Wow, I wonder if they will have a streaming version with the “Schitt Pi” they were talking about in an interview a while back

It's a drawback nonetheless. I like DSD. And some people like to use a media player which upsamples PCM.It's a drawback for like 3% of the market.
Schiit hates software, they stated that several times on their thread/book, so I doubt that very much. Would be cool though. Maybe a position like "it is there to connect to Pis but we won't support it at all, good luck", but I still doubt that.Wow, I wonder if they will have a streaming version with the “Schitt Pi” they were talking about in an interview a while back

Micro USB in 2020 is not a deal breaker but definitely to be avoided imo.They should have either used USB-B or USB-C

Not having MQA is a drawback... Not having a 1000 other features is a drawback. The reality is that most music is PCM and going past 16/44.1 is quickly hitting diminishing returns.
It's $199 for a fully balanced DAC.
I think firmwares is where they are and a full blown software with GUI crosses their line.They were talking about in a video interview but, It has been a while, so probably not.
They use software to control their amplifiers. I think most "hardware" companies are now hardware/software companies.

What does "Assembled in the USA" exactly mean?
Seems to be little ambiguity when I look gear from JDS Labs and Geshelli Labs.

ATI for example states "Designed, engineered, and assembled" in the USA.
This is common and often includes "using globally sourced parts".
I don't think it is possible to build electronics with all parts made in the USA.

Per the product page:
Designed and Built in California
By “designed and built in California" this is what we mean: the vast majority of the total production cost of Modius—chassis, boards, transformers, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Our chassis are made minutes from our facility. Our PCBs are done just over the hill from us. Yes, the wall-warts aren't made here, but there's some give and take at this price point.
The reason they say "assembled" is because of California's extremely strict labeling laws. It's basically impossible to source components (resistors, caps, silicon) from US manufacturers because it just isn't made here any more for the most part.But it's possible to list percentages of components/origins.
Also, the definition of "assembled" is ambiguous.
