My Modi 2 only lets me set it to 16bit, rarely it does let me set it to 24bit on standard mode, there are no other options available in either Standard or Expert mode. Is there something wrong with my modi2? I've tried all the trouble shooting and tried it on a couple of different computers but it still won't give me another option besides 16bit. I'm running windows 10 and the modi2 is the only DAC I have connected to my computer.

Did you get the Windows drivers from Schiit?

Yes

I would love to see a black finish on Magni and Modi, just like the one on the Asgard 2.
Imo, they could look even better in black.

I need to get a DAC that has USB, coaxial and optical.
What is the general consensus on SMSL Sanskrit (6th Gen) vs Modi 2 Uber?
The Sanskrit is $105 shipped vs. The Modi2U which is $150 + shipping. Is it worth the extra $45 + shipping?
Has anybody here heard both?
Thanks

I did, not much came up

Well I did and there is one person who directly gave his impressions of both units.

Hello. Just borrowed a Modi 2 Uber from a friend. I keep having probems with the DAC disconnecting from my computer after half and hour to an hour of use. The only solution is to try a different USB port, and sometims, but not always, it connects right away again.
 
 Here's what i've tried so far:
 

1. Reinstalled Schiit drivers
2. Reinstalled USB drivers
3. Bought a new USB 2.0 certified cable
4. Changing from USB 2.0 to 3.0 ports (weird 'clicking' noise problems with the 3.0 port)
5. Power scheme for USB ports set to always on for all USB hubs and ports.

 
The problem still persists, unchanged.
 
Any suggestions?

Link?

This is probably not advisable, but can a USB turntable be hooked up to the USB port on the Modi2 Uber?  Just wondering if it could be done.

How 's the Magni 2 with the k701? Can I use the fiio e10 as dac (I'm gonna get the modi 2 eventually in the future) connected through the line out?
And sorry for the newbie question, but which cable should I use to connect the dac line out to the Magni 2?

@Nachash
 
You'll need a cable like this; https://www.amazon.co.uk/3-5mm-Jack-Phono-Stereo-Audio-Cable/dp/B000Q6LSVS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1465665133&sr=8-2&keywords=3.5mm+to+rca. Im running a similar setup with my uDac-3 and Magni 2 (also getting the Modi in the future).

 

[Nachash]

Thanks. This one, right?

Now I just need to choose between the O2 and the magni 2...

 

[MarcusHe]

Yup, that one should work. I'm very happy with my Magni, drives all my headphones easily, never experienced any distortion or unpleasant noises from it. Good luck choosing!
