Probably not the place for this question but what are the main differences between the Modi 2 Uber and Mimby?   The Mimby is double the price of the Modi 2 Uber, is this justified?

Excellent, thank you Sir!

Excuse my ignorance but is the mimby the Modi Multibit?

Thanks that's reassuring to hear! I was thinking I will eventually upgrade the dragonfly to possibly the Modi2 uber, would that be a better DAC than that dragonfly?

Just ordered the Vali 2 yesterday to pair up with my HD650 and K550, I feel like a kid at Christmas waiting. This will be my first amp so looking forward to hearing how it sounds. This is what I plan to do, is this OK? Laptop -> Audioquest Dragonfly 1.2 -> 3.5 to RCA cable -> Vali 2 ->...

Yeah very good!   You may like these...    

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try a few different usb ports to see if it helps. Also I was running off the laptop on battery so will try plug it in to see if that helps too. To be honest I'm kinda intrigued to find out how tube amps sound so I am tempted to get a Schiit Vali 2 or other...

I'm listening through the desktop client. The volume is a at max in Spotify and the laptop. Not sure what else could be different. Maybe the sound card is not great on the laptop?? I do like listening quite loud but with my AKG 550s I would have the volume at about 60-70% and it would be very...

  They have arrived two days early!!!   Listening now on my laptop with Spotify Premium with the Dragonfly 1.2. I will post back after I have had a chance to listen properly but first impressions are good (no surprise there really)   One thing, I have the volume up 100% on the laptop with...

That's reassuring to hear as I own a dragonfly 1.2. I was planning on getting a Fulla 2, would there be any point in your opinion?

Thanks for the advice. I currently have a Dragonfly 1.2, would I be better off just getting an amp to pair up with the Dragonfly such as the Vali 2 or Little Dot or would I get better results with just the Fulla 2? I must add I have limited experience with Dacs and amps and none at all with tube...

What would be your reasons for this?

Thanks mate, the O2 does look to be popular on this forum so it must be good. I'm reading a lot of good things about the Schiit Fulla 2 which many say is as good if not better than the O2/ODAC combo. It's also half the price at 125 euro so I'm leaning towards that at the moment but I won't be...

  Excellent tune!

    Thanks for these, never heard of Made in Heights before, great music   Any others like them? 

I ordered mine the other day from Amazon UK for 275 euro. Cheapest anywhere else in Europe I could see in was 315 euro. Not sure if Amazon are doing a promotion or what but looks like a decent deal to me

Putting portability to one side for the moment, on SQ alone how do the Dragonfly and Fulla 2 compare?

what cables did you get?

Thanks mates, I have been playing around with the idea of getting these for a long time now so its time I pushed the button. It will be interesting to see the difference between my AKG K550s. As you say it will probably take a few weeks to adjust to the sound signature but hopefully they will be...

HD650s have just been ordered. Delivery due January 11th :)

Thanks mate, sure I will have a go with the Dragonfly and see how I get on for a while but yes you are correct there appears to be far better amp/dacs available which will make the HD650s a lot better, I just need to find what suits me best which will be a challenge but I actually enjoy that...

Will the Fulla 2 be a step forward from the Dragonfly? 

  Again that is good to hear as I do not have the HD650s yet (am ordering them in the next two weeks) so I was a bit apprehensive that I would hear a noticeable difference from the AKG K550s but you have just reassured me that I am making the right decision.   Yes as you say and as I have...

  I am currently using the Dragonfly 1.2 with a set of AKG K550s and to me the sound is also very thinny and bright. I am by no means in a position to expand further on the sound characteristics I can hear but for me its not good for long term listening, I find an hour or so and I am glad to...

Thats good to hear as the Fulla 2 is quite cheap at 125 euro so I will definitely read up on this further.   Regarding your point on the Aune X1S and source of material not being good enough, main source of material is Spotify Premium, am I wasting my time looking at mid-range DACs (over 300...
