CONNECTIONS

SCHIIT MODI 3E Digital to Analog Converter - figure 1

  1. RCA Analog Outputs. Connect the two RCA jacks, to your amp, preamp, or receiver.
  2. Coaxial Digital Input. Connect a coaxial digital source, using an RCA cable, 75 ohms preferred.
  3. Optical Digital Input. Connect an optical source to the optical input jack, using a Toslink cable.
  4. USB Data and Power Input. Connect a USB source using a USB micro cable (supplied).
  5. Power Input. Connect the supplied 5V power source if you need external power.

OPERATION

If you’re using Modi 3E as a USB-only DAC, you don’t need Power Input. Just connect it to your computer with the supplied USB Micro cable and you’re set.
If you’re using the other digital inputs, and you’re NOT using USB, you need Power Input. Connect the supplied USB wall-wart with the supplied USB Micro cable to provide power for the other inputs. Modi 3E won’t work without power, and power comes from a USB.

CONTROLS

  1. Power LED. This lights up when you have Modi 3E plugged into a computer, or into an external power source. It doesn’t signal UFOs or anything.
  2. Input Selector. Use the toggle switch to select what you want to listen to.

Top: Unison USB™ input
Middle: Optical (Toslink) input
Bottom: Coaxial input
Pretty straightforward, right?

TROUBLESHOOTING

“Draws too much power” error. You’ll need to use additional power. Disconnect Modi 3E from your source, then connect the wall-wart to the Power Input using the USB Micro cable. The Modi 3E will then report as a 0mA USB device. You’ll need another cable to connect to your source.
No sound? Make sure Modi 3E is selected in Control Panel (Windows) or System Prefs (Mac) AND in your player software.
