Just an update here. I purchased a Modi about 2 wks ago. Have to say I am very pleased with the sound it provides, especially for the price.:yes: Nice clean, detailed, warm sound. It appears to be a good match/synergy for my system! Thanks to all for your comments/input. Happy listening.

Ive been listening to the Schiitt Modi 2 Optical version for a week or two now. I like it. A very noticeable change in bass, and vocals sound more full. Without the DAC, some songs sounded harsh would literally hurt my ears. That doesn't happen anymore.
This is my first dedicated DAC and I'm happy considering what I paid. Well built and heavy. Looks and sounds good. :thmbsp:
Im streaming lossless files from my macbook using Vox to Apple TV ---> the Modi 2--->Sansui 6060--->AR2ax

This is a forum for members to review their gear, you have duplicate threads running in two different forums. Duplicate threads are against AK rules, so I have asked a Admin to merge the 2 threads into the digital forum

Sorry Jim, my bad. Didn't realize that, I will refrain from doing that. Thanks for the info.
I just got the Modi 2 Uber and am happy with it so far. I thought that having the 3 different types of digital inputs was worth the difference over the standard Modi.
You have to play with the software EQ to get the sound right. I have tried 2 different windows based laptops with a USB cable into the modi 2 uber so far. Most internet radio stations sound really good. Next test to install Linux Ubuntu OS into an old Pent4 desktop PC and then see if different PC sound cards make a difference. This may require more than one glass of whisky.

So . . . has anyone directly compared Modi 1 to the Modi 2?

Im guessing the SQ is the same from a Modi 2 and Uber version, Uber version is more versatile as far as hook-ups.

Still loving my Modi 2 Uber. I am planning to buy more gear from this company.

And THIS is also what i was wondering since I just bought the standard Modi last week and THEN found out there was a "2" model out
No wonder I got such a great price on the base model! I can still send it back and pay the extra 30 bucks for the Modi 2 upgrade if you guys think it's worth it...

I like their products, if I would have the money, I would buy their Yggdrasil DAC, based on 4 x AD5791 R-2R multibit.

I've been listening to the Modi 2 Über for a couple of weeks now, and I'm very happy with the sound. It's much improved over the DAC in the Airport Express and better than the CD players.
The bass is strong, the high end is crisp and clear. I haven't tried hooking it up to a CD player yet. I think this a great DAC to start out with.

I'm interested to hear a comparison too. I love my 1 but I'm intrigued by the 2.
Also the $400 difference going up between models really is quite a jump. I would definitely put that cash toward a speaker upgrade and make sure that part of my rig was really something.
