- The New Mesh DAC delivers the same digital filter as the company’s flagships
- More than enough power for almost all headphones
- $199, or $209 if you want the silver one
Schitt Audio has launched an updated version of its Magni Unity headphone amplifier with the company’s new Mesh DAC card to deliver what it calls “a complete one-box amp/DAC solution”.
The extremely small, modular system is designed to deliver similar performance to the company’s flagship DACs for significantly 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 DAC at the same price as before, $119 / $129.
Schitt Audio Magni Unity with Mesh DAC: key features
The Magni Unity delivers 2.5W of power into 32 ohms and has three gain settings to cover most headphone types. It has a “vanishingly low” noise floor – Schitt says that noise cannot be heard “on all headphones and IEMs”.
If you go for the Mesh DAC version of the Magni Unity, it has the same “megacomboburrito” digital filter as Schitt’s more expensive DACs, enabling you to have a high-end matching desktop DAC and amplifier setup without the separate units it usually entails, so it fits into a very small space: 5 inches by 3.5 inches.
Schitt is rather irreverent with his product descriptions, claiming that the Unity’s distortion is “immeasurable at normal listening levels; 1000x lower than the typical headphones you use” and noting that while the amp gets “moderately warm” with a DAC card, “that’s fine, we’ve made much warmer that’s lasted longer than before.”
More information about the Mesh DAC is available on Schitt’s website.
