Platforms that support Modi 3's 100% UAC2 compliant USB input are:
Windows. Windows 10 is highly recommended. It is usually plug and play with our DACs. Windows 7 and 8 will work, but may need our drivers. Windows XP, Vista, and Windows Server editions are all untested and are not recommended.
Mac OSX. From 10.7 on up, Macs have been plug and play with our DACs.
iOS. From iOS7 on up, iOS devices work with our DACs using a USB Camera Connection Kit, Lightning to USB Camera Adapter, or Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter.
Android. Most Android devices that shipped with Android M or above work with our DACs using a USB OTG cable. Some may require separate player software, like USB Audio Player Pro.
Linux. Most Linux distros that support UAC2 natively will be plug and play with our DACs. Please note that we cannot provide detailed technical support for Linux.
Designed and Assembled in USA The vast majority of the total production cost of Modi 3--chassis, boards, transformers, assembly, etc.--goes to US companies manufacturing in the US. The wall-warts are made in China, but there's some give and take at this price point.
2-Year Warranty Modi 3 is covered by a limited warranty that covers parts and labor for two years.
