Review: One of the best DAC values for the money! - I've had a Schiit Modi 3+ DAC for quite some time as my sound device for my PC. When this new model came out, I purchased it for my main workstation and moved the 3+ to my work from home workstation. These DACs provide very clean digital to analog conversion without coloring the sound with the added benefit of isolating the analog output from the computer case and all the interference inherent there. Schiit builds excellent quality audio devices for extremely fair prices, and they've quickly become one of my favorite audio manufacturers. The new model Modi+ has a couple of differences from the prior Modi 3+ model, the most obvious being the new front panel button and LED indicators for input switching whereas the prior model had a toggle switch and screen-printed icons on the case. It also has their latest textured black finish. One benefit to the Modi+ is that it is USB powered and doesn't require a separate power supply unless you're using the optical or coax inputs, but they do include a USB wall wart for those cases. Another benefit is that the included DAC is very good and much better than the built in DACs in most PCs, Macs, phones, streamers, etc. so the ultimate sound output is cleaner and by my ears much better defined. No drivers are required for any of the latest operating systems and the device is recognized immediately on all of my PCs and Macs. It shows up as a sound device, selectable in the control panel. That's it, just plug and play. Hook it up to the speaker system of your choice, and you're good to go. NOTE: this is just a DAC, therefore the outputs are line level only. Whatever speakers you use it with must have their own amplification. I can heartily recommend this device without reservation! ## Features - Modi+ is the latest version. No matter how you look at it—performance, measurements, features, design, or sound—Modi+ delivers above and beyond expectations. - Plug Modi+ into any virtually any computer, streamer, CD player, phone, tablet, or TV.

I can heartily recommend this device without reservation! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for analytical listens and noticeably improves soundstage on my equipment *by B***S on March 4, 2025* TL:DR Very good DAC with a bit more emphasis on treble and analytical listening. I run this with the Mee Audio P1 Pinnacles and even threw a wired Airpod Max's at it and I noticed it greatly improves the high end and its rolloff. So things like Trance music or rock will immediately sound cleaner while still being musically enjoyable. It makes audio sound transparent and fuller while it tightens up and makes bass response more consistent across the board. The soundstage is the greatest improvement that I see even for my in ear monitors, it's almost scary. The extra information and layers it adds to your listening really shows it makes the most of out of the extra bit-depth and bit-rate out of your audio. I play music on Tidal and stream my music on Tidal's MAX setting with 24-Bits @ 192Khz. (I imagine you can max out the settings with Bluray playback.) I don't know if it's placebo but it's almost overwhelming how detailed and how much the soundstage opens up on your playbacks, I can really hear the nuances and amazing engineering that goes into producing my favorite tracks. Now it adds sounstage without messing with how forward or faraway your music sounds but the backup vocals or sounds that are in your music is improved. This is truly what immersive audio is like without adding bloatware like 3D audio encoding or whatnot and you'll see that for yourself. I would give this a shot if you wanna see what a DAC is all about. I also used this on my loudspeakers Bose S1 Pro and the Bose SUB 2 and it does the same thing and improves my playback. It really makes my bass punchier and consistent as well and I actually had to turn down the treble on the S1 pro a bit and I will definitely be using these while I add more to my setups with this DAC being the main audio source. ---------------------------------------------- I've tested a good amount of equipment throughout the years. Everything from Skullcandy, Bose, Mee Audio, Grado, and even the Sennheisers HD800. I mostly got this to replace a Fiio Alpen 2 I lost a few years ago. I always put off upgrading to a beefier DAC since the top of the line is pretty pricey. But this DAC feels like it's worth more than what it performs. I've tried other Fiio Dacs and portables but never got a desktop DAC. It does a great amount better than other DACs I've had so far and this satisfies my craving to go for the more expensive DACs that schiit or other brands like Topping have to offer. I currently broke my Mjolnir 2 Amp but this does well on its own and I'm eagerly waiting to pair Mjolnir with the Modi+. First off, I was scared at first since I tried many different configurations to listen to this device, setting up the proper bitrate and Bit depth, trying the OG cable on its own power port and using a separate cable for purely audio input but I KEPT getting static and distortion even at low volumes during long listening sessions. I thought the recordings of my audio sources were just being exposed for its analog method of recording... but I've had times where that can be the case but I even tried digitally produced music and it still came out with artifacts and distortion. And I'm fine with having to properly setup equipment to sound its best but the whole reason this was the most appealing to me was the possibility of powering the device and inputting audio with a single usb-C. I almost gave up until I tried a thick generic USB-C cable meant for outputting charging, video, and audio and it fixed my problem altogether. It looks like the cable it came with is not good enough for data transmission and is good just as a power supply. I am running the Modi+ at 24-Bits and at a 192Khz bitrate and the data transmission is now smooth even for long listening sessions. The voltage at which the modi outputs audio is more powerful than if you ran just ran straight cable from your headphones to your aux output. But yet the audio signal background noise remains silent and clean, now there will be distortion (no static) at higher volumes in this particular case due to not having a headphone amp. But I'm glad it's not happening at low to medium volumes like before. This is a great DAC if you're on the analytical/treble-leaning side of the audiophile spectrum but I bet this can be adjusted to your liking easily. ## Frequently Bought Together - Schiit Modi+ Affordable No Excuses D/A Converter - Do-All DAC (Black) - Monoprice 1.5ft Premium 2 RCA Plug/2 RCA Plug M/M 22AWG Cable - Black - WJSTN-020 RCA to RCA Audio Cable, 1RCA Male to 1RCA Male Stereo Audio Cable Converter, Digital Stereo Audio Cable for subwoofer, Home Theater, high-Fidelity Audio-Double Shielding-2 Pack (6IN) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/492747739-schiit-modi-affordable-no-excuses-d-a-converter-do-all](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/492747739-schiit-modi-affordable-no-excuses-d-a-converter-do-all) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
