Has this happened to anyone with this one?** A: I'm just mostly curious as to how you figured out that heating it up with a hair dryer worked. Did you try balancing it on top of a Ranch dressing bottle first? or hitting it with a shoe? Mostly just curious as to how many percussive or thermal adjustments were attempted before arriving at this solution. **Q: How would i connect my ipod? what cable do i need?** A: This device is not meant to connect to an iPod. **Q: Does it works with bose l1 compact or pro8?** A: As long as the have RCA inputs, you can run your digital output from your soutce into the Modi and the Modi into any amplifier with RCA ins. **Q: If i use the schitt modi 3 with my desktop using the optical out connecting powered speakers will i still be able to use my desktop volume control?** A: i don't think so. i think you would have to use the volume control on the speakers. you can if you use the usb connection. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***P on October 23, 2023* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by -***. on October 11, 2021* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***A on July 10, 2025* --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/257933426-schiit-modi-3-d-a-converter-delta-sigma-dac-black](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/257933426-schiit-modi-3-d-a-converter-delta-sigma-dac-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
