I concur, HOLY CRAP...
And of course right after I get my hi-fi work system build for something like this they come out with these lol...
Oh well my Audio GD NFB-3 aint going nowhere and if nothing else I might get that DAC and a Vahalla tube amp for work....
I like that Schiit.
Did I mention these 2 components are made in the good, old US of A?
That Modi is the Schiit for $99! It looks like they're shooting straight at HRT with a USB-powered DAC.
I love my Schiit, wish I had a use for these...
Man that's the schiit
i may get the headphone amp to go with my Bifrost so i can have two schiits.
Steve I don't give two schiits about what you do :wink: lolQuote:

I guess people just have Schiit to say.
Its a great DAC the bifrost
I just ordered the Modi DAC. I will be comparing it directly to an HRT Music Streamer II, which I figure is the closest competitor spec-wise to the $99 Modi at $149. I'll also compare it to a MF VDAC-II, which is closer to the Bifrost's price/performance league.
I will post my impressions here.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. I nearly ordered a Modi last night.Quote:

It won't work will it? It looks to only have USB in like the HRT music streamer, and the SB only has digital optical or coax outputs right? Otherwise I would be tempted to do the same...Quote:

Wait on second thought, that may just be for input IIRC.
Yes the USB on the Squeezebox is for like a flash drive/external drive.Quote:

Just placed my order for them. Trying out some headphone audio for a bit. Will be using Sennheiser HD380's and HD 598s and possibly a pair of AKG A550
Interested in the review
I posted my initial impressions of the Modi here: http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/show...=1#post1856902
hmm, so far the sound tends to be a little on the bright side for me. Not sure if its the DAC or the amp. While its better than the DAC of my computer its not the final chapter in what I would be looking for.
I'm getting a pair of HD600's here tomorrow or Thursday and will be able to listen some more. Will also try out the tube stage on my other DAC in the main system to see the differences. So far for the price its really not bad. I do have to say I do enjoy the difference it made when listening.
