OPERATION
If you’re using Modi 3 as a USB only DAC, you
don’t need Power Input. Just connect it to your
computer with the supplied USB Micro cable and
you’re set.
If you’re using the other digital inputs, and you’re
NOT using USB, you need Power Input. Connect
the supplied USB wall-wart with the supplied USB
Micro cable to provide power for the other inputs.
Modi 3 won’t work without power, and power
comes from USB.
