I'm currently looking at upgrading various parts of my audio setup. I'll be getting a pair of HD600s and I've narrowed down my amp choices. Where I am struggling is with DAC selection.
I heard about the Modi multibit when it was announced, but it seems that there aren't many reviews and none from prolific/pro reviewers (if there are, I haven't found them). I thought the Modi multibit would get a lot of attention simply due to it being a multibit DAC at such a low price from a company with a good track record when it comes to affordable amps and DACs. What I did notice when searching is (what seems to me like) a lot of them up for sale. This has alarm bells ringing.
I've never bought a stand alone DAC before, so I'm not really in a position to judge how good a DAC is (compared to competing products). With that in mind, should I be looking at something in the same price bracket that has more reviews from professional/respected reviewers, or would passing up a Multibit DAC at the price it sells for be foolish?
If you were looking for a DAC in this price range, what would you go for?
