Schiit Audio Magnius Headphone Amp, Lokius Equalizer and Modius DAC Headphone Amplifier (with DAC) Happy to split if I find buyers for all three. I bought this as an impulse buy and have found I am listening to mainly records so not using this setup at all (I have a seperate amp for the vinyl side of things). I set it up and tested it and that's about it, been sitting there for about 4 months predominantly unused. It does sound good. I'm tempted to hold onto the Equaliser but if I can get an offer for all 3 I'll let it go. Comes with decent quality balanced Odin Gold audio cables to all th
This A$945 asking price for the Schiit Audio MAGNIUS is drastically ambitious, sitting more than four times the median used market value of A$214 and far above the 75th percentile of A$248. Even accounting for the original US retail price of roughly A$280–A$300, this listing is grossly overpriced compared to the 8 recent comparable AUD listings in your database. You should not consider this a buying opportunity; it is a clear mismatch with the established used market for this model.
The MAGNIUS itself is a well-regarded, high-power balanced amplifier praised for delivering 5000mW at 32 ohms and serving as a versatile preamp, making it a solid choice for demanding headphones. However, its genuine value lies in the A$200–A$250 range on the used market. At nearly A$950, this listing offers no meaningful upside in rarity, condition, or accessories to justify the cost. A fellow enthusiast would be better served by waiting for a listing that aligns with the A$202–A$248 percentile range.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Schiit Audio: Brand Overview
Schiit Audio is an American audio company founded in June 2010 by Jason Stoddard and Mike Moffat, two veteran engineers with deep roots in the high-fidelity industry. Based in California with manufacturing operations in Texas, the company emerged from a shared vision between its founders—who had reconnected after years in separate audio ventures—to democratize desktop hi-fi. The name itself, deliberately provocative, reflects Stoddard's irreverent approach to a traditionally buttoned-up market, born from his wife's exasperated suggestion during late-night garage sessions.
The company specializes in personal audio components, with a product portfolio spanning digital-to-analog converters (DACs), headphone amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated amplifier-DAC combinations. Schiit's first product, the Asgard headphone amplifier, launched in 2010, followed by the Bifrost DAC in 2011. The lineup ranges from entry-level pieces starting around $99 to premium offerings exceeding $2,000, with the company positioning itself as a leader in direct-to-consumer audio sales.
Schiit occupies a distinctive position as an accessible yet credible player in the audiophile market. Rather than pursuing ultra-premium positioning, the company has built its reputation on delivering genuine sonic performance at consumer-friendly prices—a philosophy its founders describe as trying to "out-cheap" each other. This strategy has resonated strongly; the company has grown substantially since inception, operating from a dedicated 15,000-square-foot facility and maintaining a reputation for transparency, quality engineering, and genuine engagement with the audio enthusiast community.
