As per title, I'm looking for one of these two Schiit DACS.
Kind regards.

I’m looking for the Modi 2 Uber / Modi 3 version
(I need the coaxial input).

I'm also evaluating other dacs with coaxial input (as the Arcam r-dac or Cambridge Audio Dac Magic 100).

If you can find one anywhere, get a listen to a Monarchy Audio DAC. I have two.

thank you for the suggestion, but I think it is to much expensive for me....

Topping D30 :thumbsup:
-- way better than a rDAC or DAC Magic 100.
I've not tried a Schiit DAC.

Yes.
I know a couple of others who have them and I haven't heard of any problems with them at all.
Marvellously transparent and detailed sound!

Dacs are very much a personal sound. More so than most things bar speakers.
If you hear one u like then it will probably do you for life.

Looks a decent enough review. It just says if a rubbish signal is put through, the DAC doesn't try to hide it. Surely that's how it should be?

Thank you Jerry!

No problem. :)

I was a bit baffled by your earlier comment - that is an excellent review!!

"... the Topping D30 an entry-level DAC, its performance is remarkable."

It's certainly one of the best DACs I have ever heard, at any price!

Sorry Jerry, I've just seen on eBay your Straight Wire cables for sale.
Could you please tell me a bit more about these cables?
Cheers.

Maybe a pricey for you Mauro but it is regared as the best sound per pound in the Schiit range of DACs.
Could be of interest to another AoS'er
