Music Hall vs. Schiit

I'd recommend the Modi multibit for warm, analog sound. 

I read a couple of tech reviews on the Schiit Modi Multibit which were quite disparaging.

Only because it doesn't measure as well as some other DACs on the market. But that doesn't always tell the whole story

The difficulty is that each DAC has its own musical signature. And in addition, how a DAC plays is dependent upon one's other audio components. So it seems to me that there is a certain "crap shoot" until you can actually audition a DAC in your audio system. So it seems that the best I can do is to consider DACs that have a wide reputation of producing a warmer non-solid state sound. The Music Hall & Schiit products seem to fit the bill. However, if anyone has other recommendations at a similar price point, I would appreciate your suggestions. Thank you.

I wouldn’t overthink it kitjv. The Modi3 gets superb reviews and is only $99. You can’t go wrong. I don’t find it thin or analytical sounding w/ my tube amp, yet plenty resolving.
