Modi Multibit: Multibit for the masses.

I've never considered Modi Multibit warm or at least not warm enough to color a good pair of headphones. I imagine that Modi Multibit + Atticus + Jotunheim would be very pleasing in terms of sound quality. If it was me I would probably spend the extra for a Bifrost Multibit just because it's upgradeable (and their are rumors of an upgrade for Bifrost Multibit in the works already) and would stack perfectly with the Jotunheim being in the same size chassis.

 

Lynx e22, singxer su1 or mutec mc3+ as best transport for schiit mutlibit dacs?

 

Ymmv but in terms of the singxer I actually found it as a downgrade from the Gungnir Multibit usb gen 2 (was connected via bnc) . Chifi garbage imo, muddied the sound if anything

 

The SU-1 is useful as a way to get multiple output connections on different connections (in sync/parallel), but unless I needed that, or wanted a reasonable way to get an I2S output, it would not be my first choice for anything else.

With Yggdrasil and Gungnir, as long as your source is not lighting up the clock-mode LED (aka "buy better gear light"), all you might need to be concerned about is maintaining electrical isolation. And that's more dependent on how noisy your source is than anything else.

 

Patience.

 

This. I was pretty shocked when I switched back to the Gungnir Multibit gen 2 after a couple weeks use of the singxer. There just seemed to be slightly more clarity, the singxer added a slight haze to everything for me.

Patiently waiting for the shit eitr to come out will be buying day one to test it out.

For anyone interested my chain is:

USB gen2> Gungnir Multibit> freya> Genelec 8030b
>jot>hd800s

 

shit eitr

is their new Schiit come out soon?
should I wait to get a good transport or wait to see what new dac comes out from schiit? im confused

 

No rumors about new DACs at this time.

I'd buy the DAC you're after first and worry about what interface to use once you have some time in with it.

With what's been hinted at with Eitr, patience here is likely to be rewarded.

 

you mean the yggdrassil or the mosaic uv?

 

I mean whichever DAC it is that you want most.

If you buy the Mosaic UV you're going to be forced to use USB. Which, if all the waffle about how its USB input is implemented is justified then it may not need anything else in the chain. But even if you go with Yggdrasil, I'd just use it as it comes and not worry about other interfaces right now. Unless you have a desire to run it over your network etc. in which case I'm an Aries fan via AES/EBU XLR.

 

How about a shoot out? (Besides Torq if he gets one to audition)

 

fffffff it, ill get both Mosaic and yggdrassil. im sure both setup will offer different presentation that will be welcome!
for the yggdrasil, I have the breeze du u8, but I think Id likely want to upgrade the breeze eventually...

damn, just bought a schiit modi multibit and yggdrassil in one day

 

Why the modi multibit? Bedroom or work rig?

 

girlfriend

 

Why waste money on ur gd, i'd hide this hobby from her at all costs lmao

 

Modi Multibit is far too veiled for an Atticus to my preferences.

 

You should have a drink with @Psalmanazar.

 

If I'm agreeing with Psal, it must be serious.

I do owe him a drink, one of these day.
