As of late 7/17/16 re-check, the used option for $143 at Amazon Warehouse Deals sold out… The 380 page Story of Schiit ebook continues at $5…
The 20% off Warehouse Deals coupon reset expectations of used prices, so keep that in mind since I don’t know if/when the coupon offer will return in the future. Keep in mind also that the new condition prices of Schiit products is higher at Amazon than the Schiit website, but the Schiit website charges shipping which varies by product weight and destination zipcode. It was $10 to $20 in the zipcodes I tested for this particular item, the Magni 2 Uber Headphone Amplifier. So having said all that…
… the Magni 2 Uber is available in “Used – Very Good” condition (cosmetic imperfections, damaged original packaging) for $143~ by Amazon Warehouse Deals.
Note also that as of the time of writing, the Schiit website has Beef Stock (okay, B-Stock, but I can’t resist calling it that) for $139, vs $149 for the new condition. Plus the $10 to $20 shipping. So the closer you are to California (shipping costs wise, not necessarily in terms of actual miles), the more favorable it is to buy from them versus Amazon.
NOTE: the $10 promotional credit (if you participated in the Prime Day gift card promotion) does NOT work with Warehouse Deals. It only works for new condition items sold by Amazon.com actual. Even though Warehouse Deals is Amazon, lawyeristically, Warehouse Deals is a separate seller.
PS: if you are Schiit-curious, published last summer, is a 380+ page book by the two co-founders of the company, available at a lower price of $5 in Kindle format. This is the story of the company, it is not a DIY/how-to audio-technical book.
PS2: an easy mnemonic to tell apart the Modi and the Magni. The one with an “A” in its name is an AMP (the mAgni). The one with a “D” in its name is a DAC (moDi).
