable, discrete headphone amp.

“Wait, you don’t think Heresy and Heretic are interesting?” you ask.

No. Here’s a primer on how to do a great-measuring IC-based amp:

  • Pick the best measuring ICs.
  • Attach to a decent power supply.
  • Update when better measuring parts are available.
And that’s it. Done.

I wish other vendors would be as much open as Schiit is. Transparency is so underrated.
