Schiit Magnius - New Balanced Headphone Amp/Pre Amp

Problem is this only $60 more than l30 and $300 less than a90.
There are certain things we avoided by using one 6120 per channel. I won't talk down on magnius. It's certainly great for what it is.
It's also not like a90 is the only offering there will be. (6120 is also not the only solution)

What I dont understand is why with the new schiit magnius, everyone is comparing it to $1000+ dollar amps, or amps at least 2/4x its price point. How is that even comparable? If you're telling me that's how high you need to go to get comparable devices, than hell yes it's worth it at only $199.

I don't get your point at all. Price is not an indicator of performance, here on ASR. We have the datas to compare, so we don't care about how much others cost. Look at the 139$ Topping L30, putting to shame many unbal amps at any price. There's 1000$ amps performing worse, and 500$ ones measuring better. And so on...
The Magnius is extremely competitive for a balanced amp at 200$. The L30 is cleaner, but only unbalanced for less money. Period.

Well. Yes. It's comparable. Prices don't indicate performance. Performance is performance.
