Schiit Audio Modius E

High Performance DAC and USB
Modius E features Schiit’s exclusive Unison USB™ interface, which provides plug-and-play compatibility with virtually any modern device. Combined with the ESS ES9028 D/A converter and dedicated balanced and single-ended output stages with DC-coupled output, Modius provides exceptional performance for a very low price.

Class-Leading Versatility
Plug Modius E into virtually any computer or streamer with the included USB A-C cable and you’re ready to go. Or, choose optical, coaxial, or AES digital sources and use the included wall power supply. Or, if you want to connect your phone or tablet—something that needs very low power draw—again, use the included wall power supply to eliminate dreaded “draws too much power” errors. That’s right—Modius accepts pretty much any input you can throw at it! 

Perfect Stack with Asgard, Jotunheim, and Lyr
Modius E  has exactly the same footprint as our popular mid-sized amp series. If you’re looking for more connectivity than the internal cards provide, Modius is a perfect pair. Don’t have one of our amps? No worries, Modius works great with virtually anything!

Designed and Built in Texas
The vast majority of the total production cost of Modius E—chassis, boards, transformers, assembly, etc—goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. Chassis are actually made in California (though the metal comes from Texas). PCBs are done in Nevada, Utah, or California. Yes, the wall-warts are from Taiwan, but there's some give and take at this price point.
