    Makes sense... Now about the modi 2 versus the modi multibit should I save for a little bit longer and get the modi multibit or just get the modi 2?

    You should check out the banner near the top of the page before you do anything else and follow the advice there. Then delve into the information already present in existing threads and when you've done that post your music and gear preferences along with a focused question in the appropriate thread.

    The idsd BL has both a nice DAC and amp section. It's certainly a "smoother" presentation than the magni 3. While it's somewhat of a sidegrade, the m3 does lower level detail and sound stage better than the idsd. Both are very good.

    Modi multibit / Modi Multibit. So much better and correct tone compared to Modi 2. Just save up. Get Eitr later on if using USB since the Modi Multibit USB really holds it back. Most people do not need to go beyond this DAC unless they have super high performance amps and headphones. Modi Multibit holds its place in my bedroom rig (using CD transport) and will be doing so for the next few years.

    There really has been a deluge of new accounts posting "should I buy this or this" recently. While I will be the first to admit I do on occasion ask questions like this I see now that this may be mildly irritating to the members who have answered these questions (quite recently) over and over and over again.

    Maybe there could be a 1 week cooling off period where posting is disabled straight after account creation?

    Right click on sound settings and make sure the "Better" slider is all the way to 11.

    I use jriver. Is there actually a difference in SQ on windows 10?
    Heard the direct mode in windows 8 and earlier used to be bad. I'm using Windows 10 (GO V2+ as a dac, magni 2 as amp or GO V2+ as dac/amp), tried ASIO or WASAPI, wasn't able to perceive any immediate difference (didn't do much critical listening).

    For some reason, finding it problematic in ASIO or WASAPI mode, where in I have to replug the device to make it work outside the jriver for some reason. (have installed the drivers properly).
