Schiit Audio is an American maker of headphone amps, DACs and hi-fi components, founded in 2010 by Jason Stoddard and Mike Moffat. It designs and builds in the USA — assembly and QC in Corpus Christi, Texas, with chassis made in California — and is known for affordable, no-frills desktop separates; its budget Magni amp and Modi DAC, often bought together as 'the Schiit stack,' are a common entry point into desktop audio.

The $499 amp that fixed everything people disliked about the Jotunheim 2 — and made its single-ended jack the new thing to argue about.

The $149 tube amp that a quarter of its owners say sounds like a Magni — and the switch on the front decides who is right.

A $499 OTL tube amp everyone likes and nobody agrees on: too clean to be tubey, or the most convincing tube sound at the price.

The ladder DAC whose own maker tells measurement-chasers to buy the cheap one instead.

Two benches measured an amp that adds nothing. Most of the people who owned it heard a tube amp.

A $219 amp almost nobody criticizes, built around one idea its maker refused to prove — so everyone else measured it instead.

A genuinely powerful, US-built discrete amp in a $199 one-box — wrapped around a DAC the measurement crowd will not forgive.

The all-metal gaming DAC/amp reviewers loved to use — and a real share of owners couldn't rely on.

The made-in-USA starter stack that wins on power, build and support — and splits the room on measurements, reliability and value.
