HDMI to hdmi (1080P)
Modi is the most advanced DAC under $100 that is made in the USA. The Modi has an optical input for use with Apple TV, Airport Express, computer optical output, CD/DVD players, and many other sources, Modi is a great way to get better sound from virtually any source.
Modi Optical: For Airport Express, TVs, Gamers, CD Players, and Beyond
Modi Optical plugs into any optical source-from computer sound cards to Apple TV-and delivers great sound up to 24/192. As with all SPDIF components, it requires no drivers, and it's powered by a small wall-wart.
24-Bit AKM4396 DAC
Modi uses the 24-bit AKM4396 DAC with switched-capacitor filtering and a high-quality active filter section with excellent line-driving capability. What this means is that it uses one of the highest-performance DAC ICs out there, and it will comfortably drive long cables.
Made in USA
By "made in USA," we mean made in USA. The vast majority of the total production cost of Modi-chassis, boards, assembly, etc-goes to US companies. Our board house is 20 minutes away from our office in Newhall. Our chassis guys are just over the hill in the Valley.
2-Year Warranty
Modi is covered by a limited warranty that covers parts and labor for two years. That's 2x the warranty of most of the products in this price range.
Return Policy
Unlike our other DACs, Modi is so affordable we can't offer the same satisfaction guarantee. But if you don't like your Modi, you can still send it back for a refund, minus 15% restocking fee, within 30 days of receiving your amp.
