I really need to try a non delta sigma DAC see what all this fuss is about, maybe I should just jump straight to Yggdrasil no messing about...
I only use the USB portion but every time I shutdown my computer and it come back on it always stays on it. I don’t use any of the other selections though. So I assume it does.Does Modi+ remember the input selection when power cycled? For example, if USB is connected for power only, and optical is selected, will optical still be selected when the power is removed and then restored?
USB is the first one in the order, and I'd expect it to be active by default, especially if actually connected to a computer. The question is, does it remember if the other inputs were selected?I only use the USB portion but every time I shutdown my computer and it come back on it always stays on it.

Good morning, I have the new model and like I posted above I really enjoy it. It has become my main DAC now after all my others. I don't know what else to say about it. It is nice and clear and works great. If you are using it with a computer though, it does stay on all the time since it's powered by USB-C. So, a little white led will be lit. It has a very soft glow though. The quality is top notch on the build quality, built like a tank. I would recommend it.No Modi+ owners?
Thanks! I'm a long time owner of Schiit DACs and headphone amps. I've always enjoyed their multibit DACs and I thought that the Modi 3 and Modius AKM DACs were good. I had a Modi 3E that I didn't care for and the Modi+ uses the ES9018 too. I've read that there were changes with the Modi+. I appreciate your reply.Good morning, I have the new model and like I posted above I really enjoy it. It has become my main DAC now after all my others. I don't know what else to say about it.

I had the Modi 3E with ES9018 in it and didn't care for it. I hope they tweaked the 3E and came up with another great Schiit DAC in the Modi+.Hi can anyone please tell if this new modi+ is bright or sibilant enough to cause listening fatigue?
Schiit modis reached popularity because of the AKM chips, but i wonder if the ESS SABRE thing changed them very far from where they were known.
Hmm, mine has worked perfectly since i got it. Assuming you clicked accept on the first message about allowing the usb accessory to be recognized when first plugging it in, and you have it selected as sound output device in System Settings --> Sound ---> output. Are you plugged into the USB port for data or the one for just power? If you are in the Data port, you can try connecting an additional USB C cable to a wall adapter to see if the additional power turns it on.Anyone else having issues getting this to work on a Mac?
Just received this today and disappointed I'm already having issues I plug it into my MacBook Pro's USB-C port, the lights light briefly, then go out, and the unit is completely non-responsive at this point. The computer doesn't seem to be recognizing it. It worked fine this morning now can't get it to do anything.

Otherwise I got no clue, and you might have just gotten a bum unit. I'm sorry you're having trouble.
