This US$70 listing is a strong deal, sitting well below the 25th percentile of US$75 and nearly US$36 under the median of US$106 for recent used Schiit Modi 3 listings. You are paying significantly less than the typical market floor (US$75–US$140) for a DAC that redefined the two-figure category when it launched at US$99.
The Modi 3 remains a worthwhile buy because it upgraded the original Modi 2 by adding S/PDIF COAX and TOSLINK inputs alongside USB, effectively merging the features of the former Uber model into one chassis with a revised power supply. It delivers the clean, punchy sound Schiit is known for at a price point that makes it an excellent entry DAC or transport for a multi-source setup. Since the price is this low, the unknown condition is the only variable to watch, but even with minor cosmetic wear, the value here is undeniable for a fellow enthusiast.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Schiit Audio: Brand Overview
Schiit Audio is an American audio company founded in June 2010 by Jason Stoddard and Mike Moffat, two veteran engineers with deep roots in the high-fidelity industry. Based in California with manufacturing operations in Texas, the company emerged from a shared vision between its founders—who had reconnected after years in separate audio ventures—to democratize desktop hi-fi. The name itself, deliberately provocative, reflects Stoddard's irreverent approach to a traditionally buttoned-up market, born from his wife's exasperated suggestion during late-night garage sessions.
The company specializes in personal audio components, with a product portfolio spanning digital-to-analog converters (DACs), headphone amplifiers, preamplifiers, and integrated amplifier-DAC combinations. Schiit's first product, the Asgard headphone amplifier, launched in 2010, followed by the Bifrost DAC in 2011. The lineup ranges from entry-level pieces starting around $99 to premium offerings exceeding $2,000, with the company positioning itself as a leader in direct-to-consumer audio sales.
Schiit occupies a distinctive position as an accessible yet credible player in the audiophile market. Rather than pursuing ultra-premium positioning, the company has built its reputation on delivering genuine sonic performance at consumer-friendly prices—a philosophy its founders describe as trying to "out-cheap" each other. This strategy has resonated strongly; the company has grown substantially since inception, operating from a dedicated 15,000-square-foot facility and maintaining a reputation for transparency, quality engineering, and genuine engagement with the audio enthusiast community.
