Very briefly used Schiit Modi 2 USB DAC. This unit has excellent sound quality and is a worthwhile upgrade over any computer\'s integrated sound chip.
Modi is a complete family of affordable DACs for virtually any need. Whether you want better sound from your computer, your tablet, your CD player, or many other sources, the Modi family has a model that will fit your needs.
Modi 2: Improve Any Computer’s Sound
Modi 2 plugs into virtually any computer—Windows, Mac, popular Linux distros, Intel Chromebooks, as well as iPhones and iPads. Just connect via USB and go with no drivers in Standard Mode, up to 24/96 output. Switch to Expert Mode (and install Windows drivers) for extended high-res capabilities to 24/192.
Need Volume Control? No Problem.
If you’re using headphones, just add a Magni Uber for adjustable volume via its preamp outputs. No headphones? Just add a SYS Passive Preamp for analog volume control.
Made in USA
By “made in USA,” we mean made in USA. The vast majority of the total production cost of Modi—chassis, boards, assembly, etc—goes to US companies. Our board house is 20 minutes away from our office in Newhall. Our chassis guys are just over the hill in the Valley.
