![]() Magni 3 did put a fair fight but in the end sounded more congested and less resolving through several different songs. Note echoes and reverbs could be heard more easily, while the upper register offered more space and airiness. Transparency clearly improved using Playmate. Wanting to check that I switched to the internal Playmate’s headphone amp and it showed me that Magni 3 is not a match for it. It seemed that Burson’s DAC is an overkill in this situation. There was a slight increase in clarity and precision compared to Lusya Fever+Magni combo, but again not as much as I expected. I fed Magni 3 with a line-out signal from Playmate and switched through several songs. Using Burson Playmate‘s great DAC section seemed like a good way to do that. It was time to test Magni’s full potential. Switching back to any of the USB DACs felt like a clear downgrade in terms of overall drive and clarity. Microdynamics increased and everything started sounding a bit livelier and more rhythmic. Bassline started to have more authority and focus. Adding Magni 3 into the loop made a distinct positive difference. There is enough volume for sure, but the sound is not as alive and dynamic as you would expect it to be. Neither DF Black nor Lusya Fever can drive HE-4XX exceptionally well. This time around, Magni 3 proved clearly superior to a direct DAC connection. Then I switched to my HiFiMAN HE-4XX planars and tried again. A tiny bit of detail here and there, but nothing really worth mentioning. ![]() Adding Magni 3 as a separate amp didn’t improve sound as much as I hoped. Well, integrated amps of both sticks proved to be quite enough for my Takstar Pro 82. My first usage scenario was to test if adding Magni 3 can improve the sound quality of small USB DACs such as Dragonfly Black and Lusya Fever. I’ve tried pairing Schiit Magni 3 with several different DACs and Headphones.

Æsir genealogy in Norse mythology Names in Bold are Æsir/Ásynjur Names in Italics are Vanir Rindr was a human princess Móði and Magni are the sons of Thor, and the brothers to Þrúðr. John Lindow draws a parallel between Magni and Odin's son Váli for they both have a giantess mother ( Rindr for Váli) and achieve a feat at a very young age (Váli is only one day old when he kills Höðr, thus avenging Baldr's death). Skáldskaparmál (17), Brodeur's translation Then Magni came up, son of Thor and Járnsaxa: he was then three nights old he cast the foot of Hrungnir off Thor, and spake: 'See how ill it is, father, that I came so late: I had struck this giant dead with my fist, methinks, if I had met with him.' Thor arose and welcomed his son, saying that he should surely become great 'And I will give thee, he said, the horse Gold-Mane, which Hrungnir possessed.' Then Óðinn spake and said that Thor did wrong to give the good horse to the son of a giantess, and not to his father. Straightway all the Æsir came up, when they, learned that Thor was fallen, and would have lifted the foot from off him, and could do nothing. Thereupon Thjálfi went over to Thor and would have lifted Hrungnir's foot off him, but could not find sufficient strength. Thjálfi struck at Mökkurkálfi, and he fell with little glory. Vafthruthnismol (51), Bellows' translationĪpart from his role after Ragnarök, there is nothing we know about Móði but, in the Prose Edda book Skáldskaparmál, Magni plays a role in the myth of Thor's battle with the giant Hrungnir:īut the hammer Mjölnir struck Hrungnir in the middle of the head, and smashed his skull into small crumbs, and he fell forward upon Thor, so that his foot lay over Thor's neck. Modi and Magni shall Mjollnir have When Vingnir falls in fight. Vafþrúðnismál (51), Guðni Jónsson's edition Móði ok Magni skulu Mjöllni hafa Vingnis at vígþroti. The two brothers are mentioned among the survivors of Ragnarök in the Poetic Edda Vafþrúðnismál:
