Upgrading your membership here though Paypal ( ).Įverything other than the tall spike at 12 kHz is unwanted and not part of the original signal.Īs you see, measuring down to better than -120 dB, we see the jitter spurious tones are there without Schiit Wyrd. If you like this review, or even if you don't but wish for me to have wagyu steak tomorrow, please consider donating funds using: It does nothing that your DAC needs and is yet another contraption taking space on your desk.Īs always, questions, comments, recommendations, etc. Needless to say, I can NOT recommend the Schiit Wyrd. Therefore any improvement perceived, is one manufactured by the brain, not heard by the ear. As we have shown here, the waveform coming out of the DAC is NOT improved in any way.

How about the many people who swear these products make an audible difference? Simple: they use lay intuition that the device is actually improving the output of the DAC, listen more carefully and all of a sudden notice detail that was always there but was not noticed. If you are getting no static or drop outs, then you are golden: the usb clock has done its job.

USB bus only needs to be clean enough for reliable data transmission. The dac chip runs from an internally generated clock source, not derived from USB. Reclocking the USB bus is even more futile. So no wonder cleaning up the power has yet to show any improvement in countless tests I have run. More so, that power is not what comes out of your DAC but goes through other circuits which themselves have immunity to power differences. Making the source power cleaner makes little difference here. This filtering may be as good as 100X better than what comes in. The power goes through a conversion to another voltage and filtering. Reasons are obvious from engineering point of view: no DAC uses USB power as is. We could test more DACs until we get bored out of our mind but for now, I say we have convincing results that with any half-decent DAC, including Schiit's own, the Wyrd does nothing.Īs many of us suspect, products like Schiit do nothing to improve the output of DACs. Wyrd of course does nothing for this good implementation.Īs an aside, see how the noise floor is lower on dac1 in lower frequencies (bottom of the tones) than Schiit Modi 3. Now the results fall right on top of each other because of stable performance of dac1.

I left out the Schiit power supply as it works fine with USB power alone (I also tested with its external power supply and results are the same): Per above, I tested the Schiit Modi 3 alone and with Wyrd. In English, this processing substantially lowers the measured noise of the DAC, allowing us to see the smallest distortion and spurious responses. This is done with a very deep "FFT" of 256,000 points. Any improvement better show up in the output of the DAC or it doesn't exist as far as I am concerned.įor testing very small differences especially as it relates to data interconnects, I use jitter measurements. To cover our bases, I also tested with another DAC under review (March Audio dac1).Īs I always do, I test what happens to the output of the DAC, not what the device does or does not to USB signal. So why not clean them and generate better sound? Schiit doesn't provide any measurements to show efficacy of the product so that job falls on our shoulders.įor this testing I thought I should measure the performance of Schiit Modi 3 DAC per picture above. These solutions make "perfect" intuitive sense: USB is a computer port so by definition must have dirty power and signal.
