Hi head-fiers,
Please recommend me an under $300 DAC only. Optical input is required.
Thanks

Maybe check out the Modi Multibit. I like mine very much. Maybe read about it and see what you think. It could potentially work for you.

Actually Modi 2 uber / multibit is fit me but I would like to know more advice. I did return my Jotunheim with DAC because of optical input.

Don't understand your last post but I think a Mimby would be better than a Jot only for dac purposes not the amp.

I mean my last dac/amp is the Jot. Now I just need DAC with optical input to pair with my Emotiva A-100

Then get a Mimby or Bimby. They both will work and give you that Schiit multibit awesomeness

Bimby is out of my budget. I still prefer modi 2 uber to multibit. $100 more is not worth it. I just want to know something alternative to schiit's

JDS Labs EL DAC is another option.

Yeah I highly recommend the EL or OL DAC from JDS Labs both would be fine for you.
