Description

The Modi twins are two tiny DACs that really deliver. Whether you want better sound from your computer, TV, streamer, tablet, CD player, or many other sources, Modi 3E delivers. Or, choose Modi Multibit—the most affordable member of the Schiit Multibit DAC family.

Modi 3E: All The DAC You Need
Plug Modi 3E into any virtually any computer or streamer and you’re ready to go, complete with the best USB interface available: Schiit’s own Unison USB™. Or, choose an optical or coaxial digital source with the included wall power supply. Or connect to your phones and tablets that need a low-power-draw device, again using the wall power supply. Modi 3E accepts pretty much any input you can throw at it!

Modi Multibit: The Most Affordable True Multibit™ DAC (orders suspended until back in stock, estimated December 2022)
Modi Multibit is the most affordable multibit DAC with a modern architecture—from any manufacturer, from any country in the world. Featuring Schiit’s unique digital filter, and using the Analog Devices AD5547 multibit DAC, Modi Multibit smashes the high-price barrier in multibit DACs. Like Modi 3E, Modi Multibit accepts USB, optical, and coaxial digital inputs.

Need Volume Control? No Problem.
If you’re using headphones, just add a Magni for adjustable volume via its preamp outputs. No headphones? Just add a SYS Passive Preamp for analog volume control.

Designed and Built in California and Texas
By “designed and built in California and Texas” this is what we mean: we manufacture in Valencia, CA and Corpus Christi, Texas, and the vast majority of the total production cost of Modi 3E and Modi Multibit—chassis, boards, transformers, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US.

2-Year Warranty and 14-Day Returns
Modi is covered by a limited warranty that covers parts and labor for two years. And, if you don’t like your Modi, you can still send it back for a refund within 14 days of receiving your DAC.
