    "the DAC section is really good"

    You are listening to the analogue out?

    That's what I am doing: unbalanced to my integrated amp. It is more than good enough for my hearing (although my speakers aren't) and I suspect it is a lot better than I can hear.

    I am indeed listening too its analogue out. It is very good. WAY better than my Xonar ST and not embarrassed by the Modi at all on headphones performance.

    Great! This is so "politically incorrect" with some people. You know, noise inside the box and all that!

    There was a long thread on gearslutz with loopback comparisons. The Juli@ was at the top of the list with gear costing vastly more

    But oh so hard to get good analogue in/out internal sound cards now. DAC makers and their buyers have destroyed the market.
    I'd still be using my old (and first good) RME card, but it makes funny noises now. Like me!

    Indeed. I was very surprised. Kinda funny there was huge hoopla over the Xonar series and to my ears this is quite a bit better. Even considering selling the Modi now...
