Hi
I'm in the middle of deciding on the gear I want to buy. I'm leaning towards combo of Schiit Modi 3+ and Magni Heresy to drive Dekoni Blue by Fosex. But just before going with the order I started to thinking (and reading) about DACs. Currently I have Asus Xonar DX and I wonder: Will Schiit Modi 3+ make anything better for the sound? Or is it just waste of money that could be used to get better amp (like Schiit's Asgard 3 or Magnius)?
There's a one unusual benefit for replacing Xonar though - it sits in PCIe slot that could be freed up. It's not a huge thing but still it is to some degree.
