[QUOTE="user 997, post: 752160, member: 997"] Honestly I think you have to upgrade to the Schiit Gungnir multibit to really see a noticeable gain from where you currently are. Both the Chord and Modi MB are very good entry level products so you will have to jump up a bit to get a decent improvement and dare I say, if you are not using speakers the upgrade might be a bit of a waste as a lot of the added benefits in more expensive DACs are technicalities such as staging and imaging which aren't headphone strong suits. The R10-20k price range have a bunch of very average sounding DACs for the money imo. The Rega DAC is very nice, the DAC-R has an improved USB interface, and it's one of the better mid level DACs that I've heard, but it's definitely outclassed by going a class higher. Stick with one of the two that you've got and save up for something really worthwhile. [/QUOTE]
