Need an excellent standalone DAC, but don’t want to spend a fortune?
Here you go: Modi 5 gives you our unique Mesh conversion, Unison 384, and Linear Override. The result? The most flexible, best-sounding inexpensive DAC out there. Mesh: Sounds Expensive. Isn't.
All of our True Multibit or Multiform DACs have used our own proprietary digital filter, developed through decades of R&D. Mesh brings this unique digital filter to a much more affordable price point, by meshing (ahem) a 32-bit Microchip processor with a standard delta-sigma modulator. The result? Something that sounds a lot more like our more expensive DACs. All Inputs Covered. Modi 5 is USB powered for maximum transportability and flexibility—it’ll run your optical and coax inputs via the included USB-C cable.
Designed and Built in the USA. For Real. By "designed and built in the USA," we mean it. We do our own PCBs, assembly, test, and QC in Corpus Christi. Our chassis are made in California. No joking, no fooling, no games.
