Mesh™ Achievement Unlocked
Mesh Expands to the Entry-Level Schiit Line
December 3, 2025, Corpus Christi, TX. Today, Schiit Audio announced the immediate availability of Modi 5, our most affordable standalone Mesh™ DAC, and Magni Unity with the all-new Mesh DAC card, for a complete one-box amp/DAC solution. Mesh combines our unique time-and frequency-domain closed-form digital filter with a standard delta-sigma modulator. Modi also includes Unison 384™, Schiit’s unique USB input implementation, and Linear Override™, Schiit’s unique power supply topology providing convenience and performance. Modi 5 is priced at $149 in black finish, $159 in silver. Magni Unity with Mesh DAC is priced at $199 in black, $209 in silver.
“Mesh delivers a DAC that sounds a lot more like our flagship DACs, at a much more affordable price,” said Jason Stoddard, Schiit’s co-founder. “By incorporating a version of our unique digital filter, we’ve achieved a giant leap in performance.”
Mesh™ dramatically reduces the cost of implementing Schiit’s proprietary, closed-form “megacomboburrito” digital filter by implementing it on the same 32-bit microprocessor that enables Unison 384™.
Modi 5 also includes Unison 384, Schiit’s proprietary USB input, and Linear Override, a unique power supply that allows it to be run from a single USB for portability and convenience, or to use an AC wall-wart to override the switching supply with a higher-voltage linear-regulated one, for higher output and additional headroom.
Magni Unity with Mesh DAC provides a single-box desktop amp/DAC system for driving headphones and powered monitors. WIth 2.5W of power into 32 ohms, Magni Unity delivers plenty of power for hard-to-drive headphones, while also providing a vanishingly low noise floor for IEMs.
“We don’t just buy our USB input from someone else, fully done,” said Jason. “Nor do we use the built-in digital filter on a standard DAC. We engineer our power supplies so it’s easy to get improved linear performance. All of this means Modi 5 delivers far above what any other DAC in its price class.”
Modi 5 is available now at schiit.com.
