It seems they have done fair bit in there while keeping the price the same: https://darko.audio/2018/09/schiit-introduce-modi-3-dac-still-us99/
“The original Modi in 2012 was a USB-only DAC that worked only up to 24/96 and provided only 1.5V RMS output due to its simple USB power supply. Now, Modi 3 gives you three switchable digital inputs, a better D/A converter, 24/192 capability, a dual rail power supply and full 2.0V RMS output—and we included a wall-wart and a USB cable, for the same price as the original Modi.”
Ah, does this mean I can go back to being a specialist negotiator for the yakuza and amir can ..., well carry on living out the back of a van but not have to come home as often?Looks like they provide full measurements actually.
In addition, Modi 3 is the first product developed using new investments in Audio Precision and Avermetrics test equipment, which has helped it to be the best-performing DAC Schiit has ever offered, when using conventional metrics. A full APx555 report is provided in the product specs.
Conventional, scientific measurements hooray! In-house APx555 Report for Modi 3
I powered it on and did one measurement a few days ago. Based on that, there is nothing to write home about as far as electronic performance.@amirm
Aune S6 just showed back up on Massdrop. I know you said you had one of these. Any chance we'll see a review soon? I don't know if I'm actually interested in pulling the trigger, but it got me thinking about it.

I'm also still curious about the "Pangea Audio AC" cable in the list would be nice to see stuff like this debunked once and for all.
Wow, seems too good to be true. Ordered.
Will be here late october it says.

I will post the S6 later but for now as I noted elsewhere, it does not have exceptional performance.I am curious about Aune DAC/amps since the Aune amp you reviewed had such excellent performance.
Bummer.I will post the S6 later but for now as I noted elsewhere, it does not have exceptional performance.
Bummer.
And this is why I love and support this site - a quick search, just before I hit the “Join Drop” button, saved me 400.00 and the disappointment that would have accompanied it! Thank you Amir!I will post the S6 later but for now as I noted elsewhere, it does not have exceptional performance.
