## Description

Ten years ago, we introduced the first Magni. Since then, we’ve been refining and improving the line, to the point where Magni is now the only affordable, no-excuses headphone amp and preamp. It’s literally the only headphone amp you’ll ever need.No Excuses—Across the BoardNo excuses. Not in design, with op-amp design on the table. Not in parts, from its high-spec, sorted potentiometer to high-end thin-film resistors and silicon capacitors. Not in looks, with an all-new steel chassis using advanced stamping techniques. Not in safety, with new protection systems help protect your best headphones. And not even in manufacturing, with USA suppliers and Corpus Christi, Texas production.Insane Measured PerformanceMagni Heretic is the only affordable headphone amp that offers great measurements from a unique op-amp topology that includes no overall feedback and a massively paralleled feedforward output stage.Total Confidence for All HeadphonesThree gain levels, including negative gain, span all of your headphone needs. Use power-hungry planars…or super-sensitive IEMs. We’ve also incorporated a decade of learning in protection systems. Don’t worry about plugging your favorite headphones into Magni—included overcurrent and DC protection help ensure they’re totally safe.Create a Complete Desktop SystemMagni Heretic includes preamp outputs so you can connect any Magni to your desktop powered monitors for a complete system—or even connect it to a speaker power amp and use it as a preamp.

Review: Exceeded expectations, very useful features as pre-amp. - Excellent pre-amp with 50 kΩ input impedance (like all Schiit audio gears). Clean sound. Output gain selector - perfect. Very reasonably priced.
Review: Fantastic Amp! - The front gain controls are a nice touch, with a -10 dB option perfect for sensitive IEMs. Just skip TRRS plugs with built-in mics unless you use an adapter. Setup is straightforward, though I wish the power switch were on the front and that there was a visible indicator light. If you’re stacking gear, it makes it impossible to see. The volume knob works fine but it could feel more refined. On the plus side, the red-on-black design is striking. Sound-wise, the Heretic is pure Schiit: plenty of headroom, clean detail, wide soundstage, and absolutely no noise. At the price, it’s an easy recommendation! It’s powerful, great-sounding, and free of any real compromises.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Amp!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome and MADE IN USA!
*by W***N on December 18, 2025*

This is an excellent headphone amp that paired easily with my Fosi GR40 preamp! My Hifiman HE400SE sounds better than ever! No noise, improvement in soundstage, instrument placing and details compared to my old Douk Audio U10. For $69 in offer, it is an excellent buy (and would be a good buy at $99!). Another plus is that it is made in the USA and by buying this Schiit you help local industries. This amp added joy to my life.
