At £100, this Schiit Modi 3 sits just under the 75th percentile of £104 and is a fair, solid-market buy rather than a bargain. It’s not cheap compared to the median of £78 or the 25th percentile of £56, but it’s not overpriced either—just squarely in the upper tier of typical used asking prices in GBP.
The Modi 3 remains well-regarded for its versatile inputs (USB, coax, optical), clean AK4490-based decoding up to 24bit/192kHz, and DC-coupled output stage that avoids unnecessary buffering. At this price, you’re paying for a proven, compact DAC that still delivers excellent value for its original $99 USD launch cost (roughly £80 GBP today), and if this listing includes original accessories or is from an original owner, it’s a worthwhile upgrade path for budget-conscious listeners seeking multi-input flexibility without stepping into expensive gear.
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.
