All this bimby-mimby comparison and I haven't seen a mention of the bimby's power supply.  That's the big selling point to me.  Although $599 was more than I was ready to invest in a DAC, hence I'm a mimby owner.  To quote Mr. Stoddard in 2016 Chapter 10 of the Schiit Book:

You're  You're going to love it...I'm using the 1amp with mimby and hd650.  Let me know how you like the LCD2 with c2, planar cans will probably be my next purchase.

Nope.  The gumby is more than I'd invest in a DAC.  If schiit ever did a multibit balanced bifrost for ~$750 or less I'd consider upgrading.  I just got a balanced amp because I needed balanced preamp outs for powered monitors.

I've had my mimby for around a week now, and I must say it pairs amazingly well with audio-gd nfb-1amp.  I listen to mostly dark electronic music, and the sound signature of this setup compliments it really well.  Out of character for me but I spent several hours this week listening to classical...

I've been going back and forth between my motherboard's onboard optical and USB.  I want to try coax.  Would I be better off using a Singxer F1, or a Xonar Essence STX II pcie card with coax spdif? I would think the pcie card since I'd be cutting out the USB?

The setting button controls the phase of the output signal.  Pushed in is inverted phase.

You mean...you prefer the ladder?  

I don't know about Manhattan being related to 'mood-based listening'... But I believe that you found Dr. Alphabet

That makes sense, it just flew over my head as I normally associate winter with Q4.

So this page says the M1060 is coming 'Winter 2017', and this page says 'ETA: 2/9/2017' any idea which is accurate?

I do most of my listening on Tidal right now, but I managed to solve my popping issue last night by installing VB-Audio ASIO bridge and asio4all, was then able to set latency in asio bridge.  No more popping :)

If you can find your second remote and are willing to send it my way, let me know.  I'd be happy to pay the shipping.   the response I got from Kingwa:    

Heh, much appreciated.  I emailed kingwa so I'll let you know if he gives me a hard time.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot when I get home from work.

Are you using asio4all?

I keep forgetting to ask: is NFB-1AMP supposed to include a remote (plastic one)?  Received mine last week with no remote.  Not really a big deal, just curious.  I'm not even sure if I care enough to bother kingwa about it.

I received my Mimby yesterday, I started by connecting via optical to my motherboard.  It seemed to work fine with 24/192, but I noticed a popping sound when I started a song or when I skipped to different parts of the track.  Every time the audio started again there would be a pop/crackle.  I...

My Modi Multibit shipped today, so that'll be replacing the NFB-12, and I ordered a balanced HD650 cable from mimic-cables a little over 2 weeks ago so that should be shipping soon as well.  As soon as I get everything and have time for some serious listening I'll make a post with more detailed...

Just ordered my Mimby.  Will be pairing it with Audio-GD NFB-1AMP and Senn HD 650.  I just got my NFB-1AMP in the mail yesterday and got impatient so went ahead and ordered the mimby.  Currently using my old audiogd NFB-12 as a dac (dual Wolfson 8741), and am hoping to hear a solid improvement...

Received my NFB-1Amp yesterday, really dwarfs my old NFB-12!  Still waiting on the balanced cable for my HD 650 so only enjoying half of it's power, and using the NFB-12 as a dac temporarily.  That being said, initial impressions are favorable :)

Not exactly an audiophile setup but posting anyways :)

My NFB-1AMP is arriving in a day or two and I'm getting ready to order a mimby, wanted to order a nice cable (sub-$100 nice, not head-fi nice) to go along with it.  What would be the best way to connect it to my motherboard, Optical or USB?  I have this motherboard.   Edit: Or some sort of...

Was planning on ordering a modi multibit to pair with my on-its-way-to-me NFB-1AMP, might have to wait until I hear impressions on the Singularity-19 as this is closer to my budget than other AGD DACs

Make sure you're getting the auto-reply email from Audio-GD, if you're not you should try a different email address.  I just went though this, took me a week to figure out my email weren't getting through to them.
