Difference between Schiit Modi Versions
The Schiit Modi 2 and Uber what what I understand use a Delta Sigma (single bit, Bitstream) type dac. The Modi Multibit as the name implies uses a Multibit dac. If your playing only PCM (CD, Redbook, or PCM downloads) then the more expensive Multibit option will give the best sounding conversion of it. From MoJo Music: Cheers George |
Thank You, georgelofi. That is the information I needed. I am not well versed with the nuances of digital reproduction- I just want the darned thing to reproduced sound. I will be using the DAC to play music from my PC, so I can utilize either a USB connection or a SPDIF. I guess getting the Multibit is the way to go. As I said, my Bifrost Multibit is unbelievable. |
Thanks docknow, I agree, the Bifrost Multibit is unbelievable. I have been using mine daily since I bought it. In fact, I don't even play my CD's anymore. I would get another, but this is just for my office and I wanted to save a few bucks. Is there anyone here who can explain what is the difference between the three versions or know where I can read up on it? |
There's only two different dacs, the base Bitfrost which is Delta Sigma based Wolfson conversion. Or the more expensive the Bitfrost Multibit, which as the name implies is Multibit Analog Devices conversion. There is Bitfrost upgrade cards to old Bitfrost models. Cheapest again the Delta Sigma 4490 card $100. The more expensive Multibit AD5547 card at $250 http://schiit.com/products/bifrost Cheers George |
