A couple of years ago I purchased a Schiit Magni 2 Uber that I didn't really like and to top it off, I had a bad experience with customer service that just put me off Schiit all together.
Fast forward a couple of years later, I purchased a Chromecast audio device that sounded decent, but not great. I also purchased a vintage Sony CDP-608ESD cd player that sounded very dynamic, but was a little too bright to my ears. Now that I had these two devices, I felt they both would benefit from a new external DAC and the Schiit Modi Multibit seemed like the best value out there.
I'm not disappointed with this purchase at all. For the price, I'd say the sound is very good and definitely helps my Chromecast audio and Sony CD player sound a whole lot better. When compared to my Bluesound Node 2 streamer, the Schiit is quite comparable and seems to offer slightly better bass. My only qualm is with the input selector which just seems really fiddly and doesn't work too well. Also, the little graphics to indicate the input type, don't really make sense to me and could be better. I wanted to use this with my iMac, but this DAC has a USB-B connector and a cable isn't included, I'm not sure why this type of a USB connector is included and not a more conventional type.
