The Modi 5 is a digital-to-analogue converter from Schiit Audio, sharing the Mimir's exceptional measured performance within a more accessible, value-focused chassis. The Modi 5 brings Schiit's considered engineering to accessible digital conversion.
Key specs that matter
PCM support reaches up to 32-bit/384kHz. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Output impedance is 75 ohms single-ended. Signal-to-noise ratio is an exceptional 118dB, matching the Mimir, with total harmonic distortion plus noise at 0.0003% at 22kHz, also matching. At 127 x 88.9 x 31.75mm and 0.45kg, the Modi 5 maintains a manageable, accessible DAC chassis.
Sound and use context
Expect exceptionally clean, detailed conversion reflecting the exceptional 118dB signal-to-noise figure and near-immeasurable 0.0003% distortion figure, representing exceptional value at this accessible price tier.
Pairing
Schiit's own amplifier catalogue offers natural, brand-coherent pairings for a coherently voiced, entirely Schiit-based system.
Alternatives
Schiit's own Mimir offers a more accomplished alternative with a distinctive Mesh filter architecture within the same broader digital source catalogue.
