I am about to upgrade to more expensive DACs merely out of curiosity but I have tried the Modi on amps worth up to a thousand dollars and it scales really well. The improvements by changing amp are HUGE which means the Modi is not a bottleneck and will sound better with better amps. I have a friend who has improved his system in every aspect (amps and headphones) but keeps the Modi because he believes it will make very little difference to upgrade it. The Modi is probably not the ultimate best DAC ever made but it is fantastic for the price and will not hold you back when you upgrade your system. It MAY be the only DAC you ever need... unless you are like me and have to upgrade out of sheer curiosity.

I use Modi on my vacuum amp and it works great. Based on what I read, it should work with this N22 amp. You would have to connect the computer to the Modi via USB cable and use RCA cables to connect from Modi outputs to the N22 amp inputs, then from back of N22 outputs connect to the bookshelf speakers with speaker cable.

Hard to say since I have never used the Audioengine amp but I don't see why it wouldn't work well. I have hooked it up to an old Sony 2-channel amp (TA-F450D) and to my Home Theater amp (Yamaha DSP-A1) and it sounds excellent. So I suspect the output levels would be enough to drive the Audioengine as well.

I think it would work fine, but the Schiit Magni would probably be a better choice, both aesthetically, and as far as matching the output... After all, they are matching components, and were made to work well together... If you already have the AE, I'd say go with the pair... The AE is a nice unit... (m.)

Depends on what you mean "pair" this amplifier has normal RCA audio inputs (red and white wire) which is standard for almost all amplifiers.So in order to connect this amplifier to your computer (which I have done) you need to get a 3.5mm to RCA audio cable (headphone jack to red and white)Having this cable will allow you to use it with anything with a headphone jack.

I have that setup with 2 audio inputs and output to an ampamplifier. It works fine

You can connect it directly, but a pre-amp could help. The sound is pretty clean as is.

Pair. You get to small speakers that connect to a wire that then connects to your audio device

You're impededences are not correct for your speakers and amp. Look online for the wiring diagram. I found it easy. And make sure you are providing a good ground for it.

I haven't set them up yet -- waiting for the remodel to complete. I bought a Sonos Connect:Amp to pair them with -- it's rated at Class-D (2x 55W, 8 ohms). The Sonos Amp is extremely versatile, can't wait to hear it with the Wharfedales. Should be very good. http://www.sonos.com/shop/products/connectamp

look at your manual and see if they are you audio output.if so plug it in there.

Make sure it has the same audio cable builtin with it. If the specs are the same get the cheaper one. I think it might b a lower guage wire used in the cheaper 1. The cheaper 1 might use 18 guage wire vs 16 guage in the more expensive cable

I haven't encountered anything that it won't work with. Whenever I use it I just make it the default audio device

you will need a preamp or a reciever with preamp outputs...its a nice unit for the money, it does have a power gain control on the back of the unit if you are pairing it with another amp..good luck

Here is one way wire the sub to 4 ohms then connect to your speaker inputs hope this helps you out I got 2 of them hooked up to a lepai 2020a+ and still does damage

Using the Energy ESW-8HG 8" 200 watt Take Classic subwoofer - just because I like to pair things if I can, sounds very good overall.Enjoy
