Sorry just starting to build more momentum in the audiophile world, currently I have a dedicated server PC for all my closed circuit NVR/security, PLEX server, and personal cloud in my living room near my audio station. Using a Schiit Modi 2 USB DAC that seems similar to this and it sounds pretty good. It has a weird quieting bug where it intermittently dampens audio (noticable but barely) every so often. I have it going as PC box -> to Modi 2 DAC via USB -> to Denon Receiver via RCA -> Klipsch RF-28 (pair) + RP450 (center) + R14 (pair surrounds)
Would this unit be a substantial upgrade over the Schiit Modi 2, or just likely up to user preference? Planning to use DAC as network streaming ideally...Thanks in advance ya'll
