Schiit Modi Multibit

I'm in the process of upgrading my analog system but still like to have a (very) affordable DAC in that system in case I or a friend wants to hear something either from a CD or stream Tidal from a computer or a smart phone/tablet. Almost all my "upgrade" budget is going to the cartridge and phono preamp but I can carve out enough to buy something under $300. I have an old CDP which I'll use as transport.

While looking around, the Modi Multibit seemed like a reasonable option but I don't see much owner feedback. Looks like most folks go for the higher models like Bifrost or even higher.

Anyone owns this model and how do you like it? Or, is there another brand/model you recommend in that price range, new or used?

Thanks.

I think that cable will only give you analog out of the iDevice. You should get a Lightning to USB cable.  That should give you bits out, to go into your Modi.  Others can comment if this is correct.

Camera adapter is good, but way more expensive!!

BTW, I use one with an AQ Dragonfly, Onkyo music player app and high-rez files as my on the road music kit.  Not as good as Schiit, but not bad.  Waiting on Schiit to make a similar R2R USB DAC.
