I bought a Schiit Modi3 a year or two ago to see if the company was good. I'm disappointed and holding off on any more purchases. The DAC was sent back twice with a defective MoBo. All in all, this $120 DAC cost me $30 of repairs by shipping it back to the company. I expected a gesture, at best an upgrade, but no such thing but a one-liner, your Schiit has shipped! Yeah, real excited about it.
I wanted to buy other things but the after-sales services leave me cautious if I have to spend 20% more of its price to be repaired.
