![]() a few nights out the bar and some dumb **** on ebay and thats it so i could have gotten it if i wanted. Then again, did i spend the extra couple hundred i saved on anything meaningful? not particularly. a few nights out the bar and some dumb crap on ebay and thats it so i could have gotten it if i wanted.ĮDIT: THEY EL DAC AND MIMBY COST THE SAME, I AM FULL OF crap. ![]() and the JDS Atom+ pair is high on my target list. Since then the Schiit & SMSL SU6 pairs have joined the family All of these pairs having found extremely happy assignments I now am returning to the well in 2023 for yet another pair. im sure theres people out there where its worth it to buy el dac, but the sheer value of the schiit stack vs el stack and given the gear i have, i got the schiit stack. I was new to the mini-stack DAC/AMP combos in 2021. It should not sound like anything but the actual music that it is converting. The Schiit Modi 3 has been measured to perform extremely accurate for its price. It will be used as a pure DAC for good-quality budget speakers. also for 32bit, i decided theres not enough support for me to justify it. The iFi has more in terms of features but I probably wont be using those anyway. and if thats the case, then in everyday usage and music enjoyment, there's not a chance im going to notice at all, and i have hunch thats how it is for most people out there past a couple hundred dollars and much of discussion about dacs and whatnot is smoke and mirrors ad placebo or only applies if they're really trying hard to tell the difference instead of practical usage/enjoyment. There’s also a nifty Tru Bass option that takes care of the missing low end for HP’s like Sundaras. ![]() to be perfectly honest, am i personally going to notice the difference between 24 bit vs 32 bit or the very slight differences in jitter? no way, and from what i read on the people that can, they have to really be trying with multiple intense A/B tests to discern it. The Zen DAC, will sound more analog-ish than the AKM chipset Schiit is using. for the price of just the el dac i can almost get the entire schiit stack. i reaaallllyyy wanted a reason to get the el stack and found myself trying damn hard to rationalize the purchase (mostly because a e s t h e t i c and #DAT #KNOB #THO), but the marginal benefit was just far too little for me. And the Atom stack may be cheaper then ordering the Schiit stack from the US. You should be able to order the Topping stack from an international vendor. I like neutral with slight to warmer side sound signature but I wouldn't want it too warm and relaxed lacking details and accuracy.OP here, i actually went with the schiit stack (magni 3 and modi multibit). Topping 元0 and E30 JDS Labs Atom stack are comparable to the Schiit stack in accuracy and power output. For the 99 price point, there really are no better options that I can think of. This DAC can be super crisp and natural when paired with a variety of headphones. When it comes to their DACs, I am sure I am not gonna get them and get Schiit Modi instead. If you’re in need of any standard DAC, but can’t chip in the cash for something high-end, then the MODI 3+ is a must-have. I am set on between CAN and Topping A50s and its interesting that somebody else on another forum reported when paired with Topping D50s and trying both A50s and CAN, that CAN was more enjoyable and had more power and A50s had no mids in comparison and sounded anemic and fatiguing.

When it comes to their DACs, I am sure I am not gonna get them and get Schiit Modi instead. Today I received the Zen Dac after buying other products from iFi and being very impressed with them I decided to give their Zen Dac a try. Might ok for fun listening unless iFi' sound signature's spray of distortion brings up harsh fatiguing brightness. ![]() ifi products are not for people who mix music, whatever they market and name "warm relax sound". Its plenty loud without gain already at volume 10 and when going below it, I start getting some slight channel imbalance.
