| Low Cost DACs Currently mu Modi3 is direct RCA connected to PrimaLuna Integrate. It's sounds okay but I'm wondering is a different Lap Top to Modi3 cable might help. using the stock cable. . | |
| Low Cost DACs So I don't know about the weights although I agree that the unit should sit firm on the table, but it does appear to "break in" after about 50+ hours. Sounds less "brittle' and a bit fuller. I think maybe at some point I'll play with cables as the... | |
| Low Cost DACs Now that's interesting turnbowm. I'll gives that a shot and post my thoughts!Thanks. | |
| Low Cost DACs I’m sure you can find something you like at the $99 level. I'm sure you're right, "213runnin," that there might be another DAC in that price range more to my liking.This, right now seems a bit "tinny." It may break in some and different cables m... | |
| Low Cost DACs I've got to do something different with this laptop. This old HP Win7 just ain't cutting it. Keeps freezing when HD gets hot. I reformatted it the other day but Hard Drive is toast. | |
| Low Cost DACs Amp is PrimaLuna Prologue, Speakers are Wharfedale Linton (new version). I sold a pair of Tekton Design Lore floor standers to purchase the Lintons. Much better sound stage and sound okay for the money. | |
| Low Cost DACs Will keep in mind the hours on the unit.I had Marrow Ma 2 Speaker & Interconnect cables. I didn't really care for them even after 200 - 300 hours of use. Of course I wasn't using them with the Modi 3 DAC.Interconnects now are Signal Cable Copper. | |
| Low Cost DACs Hi 213runnin,Yes I agree that the Modi does benefit from breaking in. It does sound better than when new. However, I do find it a bit "bright" still after about 10-15 hours. Perhaps this will be reduced by some more time playing. Hope so! Currentl... | |
| Low Cost DACs ghulamr, Thanks for the post. Yes, sometime we complicate things more than necessary. Not sure why I hadn't thought of that!??! Guess I wanted to play with something new!As for cables; yes I've ordered a Tos Link cable to attach Schiit to back of ... | |
| Low Cost DACs Tempting but a ship date of mid February. Wonder why. | |
| Low Cost DACs That's interesting. What are you playing it through? Amp wise? | |
| Low Cost DACs So let me ask you all this: I have the opportunity to purchase a 2019 Catalina Mac Book Pro 8th Gen i5 Lap Top at a good price. Do you think this would help overall sound quality or, as it's still going through the Modi3 DAC, it won't make much di... | |
| Low Cost DACs Thanks Rego.I did all of what you suggested and Schiit was visible in Devise Manager 'cept there was a yellow exclamation point shown with Modi 3. So this told me it sees the Modi but there's a driver missing! At any rate, the thing would not play... | |
