In the Asgard Schitt amp discussion, the subject of DAC options came up where references to the Modi Multibit at $250 versus the Modius $200 was mentioned. References to the sound differences left me with questions about what would be better for me. I listen to classical, jazz, country, light rock primarily and like a crisp full sound. A flat or techno flavor to the sound is not something I particularly enjoy.
While this topic is really Schitt centered, I am open to other independent DAC (no integrated options like an Asgard with a card) options in the same general price range.
TIA,
Sid
From the Asgard thread:
...
I have HiFiMan HE-560 V4 Premium Planar Magnetic Headphones I want to drive in addition to some other single-ended options that I think will benefit from the Asgard. The question on the DAC is a bit ambiguous at a $200 price-point but, the Modius seems to be well rated compared to some others I looked at.
I have considered a Magnius/Modius combo as well but, the Asgard seems to be the better option. I am receptive to other options as well since I haven't committed to an amp/DAC yet.
