Schiit Magnius Balanced Headphone Amp Review

[solderdude]

i have some problems in keeping the THD very low (that is my obsession actually) I like that rare feeling of having a direct connection from the source to the speakers with nothing in between
Therefore a circuit with extremely low THD+noise is mandatory

What would be highly educational for your own understanding is do listening tests with various amounts and types of distortion.
The program 'distort' is highly educational.

It will teach you that better than 0.01% is not something anyone needs and might cure your obsession that low distortion is mandatory.

Thanks again sincerely as i am quite uneducated what 0.01% means in dB ? -100dB compared to the test signal level ?

0.01% = -80dB

An overwhelmingly useful website!

Can you suggest an approach to using it as a useful linear learning resource?

Hi ! thank you very much
My guess is that this kind of performance is easily achieved by almost any solid state line preamp circuit
i am not much on phono and tube preamps by the way
For those this performance could be a challenge ?
