Founded on Affordable Excellence
Jason Stoddard and Mike Moffat founded Schiit Audio in 2010 with an explicit mission: design and build high-quality audio components in the United States at prices that don't require audiophile income. Moffat had spent decades at Theta Digital designing high-end DACs; Stoddard had a background in marketing and production. The combination produced a company that combined genuine engineering depth with a direct-to-consumer model that eliminated retail markup.
The company name — chosen deliberately for its phonetic double meaning — signals the brand's character: technically serious but irreverent about audiophile pretension. Schiit's product names (Magni, Modi, Bifrost, Gungnir) continue the Norse mythology theme while product descriptions lead with measured specifications rather than vague audiophile language.
Manufactured in California and Texas
Schiit products are designed at their Newhall, California headquarters, with chassis manufactured in California, PCBs produced in Nevada, and final assembly completed at the Corpus Christi, Texas facility. In 2022, Schiit expanded manufacturing to Texas, adding more than 20,000 square feet of production space in two Corpus Christi facilities. The Texas expansion increased production capacity while maintaining the domestic manufacturing commitment that defines the brand.
The Magni headphone amplifier and Modi DAC are Schiit's gateway products — desktop components designed to connect a computer or phone to quality headphones. The Magni provides the power that headphones need to perform at their best; the Modi converts digital audio files to analog signals. Together they form a desktop listening system that outperforms integrated computer audio at a fraction of the cost of separates from traditional audio brands.
Engineering Transparency
Schiit publishes measured specifications for their products — THD, noise floor, crosstalk, output impedance — rather than relying on listening impressions and subjective claims. This approach reflects the company's engineering culture and gives buyers concrete performance benchmarks rather than marketing language.
The Magni Heretic achieved a 120dB SINAD (Signal-to-Noise and Distortion) measurement — a figure that places it at the top of its class by objective measurement standards. For buyers who evaluate audio components by measured performance, Schiit's transparency is unusual in a market where many competitors decline to publish or discuss their own numbers. The combination of measured performance, domestic manufacturing, and accessible pricing has built Schiit a following that extends well beyond the traditional audiophile market.
