You could always use a Schiit Pyst cable to connect your Modi/Magni.
Thinking about Modi 3 as maybe an upgrade from my Fiio X3ii. 2 cable questions:
RCA - Going from Modi 3 to Magni 3, I need a very short RCA to RCA, right? Shortest I can find is 1.5 feet...anyone have a better suggestion?

Fiio X3ii to Modi 3 - Is this the best solution?

I'm floored by how good this is coming from Mimby. It's actually replacing my Mimby on the desktop. Cleaner in every regard. Not slightly either. $99 miracle.
edit: mids are recessed a bit. There's more low end than mimby.
edit 2: hmmm. maybe it's just badly mastered stuff mids sound recessed on. random access memories sounds fantastic. follow up: the new juno reactor stuff sounds fantastic too. It's just badly mastered stuff that sounds recessed.
Make sure that whoever you buy from, Modi 3 in my case, has a good returns policy. My optical port crumpled as I inserted the optical cable in for the first time. Now, some can accuse me of being rough, but I used optical ports for years, I still have my Apple TV 3rd gen, and it’s nearly 4 years old, and I’ve constantly unplugged and plugged that optical cable plenty of times. No breakages there. Neither the Australian retailer or Schiit was willing to help me out. So, I’m done with Schiit and that retailer.
Sorry you are having a rough go of it, Schiit has a 2 year warranty on it, and if you buy from them, a 15 day return window. I have used the warranty before and they took care of me. I will say I feel the 15 day return window is just OK be and could be better. 30,45,60 would be better imo. They should at least help out with warranty repair, unless there are details you haven't mentioned.
Kind of OT, but I see Modi 2 Uber listed in their closeout deals for the exact same price as the Modi 3. Why would someone purchase a Modi 2 Uber for the same price as a brand new revision Modi 3 which has the same additional inputs as the Uber now? What am I missing?
