How funny, it wasn't there last night or this morning first thing Eastern Time.
Received my Schiit Modi 3 yesterday....
... I have a Mac C-41 pre a A21+ and AA 10T’s.
I’ve always had a odd high end issue with this system I could’nt find. I even sent the tweet’s from the 10t’s back to Mr. Kelly. All turned out to be on point.
I signed up with Qobuz to stream but could only come out of the IMac’s headphone jack...
enter the 99$ Modi 3 yesterday... POOF, all the issues I had with this system are gone! Optical from cd and usb from iMac.
This little 99$ gem is sweet and has really made me happy. I am saving for a “better” dac but I am skeptical to be honest.
It is small and fits into my system without being seen... except for the LED in the front, wow it’s bright.
Bottom line is I am very happy with the Modi 3 and it was as inexpensive as I can find and is a quality piece...
Enjoy your day, I will be upstairs enjoying my “new” system!

Ran across this Modi 3 review (revisited) that was quite interesting. (164) Schiit Modi 3 Revisited (2 months later) - YouTube In the second part of the review, he talks about the sound quality improvement that resulted from placing small weights on top of the Modi 3 case. I didn't have those particular weights on hand so instead I placed a book on top of the case and was taken back by the sound improvements. In particular, the upper midrange and highs were cleaner and more focused. It makes for a no-cost experiment and you might be surprised (and pleased) by the result. No reason to think it wouldn't work for other light-weight DACs as well. |
