CONNECTIONS
1 Connect the two RCA jacks to your amp,
preamp, or receiver.
2 Connect a USB source using a USB A-C
cable (supplied). If you’re using a USB
source, this may be the only input you need.
3 (Optional) Connect a coaxial digital
source to the coaxial input, using an RCA
cable, 75 ohm preferred.
4 (Optional) Connect an optical source
to the optical input jack, using a Toslink
cable.
5 (Optional) Connect a 5V power source
to the power input if you need external
power—see below.
If you’re using Modi+ as a USB only DAC, you don’t
need Power Input. Just connect it to your computer
and you’re set.
If you’re using the other digital inputs, and you’re
NOT using USB, you need Power Input. Connect the
USB wall-wart with the supplied USB A-C cable to
provide power for the other inputs.

USING MODI+
1Select input by pressing the input button.
This selects from three inputs—USB, optical,
and coaxial. Keep pressing and it will cycle
back around thru the inputs.
2When lit, the Unison USB™ input is
selected. This is good for computers,
tablets, streamers, and phones.
3 When lit, the Optical (Toslink style) input
is selected. Typically used with TVs.
4 When lit, the Coaxial input is selected.
Used with some CD players and transports.
TROUBLESHOOTING
“Draws too much power” error? Disconnect
Modi+ from USB, then connect the wall-wart
to the Power Input. Modi+ will then report as
a 0mA USB device. You’ll need another USB
cable to connect to your source.
No sound? Make sure you have the correct
output device selected on your device. For
computers, you may need to select Modi+
in both Control Panel (Windows) or System
Prefs (Mac) AND in your player software or
streaming service interface.
