Headphoneus Supremus
I've always thought that listening to the Modi 3+ and Modius is like sitting several rows from the stage and the Modi multibit put me on the stage. This is the presentation that the 3E gives me.
Damn that sounds promising!I really like the 3E. It works well in my modest headphone system. The Modi multibit has been a favorite of mine for a long time but the 3E has a sound signature that's a lot like the Modi multibit to my ears.
I've really liked Modi Multibit's sound signature except I find there was a few issues. With USB (I think it has older gen USB) it's very intimate and the vocal is very upfront which I really really like. But on the other hand with the older USB I find it lacks the soundstage / layering vs if you use a digital converter and hook it up through coax, though at point it gains soundstage and layering but vocal become too far for my taste.
So when I read about what you said about sounds "on the stage" I really like that. I just hope with Unison USB on the Modi 3E hopefully it's able to keep the upfront vocal of Modi Multibit and has the soundstage and layering you get through Multibit coax.
A little background story, I started with Dragonfly Red and REALLY like the sound signature and has struggle to find any unit that sounds the same, the closest I've come across to Dragonfly Red sound signature is through Vali 2+ with Telefunken Black Diamond tube with Modi Multibit. But at the time I thought Dragonfly Red is "close enough" and uses way less space on my desk and instant on and doesn't heat up, as oppose to Vali 2+ which is a tube that needs warm up time and Modi Multibit which R2R and need to be on all the time and also heat up. So I essentially have 2 heaters on my desk. Dragonfly Red is always cool to the touch when I leave it on all day.
I have since then sold Vali 2+ and Modi Multibit and went back to Dragonfly Red.
But it's been some time and maybe it's time to try again......????? LOL.
This sounds really convincing though haha.Since the 3E showed I haven't used my Modi multibit.
Now I need to decide if I should give Modi 3E a try or wait till they release Unison USB Modi Multibit. I think you said December? Is it confirmed?
