    [2021 Update] Venture Electronics (VE) Monk V2, Monk Plus & Monk Go: a $5 earbud that taking the world by storm!!!

    Any word or review on the Monk Omega? It's a big jump up in price at $50. What's so special about the Monk Omega for that price premium?

      When you were using USB, was the source a PC/notebook?

      I have an older Asus P7P55D mobo, which has a SPDIF output. This uses the VIA HD audio chipset.   I needed to enable the SPDIF output using the VIA HD Audio Deck utility. Once enabled the SPDIF output is concurrent with the regular 3.5mm audio jack in the rear panel and front panel. In this...

      I used an IR thermometer to measure the top of my Mimby. It was 43C. Ambient temp is about 29C.

      I, and a few other users, also faced this problem. Anyway, I managed to solve it - in the device manager, go and update the driver for it and then get Windows to search for the driver. In my case Windows found a driver and installed it.

      Unfortunately, with KS I'm getting the occasional click/pop.   I've now installed ASIO4ALL, which is working fine without the clicks/pops as long as I have sufficient buffer size.

      Thanks for the tip about the kernel streaming component for Foobar. I've installed it.

      I use foobar2000 and these are the output options I get. Which one would be the wasapi output device (if there is one)?     Update: did some reading. Seems that XP does not support wasapi (Vista and above only).

      I'm puzzled why your method doesn't work in XP.   Anyway, I managed to resolve it by getting Windows to search for the driver and it found it. Now my Mimby is working and shows up in the device manager.   I'm now just curious if the driver that Windows found is the latest one (same as in...

      Looks like you may have a faulty Modi Multibit. These things happen (albeit rare) and that's why there is a manufacturer's warranty to back you up. In that regard, Schitt stands behind their warranty and I'm sure they will take care of you.   I don't think it's fair to label Rev A as a...

      Thanks for the suggestion. I followed your steps and located CMAUCWO.inf   But when opening it I get the error message "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware". I read this thread some more and found this in post #61:     Does the above have a bearing...

      Got my Mimby today and am facing driver installation problems on Win XP.   I also get the "Please connect the CMEDIA USB2.0 Audio Device" message. Click the "OK" a few times, get the same message and finally the install will abort saying "CMEDIA USB2.0 Audio Device does not exist, the...

      I've often read that Schiit's filter works best with 16/44.1 music (as you've mentioned above).   I take it this means that the filter isn't so magical with high bitrate files or other non-Redbook music? So in the case of such files, how well does Mimby compare to other D-S DACs?

    Regarding samples rates, it says on the website: "Modi 2 Multibit: 16/44.1 to 24/192 via USB. 16/44.1 to 24/192 via Toslink* and Coax, with 24/176 and 24/192 being NOS (non-oversampled)"   The non-oversampled part only applies to 24/176 and 24/192 over Toslink and Coax right? Doesn't apply to...
