Best Schiit Modius Input

[OctoEmu]

Which input should I use for the Schiit Modius? I'm unsure of which to use since the review did USB, Toslink, and Coax.

I use USB and Coax. Can't tell the difference on either very-resolving speakers or very good headphones. It's a solid DAC.

It's all digital data in. Shouldn't matter at all.

I think w/the USB you will have higher sample rate options in the Windows settings/properties.

 

[IcyMidnight]

Oh, yeah. That's maybe worth checking. Probably depends on what'd in between.

I'm kind of interested in this dac. Looking for a usd200 xlr balanced dac... wonder if I should get this or wait for the new Topping d30pro... currently there's no mention of price for the new Topping dac

USB is ever-so-slightly lower jitter than optical aes or coax, but it's really a non-issue for any of them. I have mine hooked up to my ADI-2 Pro for a second set of outputs (though admittedly I'm considering selling mine).
