Schiit Modi 3 D/A Converter - Delta-Sigma DAC

I'm considering buying a second one and would highly recommend this in it's price range. Cleanest, clearest, flattest DAC I've tried.
Just got this DAC today and I believe it sounds better. I think it has little more meaty sound and thats what I was looking for.
Incredible piece of equipment with amazing sound. I'm blown away by the price to quality ratio here.
Fantastic product, I reccomend Schiit to anyone who wants top end audio through headphones of audiophile quality.
This DAC is great and is well worth the price. Strongly recommend to anyone!

Chord Mojo ultimate DAC/Headphone Amplifier, USB, Coaxial, and Optical, Black

Mojo brings studio quality sound to your pocket and is the ultimate, truly portable, DAC/Amp.
This is an amazing capable portable headphone DAC & amp.
I run this DAC with my Audeze LCD2s through Tidal and iPad mini. The sound is awesome, the soundstage is huge and the resolution is incredible.
Chord Mojo is the finest pocket DAC/headphone amp that delivers much of the sound.
I can't recommend this little marvel enough for anyone wanting a portable DAC & Headphone.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Schiit Modi 3 D/A Converter - Delta-Sigma DAC

Great little DAC to add in between an Echo Link and your good old-fashioned stereo receiver.
Build quality and aesthetics are top notch. This little thing are solid construction.
It is significantly smaller than my old DAC from another company. By the way the old one were break thanks to his big construction.
It's a great small dac. Beats my mobo dac in every way. For some it's a start but for me it's the end of the journey in searching audio equipment.
Great little inexpensive DAC. Natural sounding and accurate enough for a delta sigma DAС.

Chord Mojo ultimate DAC/Headphone Amplifier, USB, Coaxial, and Optical, Black

Smaller than you expect, about the size of a pack of cigarettes.
Feels slightly heavy, but the small size and even distribution keeps it from being cumbersome.
I pair the Mojo with an I basso dx90, which is a superb combo as the size of each unit is well matched.
In terms of build quality, the thing is deceptively heavy for its size.
Very expensive. And it is very small so it is easy to lose.

What customers say about "Features"

Schiit Modi 3 D/A Converter - Delta-Sigma DAC

Modi 3 is a really nice upgrade with optical and optional power supply.
Sounds as good on USB, as SPDIF-no need for upgrade power supplies etc.
Can be used with PC, PS4 and Xbox 360, and any other devices with Digital or Coax outputs.
The SPDIF input is handy for sources that might not play nice with USB input (looking at you, gaming consoles).
The sound is not very dynamic sounding and I find the sound a step or three behind my old DAC.

A sufficiently wide soundstage painted on a pitch black canvas, the music layered and separated, sounding as it should top to bottom.
I am very sensitive to digital hash that you normally experience but this product allows you to relax and enjoy the music.
The odd yet cute power and volume control buttons are easy to get used to and soon become endearing to fiddle with.
In and of itself that is of no consequence, but the device reflects a rather odd user interface.
It worked for one hour then the volume control on my computer started switching from the internal DAC to the Mojo very rapidly.
