Did they up the price since your post? It's marked at 279€ for me now on their website. Not that it's a big difference but 20€ is a relatively relevant amount, it's the cost of shipping pretty much.

I think they did it during the last 8 hours. It was 259 e when I went to bed thinking "I will order it in the morning". And it was 279 e when I woke up... :)

I have just taken delivery of my Mimby. It is fantastic and can hold its fort vs my Yggy at the initial listen. The Mimby will be a big hit and send shockwave to the industry. Thank you Jason and everyone at Schiit for putting the R2R multibit sound in such a tiny footprint and at a crazy price.

Ok you do realize you just made everyone start salivating while we wait to get ours right?  SO unfair =P.   I ordered the mimby and the magni 2, i was thinking of getting the asgard 2 hopefully the magni 2 is good enough. 
 
Also could you give us a more detailed comparison of the two i am curious and i am sure everyone else is as to how close the mimby is to the yggy.

Here's a picture of my Mimby wall wart.

Just to clarify, because there seemed to be some concern over the quality of the wall wart. It is the standard wall wart for many of their products, and its quality is quite good. It is used for:
 
  1. Magni
  2. Magni 2
  3. Vali
  4. Modi 2 Uber
  5. Modi Optical
  6. Mani
 
Things like the Vali 2 and Magni 2 Uber use a different wall wart. Apparently the Wyrd also does something slightly different.

Did you get the Magni or Magni 2 Uber? Size can be deceiving, the Magni 2 Uber is a great little Amp. It all depends on what kind of cans you are driving. The Asgard is Class A while the Magni 2's are Class A/B so there is difference in architecture and that huge power supply and Caps in the asgard which should help with power hungry cans . If you look at the Max power of both Magni's, Both Magni's can hold their own.

I got the magni 2 uber so i could hook up my desktop speakers.  Its not hte power i was concerned about but the magni's sound signature.  Is it neutral, warm or bright?   I would perfer a neutral or slightly warm as i dont like bright.  I was thinking of getting the asgard 2 because i have heard people say its warmer sounding.   Just afraid that the magni 2 might be bright for me but we will find out.  I dont like bright headphones or amps gives me headaches.

Here's a photo of my Wyrd wall wart.
 
 

 
TBH, I have no concern over the quality or performance of the Mimby or Wyrd wall warts.They are totally silent and do their job well so far. 
 
In contrast <and I am going off topic from Schiit to rant>, I have an iPOWER linear wall wart that causes buzzing to my iFi iCan Micro SE amp. It buzzes with both IEM and high impedance headphone like HD800S. It buzzes when I touch the bass/3D switches on the front panel of the amp. It buzzes so contagiously that my Violectric V181 picks up the buzzing when plugged to the same power strip as the iPOWER wart. And you know what? After I swap the iPOWER with a Western Digital external HDD power wart and the buzz disappears completely from the iCan Micro SE amp. <end of rant>

In my opinion my Magni 2Ü leans toward neutral/bright but less edgy sounding than the original Magni. I don't consider this a bad thing as I like detail. On the other hand I find the Vali 2 a little warmer than the Magni. I prefer the Vali 2 because it's more versatile in that you can tailor the sound by rolling tubes. Although the Magni 2Ü is a bit more powerful than the Vali 2, both have plenty of power and have no difficulty driving my HD650 and HE500.
