![]() ![]() They may have been mislead, they may have been plain wrong, but it's not the reason they did it. Debuting on Schiit’s more expensive True Multibit DACs, from Bifrost 2 to Yggdrasil, Unison USB recently appeared on the 199 Modius is now standard in the 99 Modi 3+. The point I want to make is that Moffat view it differently, and at the kind of volume specialised, non mainstream audio equipment go and at the speed a technological "advancement" become obsolete, You don't spend two years developping something to save cost, no way. Schiit’s Unison USB is a unique UAC2 interface, developed over two person-years to deliver the highest-performance digital interface for PCM audio. The debate if USB audio is flawed and impose some compromise is still a valid debate but it's not the point I want to make. Now, they may be wrong and too self congratuling, and maybe as you say there is no valid reason reinventing the wheel, but I'm totally certain it is not a cost saving venture, they genuinely tried to fix some issues with the off the shelves USB solutions. ![]() And yes, that's me saying this, not an alien pod person." 20-bit R2R using four AD5791, 2nd gen A2 analog board and Unison USB, same as the Yggdrasil+ OG whch costs US2,799. It's not 'just as good,' or 'close.' It's really better than SPDIF. Plug Modi+ into virtually any computer, streamer, tablet, or phone and youre ready to go, complete with the best USB interface available: Schiits own Unison. "As a result, Unison USB is now our preferred input over SPDIF. According to Schiit, the new Unison USB board provides superior performance at very low current draw from the host, as well as complete electromagnetic and electrostatic isolation. "Unison USB is designed to do a single thing, and to do it better than anything else: deliver exceptional PCM audio performance," said Mike Moffat, Schiit's Co-Founder and head of digital development. Unison USB is Schiit's unique, proprietary USB input that is the result of 2 person-years of development, running on a general-purpose Microchip microprocessor. Running on a general-purpose Microchip microprocessor (rather than a typical XMOS or C-Media solution), Unison USB provides superior UAC2 performance at very low current draw from the host, as well as complete electromagnetic and electrostatic isolation. Unison USB is Schiit's unique, proprietary USB input that is the result of 2 person-years of development. But this week the Californian company has announced the immediate availability of an improved version of their entry-level US99 Modi 3 DAC. ![]()
