I liked their stuff until they started using new chips that fail after 6-12 months of use. It was such a hard time to get them replaced I ended up buying other stuff. I hope they realized their mistake and corrected it but I have my doubts.

Which chips are you referring to? I had a schiit modi with a bad usb chip but the magni seems fine.

My Modi wouldn't recognize in Windows 11 half the time. The DAC was out of warranty to replace/fix for free. They were easily able to replicate the issue I guess, and sent me a new one free of charge. Customer for life.

I suspect you encountered the same issue. If you pop the lid off and stick it under a heat lamp/gun/whatever for 5 minutes, it fixes the problem until the next reboot or sleep. I did contact support regarding this, didn't get a replacement.

Do you happen to know what version you had? The PCB version is printed on it. I think they stopped using that chip in favor of their "Unison USB", whatever that is.

I don't recall sorry. I did do that. I think Mist recommended I try that. It worked for like a few months just fine, but reverted back to the same issue.

Note on the Gunnar. It doesn't have RCA's for the input, just USB C. I grabbed an RCA to USB cable (won't get until Saturday) with the hopes that will get sound from the Modi to the Gunnar properly. JUST in case I snagged a Vali 3 also.

I don't think the Gunnr is supposed to be integrated into a stack. If I understand what you're doing, the Modi will decode digital to analog, then some shitty adapter cable will encode analog back to digital, then the Gunnr will decode digital to analog?

You're correct. I realized that as soon as I looked at the back of the Gunnar.

And for the record...I didn't buy a shitty adapter cable. I bought a SCHITTY adapter cable.

I hope the quality is good. I'd try to avoid extraneous encoding and decoding steps regardless of quality.
