My first experience with Schiit was a Modi Uber. I plugged it in and my jaw dropped, because my previous dac (Emotiva xda-1) sucked. In fact, it was unusable with a “Pure 20(?)” iPhone dock.
Tried the exact same dock and phone with the Uber and was really impressed. So much so that I returned it in short order for a Bifrost multibit. The Bimby was my very first experience with actual holographic or 3D imaging. And Schiit service through all of this was first rate.
Bottom line, lots of brands make good sounding DACs, but I really like the idea of a company that manufactures their products in the USA. I’m getting increasingly hesitant to support Chinese companies with the way China treats the west.
I know I can’t avoid buying Chinese products but I do when I can. My motto is anywhere but China.
You will find Schiit haters around but don’t let them or me sway you. That audio science forum has a particular load of nonsense regarding Schiit DACs. Simply try them for yourself, and decide for yourself. They sound great but you might like something else better, people’s tastes should be the main factor, not some silly snake oil about measurements.
