Schiit Multibits vs Chord Mojo

Now that Schiit has three multibit DACs that are fairly reasonably priced, (Modi Multibit, Bifrost Multibit, and Gungnir Multibit), I was wondering if anyone has heard/compared any of the above DACs to the Chord Mojo. The Mojo has good reviews, but I don't listen to headphones, so I would prefer to go with a DAC that doesn't have a headphone amplifier and isn't portable.

Any sonic differences that you have heard between the multibit Schiit DACs would be appreciated.

Input to this DAC will be from an Auralic Aries Mini music player/streamer, if that makes any difference.

Thanks

You are comparing apples to oranges. The most comparable Chord DAC's are the  2Qute or DAVE, of which I can see no price(nor have I heard).
Schiit has a 15 day money back guarantee, why not try out the Bifrost or Modi?
I own the Bifrost multibit and can say without hesitation that it performs outstandingly.
I just bought the Modi Multibit, but haven't had time to hook it up.

The DAVE is a $13K dac/preamp, so would not bear comparison to the Schiit models.
The QuteEx (discontinued), 2Qute, the Hugo and Hugo TT are the comparable models, although at higher price points than Schiit.

I would also like to hear from users of the Multibit models.

Swear I posted on this thread and my reply was removed. I have no idea why, and wonder if mods are deleting posts without notifying poster that it's happened or why. Anybody?

I compared Schiit Gungnir Multibit to Chord Hugo in my system and bought the Schiit Gungnir. So happy with it. Paired with Sonore microRendu, it's gotten raves from many visitors, a couple who've bought Gungnirs or Yggys since then. Cheers,

I think I remember reading it, they both advertise in the dealers directory, so it can't be that?

Cheers George

I am sure that there will be multiple comparisons on HeadFi. The sound quality reported there should equally apply to speaker systems. Love my Mojo, and hope to hear the Multibit one of these days...
