What if we blew up the whole entry-level tube headphone amp idea by making a stunningly beautiful product that outperforms stuff that’s way more expensive? Well, there’s no “what if” about it. Meet Vali 3, the new standard in affordable tube gear.
Class-Crushing Tech
Go ahead and compare Vali 3 to the competition…and you’ll find there’s no comparison. With a full 100V on the plate, Vali 3 crushes other designs using only 12-48V. Tubes love voltage, and Vali 3 provides it. For output, Vali 3 uses a fully discrete, Class AB bipolar stage in our own Coherence current-feedback topology—no op-amps or chip amps like you’ll find in other products. The result is an amp that’s nothing like anything near its price.
Insanely Good Looks
At the same time, you’ll notice our new advanced form, custom-stamped chassis—made in California, by the way—that takes affordable design to new levels. Compare to other gear in off-the-shelf or open-frame chassis. Again, no comparison!
A Complete Tube System
Vali 3 is ready to tube your entire desktop—delivering plenty of power for hard-to-drive headphones, and a low noise floor for more sensitive cans. Plus, it covers all your needs with preamp outputs for your powered monitors or speaker power amp…and it stacks perfectly withour Modi DACs or Loki Mini equalizer to create a complete desktop system.
One Tube to Roll Them
We chose one tube, because, let’s face it: good tubes are getting harder to get. Vali 3 ships with a 6N3P tube standard. Stick with that for great stock sound, or find the perfect tube for your needs with tons of interesting options, including 5670, 2C51, ECC42 and CV4013. Got a big wallet? Heck, it will accept the legendary WE396A!
Designed and Built in Texas
By “designed and built in Texas," this is what we mean: the vast majority of the total production cost of Vali 3—chassis, boards, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US.

Schiit Audio is a simply fantastic company. This is a simply wonderful, great looking and great sounding tube based headphone amplifier that will drive almost anything. Its compact size makes it a great addition to a desktop or cabinet-based audio setup.

When I plug into a Schiit amplifier, I get a massive wall of sound. The tone is unlike all others. And other musicians know it. When I play, other band members always tell me "Your tone sounds like Schiit!"Yes! I reply with enthusiasm.My advice- make sure your tone sounds like Schiit.
