Yes it’s an original Modi. Agreed that repairing it, even if repairable, doesn’t make sense. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for responding. Apologies completely unnecessary. No wall wart came with the original Modi. It is plugged into a computer’s USB out (for both power and sound, on the same cable). The Modi does receive power but does not function apart from the white light being powered up. As I...

Yes the white light is on in the front, with either USB from my rpi or MacBook, which as I understand it is the only indication of it “powering up”.

Thanks for the suggestion. This is an original Modi. It is USB powered, there is no connection for a separate power supply.

Sorry to de-rail the thread with a technical issue, but thought given the vast array of expertise someone here might have a helpful suggestion. My Schitt Modi appears to have stopped functioning. It was hooked up to my RPi and working just fine before Christmas, as it has for several years. I...

An interesting chapter, with a great cliffhanger ending. Intrigued - yes I am.

Everyone's hearing is different, and for me I did a direct comparison of a cd I had ripped Vs cd playback, both through the same DAC and I didn't hear an appreciable difference. So for me the convenience of a digital library wins out. It also means that I can continue to enjoy both systems...

I have had the PM-1 come and go from the loaner program. My impressions are they sounded better than my comparable headerphones the SRH1840 and grado SR80, which comes as no surprise. My source was a MacBook pro ( J River) to Schiit modi to FIIO Alpen. I will admit I did not notice a difference...

At TAVES, OPPO had 3 different PM-3s.The colour is not relevant, but two were black and one was white. these are prototypes and not in their final configuration. Although these were single ended, they do have a 4 wire configuration in the headphone itself so balanced connections can be done in...

I listened to 3 prototypes of the PM-3 today at TAVES. They sounded very good, similar to the PM-2. Listening was done from a MacBook Air-iTunes to the OPPO headphone amp. They were comfortable for listening, although I only listened for about 1/2 hour. All 3 were good with slightly different...

I would be Interested in a loaner PM-2 if it were to be touring Canada, (and even more so a PM-3),and agree to the T&Cs.

I am quite enjoying the saga.  I have emailed Schiit on a few occasions.  I was very impressed when I got an immediate response from Jason and from Alex more recently.  I ended not buying a product based on their feedback, as it was clear it wouldn't meet my needs.  I did buy a couple of...

Orders are now being taken starting today, looking forward to some early reviews, say compared to the Bryston BHA-1 or the imminent Schiit statement amp.

Has anyone tried with the Shure 1840?

I have not seen much feedback from anyone who has recabled the 1840s to either two 3pin XLR or one 4 pin XLR.  I received a response from Shure technical saying that these are not 'balanced' headphones.   Has anyone found a significant improvement in either diy cables to XLR connections, or...
