Sadly the hardcore measurement extremists don't have ears. You know the only thing that matters when it comes to how good something sounds.
Oh and I hope that isn't taken as a knock against the Modi 3, because that is a damn fine DAC. At $99 it's a steal, could be endgame for some not interested in chasing the last 10% of pixie dust
Same here--not knocking the Modi 3, I use one almost every day, and I think it's absolutely fine. Especially for the price.
Honestly have to agree. For me Multibit dacs eliminated the low-level fatigue I always got with delta-sigma dacs. My ears finally truly relaxed after I got a multibit dac.
Yep, I hear you, but some people want to chase measurements, and that's fine too--and you have to acknowledge that for best measurements you're looking at a delta-sigma design. Mike is absolutely adamant about True Multibit, but I'm more agnostic. My experience is that True Multibit sounds better, but if you guys like delta-sigma, that's fine too. I think measurements are important but not everything, but if you think they're all-important, that's fine too. We can all get along...there's tons of great products out there, today more than ever.
