I think it would have been awesome to be able to put this DAC in my JOT to not deal with cabling etc
How does the detail retrieval of the Modius compare to that of the Modi Multibit?I just got the new Modius DAC yesterday after only ever owning the Modi Multibit.
Modius kicks ass with the Jotunheim! It really shows what the amp is capable of IMO. I had never tried my Jot with the balanced inputs or with any DAC besides Modi Multibit and I'm glad I bought the Modius.
The detail and resolution is insane. The overall sound signature is very exciting. All kinds of energy.
So those who disagree are unhappy fools? Wow, pretty small thing to say - no wonder you care so much about measurements ...only a fool would actually not care about measurements ... I have a foot in both worlds and I am very happy with that arrangement.
Not a full quote, I did say those who don't care about measurements to one extent or another would be foolish. I also did not say they would be unhappy. I expect even somebody such as yourself who clearly has a strong opinion on the subject would care about measurements to a very small extent, hence not a fool. Hope that helps to clarify.So those who disagree are unhappy fools? Wow, pretty small thing to say - no wonder you care so much about measurements ...
Modius is a lot more resolving. I was surprised.How does the detail retrieval of the Modius compare to that of the Modi Multibit?
Interesting. I'm currently using a Modi Multibit with my Jotunheim. I was planning on upgrading to the Bifrost 2 at some point, but the Modius seems like a much more affordable alternative.Modius is a lot more resolving. I was surprised.
Absolute resolution/detail retrieval has never really been a particular strength of the Modi Multibit, or lower-priced r2r dacs in general. I guess I am surprised that you are surprised.Modius is a lot more resolving. I was surprised.
I ended up getting the Bifrost 2 on B-stock. I really like it but the Modius is a great DAC. Especially for 200 bucks.Interesting. I'm currently using a Modi Multibit with my Jotunheim.

I had read that the Modius was more resolving. I just didn’t expect it to blow away the MM in resolution and fine detail.Absolute resolution/detail retrieval has never really been a particular strength of the Modi Multibit, or lower-priced r2r dacs in general.

I'd be interested in hearing your ongoing comparo - I've got the BF2 on my list, but thought I'd spend some time with the Modius before making a decision. (I've also got a 2017 MM with a firmware update chip on the way, so I'll be testing that too)I had read that the Modius was more resolving.

Probably a side-gradeI have a grace design m903, and I'm thinking about getting the Jotunheim. I'm not sure if it's a upgrade, I don't have experence with any high end schiit.
I wonder how does the dac in the Jotunheim compare, I really like the grace dac.Probably a side-grade
