I remember reading something about Schiit AMP’s frying headphone drivers in certain cases. Should I continue using the Magni H with my Sundara?

Thanks ☺️

What about my question, though?

Magni Heresy? You're actually not fine, only the new Magni + and Magni Heretic have built-in DC protection, the originals were directly DC coupled and an 'accident' is not entirely impossible (although very unlucky).

The extra little circuit might explain the price rise over $99..

Thank you for informing me. Thank fuck I stopped using it once I heard those rumours. Q5K balanced is more than enough for the Sundaras.

Oh yeah a dongle like that outputting balanced can already power a fuckton of headphones :)

Thanks for the explanation, I should’ve checked before telling it was fine. Sorry

Qc issues primarily but if it ever happened to you they are gonna refund/replace the amp and whatever cans it fried.

He isnt though. I recently swapped out my Magni Heresy for the same reason.
