What makes this better than, say a Schiit Modi Mutibit?No one said it did, but the Schit having a non audio based chip R2R converter that can't do dsd, and this having a discrete R2R converter, my money would go on the Airist. Time will tell when the reviews start coming out on how good it is, but these initial reviews 3 pages are very glowing.
