Schiit Multibits vs Chord Mojo


Now that Schiit has three multibit DACs that are fairly reasonably priced, (Modi Multibit, Bifrost Multibit, and Gungnir Multibit), I was wondering if anyone has heard/compared any of the above DACs to the Chord Mojo. The Mojo has good reviews, but I don't listen to headphones, so I would prefer to go with a DAC that doesn't have a headphone amplifier and isn't portable.

Any sonic differences that you have heard between the multibit Schiit DACs would be appreciated.

Input to this DAC will be from an Auralic Aries Mini music player/streamer, if that makes any difference.

Thanks

No problem, that was exactly one of my questions.

When I contacted Schiit, I got the same non-answer that gdrnrbob did. I can understand them not getting into comparisons with other manufacturer's products, but to not comment on their own, makes no sense. Why buy a more expensive Schiit product if they can't even describe the differences?

Thanks for your input. I was shocked by their attitude too. Your final comment gave me the biggest laugh of the day! I even read it to my wife and she got a kick out of it.

As far as comparing their products to competitor's products, if they say it's just better, of course that is meaningless. But if they can describe audible differences that might influence one's interest in purchasing their product.

I want to thank everyone for commenting. It really did help.

Well I finally have a separate DAC. I just got the Schiit Modi Multibit DAC yesterday morning. It's the cheapest multibit they make ($250). I left it on all night, and will continue to leave it on. When I listened to it this afternoon, I noticed the improvement right away. Vocals were a little more forward and one could hear more of singer actually making the sounds. In playing Cantate Domino one could hear more of venue where it was recorded, which was in a church, and the soprano was just sounded better, more "there". The differences were obvious enough that my wife even commented on it, and she admitted that she didn't like the fact that she did notice it. She's afraid I'll upgrade something else, now.
