I can bring in one of these for <R1'500. Specs as per their website:
Modi is the most advanced DAC under $100 that is made in the USA. Available with either USB input for use with computer sources, or optical input for use with Apple TV, Airport Express, computer optical output, CD/DVD players, and many other sources, Modi is a great way to get better sound from virtually any source.
Modi USB: For Virtually Any Computer
Modi USB plugs into virtually any computer?Windows, Mac, popular Linux distros, Intel Chromebooks, as well as iPhones and iPads?and requires no drivers. It features asynchronous transfer with individual crystal oscillators for the 44.1 and 48k sampling rates, and uses the USB Audio 1.0 standard over USB 2.0, and is powered by the USB port.
Modi Optical: For Airport Express, TVs, Gamers, CD Players, and Beyond
Modi Optical plugs into any optical source?from computer sound cards to Apple TV?and delivers great sound up to 24/192. As with all SPDIF components, it requires no drivers, and it?s powered by a small wall-wart.
24-Bit AKM4396 DAC
Modi uses the 24-bit AKM4396 DAC with switched-capacitor filtering and a high-quality active filter section with excellent line-driving capability. What this means is that it uses one of the highest-performance DAC ICs out there, and it will comfortably drive long cables.
Has anyone on the forum got one?
