As SegaCD said, they are powered speakers:
Any PC speaker with a sub has powered drivers.

I’ve used your speakers. Don’t bother with a dac. Not worth it with these.Ya but my speakers are small near-field Logitech 2.1 X230 (costed 50$ 10 years ago), so thought these may work. My use cases will be mostly these Logitech, 20% HD598 / IE80 headphones. Dont want anything which is overkill for these 3.
Conclusions
The S/PDIF performance of Schiit Modi 3 Uber put a smile on my face and easily garners my recommendation for that use. The DAC is a bargain at that price with that level of performance. USB input unfortunately falls behind in my testing, likely due to sensitivity to input noise. Since Schiit doesn't show that problem in their testing, your specific host and DAC configuration may perform better.
EDIT: Using WASAPI instead of ASIO4ALL wrapper (which my analyzer requires) resolved the issue with USB. As such, I am recommending the Schiit Modi 3 without reservations.
I will test Schiit Modi 2 Multibit against this later but for now, I am confident to say that this is the best Modi option to purchase.
On a more general note, it is wonderful to see Schiit taking objective measurements and good engineering practices to heart. We have the tools to make sure our designs are right and a company the size of Schiit needs to design products in this manner. I expect better execution from Schiit in future products.

No I have not. Love to measure the Korg though if someone has one and wants to loan it to me.I'm still new so maybe I just haven't found it yet but have you tested the Schiit Bifrost (not the multibit), Amir? Or the Korg Ds-DAC-100? Those are my go-to DAC's.
You got it.No I have not. Love to measure the Korg though if someone has one and wants to loan it to me.
Dear @amirm ,
I just saw that on youtube.
Would you please, if you still have the Modi 3 on hand, MEASURE this statement?: "Modi 3 sounds a bit better"
Thanks.
I own the Modi 3 so sure, I can test. The issue though is that he says it deals with vibrations. So I have to play something on speakers???Would you please, if you still have the Modi 3 on hand, MEASURE this statement?: "Modi 3 sounds a bit better"
I guess so. Though I don't expect anything to be honest.So I have to play something on speakers???
Let me see if I can find a simpler way to simulate vibrations and its effect with and without the weight.I guess so. Though I don't expect anything to be honest.
You have to make sure it's music that you really don't like. You don't want any Good Vibrations mucking up the experiment.Let me see if I can find a simpler way to simulate vibrations and its effect with and without the weight.
You guys are absolutely terrible. We have two dogs here and I could be accused of animal cruelty with above!You have to make sure it's music that you really don't like. You don't want any Good Vibrations mucking up the experiment.
I suggest Justin Beiber's Purpose on HDtracks for best results.
