Hi,
I'm looking to buy a DAC and I will be very happy to get some recommendations.
My budget is up to 300$ US.
Until now I have used the ASUS xonar D1 sound card as a DAC but it stopped working so I need a new DAC.
 
I would like to buy an external DAC that will receive the music via USB from a PC (Windows 7) and output to my headphones amp via RCA.
 
My headphones amp: Schiit magni 2 Uber.
My headphones: 1) Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80 Ohm, 2) Massdrop x AKG K7XX.
 
 
 
Thank you !

Why not finish your stack and go with a Modi Multibit?

 

[sashakrik]

Is it the best option for my budget ?

Used Emotiva DC-1 and never look back! Or Mimby...

You can always go cheaper and get the Modi 2 but this is a good cheap way to try out multibit.

I have read the specifications of the modi 2 uber and the modi multibit on Schiit's web site, seems that the modi 2 uber better at THD and IMD although the price of the multibit is 100$ higher.
 
What is the reason for that ?

 

[Dulalala]

They use different way of processing the signal so I would assume that is the reason. To be honest though don't worry about that as you won't hear that slight difference in THD or IMD anyways.
