There are several good reviews of the Modius and the Modi3+. From what I have read, the Modius and the Modi3+ sound similar. The biggest difference seems to be the balanced output the Modius has. I don't need the balanced output, so I"m still leaning towards the Modi3+.
My Schiit Modi 2 DAC died on Christmas day. I have used it for several years, and have been pleased with it. I think it would be hard to find a better DAC for what I paid for the Modi ($99). But now I'm in the market for a replacement. I'm looking at the Schiit Modi Multbit ($250). I'm interested in thoughts, comments, and recommendations regarding that or other DACs. I want to keep the cost below $300.
I"m not sure how I missed this thread. I love vintage receivers. My primary system is a Pioneer SX-1250 powering my 1989 La Scalas and I have a Pioneer SX-850 powering vintage Heresys. I also have a Pioneer SA-9500 integrated amp; I know, not a receiver, but it is a nice vintage Pioneer unit. It powers another par of Heresys and sometimes a pair of KG4s. I like the vintage Sansui and Marantz stuff too, I just don't currently own any of them.
All of my vintage Pioneer units have been completely restored. The restoration work is beyond my skills/abilities, so I take them to Paul Hovenga of Many Moons Audio: http://manymoonsaudio.com/
Paul does great work!
Pick a weekend,and we'll make it happen. Although, fair warning, we are getting ready to start some projects; Windows, siding, deck, and a new septic system.
They are at my cabin. It's only 1100 sq. ft., so there's not much room. But, don't worry, I take them out on the deck and let them breathe every once in a while!.
