Thank you Jake as that is a great answer to my question. I'm still learning amongst all of the other things in life that seem to be tugging for my attention. I'm being pulled 8 ways to Sunday and trying to focus on learning the ins and outs of audio is a struggle. Hope this isn't out of...

Thanks so much Mickey. I've read your offering a few times and your words make sense to me. Do you call yourself a Roman now........has an ancient ring to it. Watch out for the Gladius. Salute

Thank you Martin From a fellow Kanadastan. The true north strong but no longer free!!!

Thanks Mickey: Could you field this question for me relating to the R26 and U2 Pro in regards to me just using my U2 Pro's coax instead of it's i2s which I cannot use. Do you believe that the sonics would be diminished if I went this route, in your opinion? Do you believe that the i2s is...

Can some chime in and let me know about the Gustard's i2s? Is it's compatibility so exclusive as to be deemed almost proprietary. Can someone tell me other than a Gustard DDC connected to the R26, what other company's pieces (interface, DDC) have you had success with connecting via i2s...

Hello Jake2: I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so forgive me if I don't "savvy" your reference to me.😵‍💫 I believe you might be suggesting (and I could be assuming wrongly) that I invest in a better interface and of coarse you'd be right. But, here's the rub, I'm a little bit...

Thank you for responding to my query Dacwizard. Appreciate it!👽 I may not be greatly adept to the pin issue without more investigation which you have referred me to but, what do you say about me just going simple and using my U2 Pro's coax instead of it's i2s which I won't be able to achieve...

Hello::slight_smile: Going through this thread - extensive. I'm very interested in purchasing the R26 and I have a query regarding its i2s port. I have the Douk Audio U2 Pro (poor man's DDC) connected from my PC with an LPS going into the U2 Pro via the DC 5V port. I was using the U2 Pro's...

I'm making a decision between purchasing the MMB2 and the Bifrost 2/64. If there are any members that have listening experience with both, I'd relish the sonic differences that you heard between the two. I run a 2 channel system: computer > dac > integrated. Thanks:slight_smile:

Thanks Adias: I think I'll go that way.

Thanks Adias: Would you say that one of them has a "warmer signature" than the other? Would you be able to give me a couple of attributes "in your opinion" of what would give the MMB2 the sonic edge? Thanks

Greetings: I'm about to pull the switch on purchasing an MMB2, but have been reading through this thread and have discovered some very redeeming comments regarding the Modi+. I would really appreciate those members who have heard both to describe their sonic findings with each of these...

Hello: Please let us know when and if you find a solution to the issue that you are having with your Windows 11 and MMB2.:sweat: Very interested. Thanks:relieved:

Thanks Runrun. It sounds like the MMB2 is the cat's pajamas in this price range and more. My country's currency is getting stronger so I might save a few doll hairs on my purchase. Enjoy the music!!:relieved:

Hello Runrun: Was just wondering: are you still loving your MMB2? Would you say that this little piece "is that good" and therefore represents the end of your search for a long while? Have you had any hiccups with your unit? Thanks You also like jazz - here's a little sugar for you: Imagine...

Hello Artur: "He" does find much equipment to have good ratings also (some Schiit stuff included), not just negative ones. I would think that after this long in giving measurements, that if his method was completely wrong, he would have rectified himself so as not to appear the fool in front...

Thank you emorrison. I'm still doing some product research and still working on finding a nice integrated amplifier. Was looking at the Hegel H95 but was taken aback when I ran into the "Audio Science Review" of this product. All of the measurements from the tech were really ugly. I know...

Thanks Alex.

Hello adydula. Silly question maybe, but can you tell me if your iFi Can Pro Signature amp is headphone only, or, can it do 2 channel also? If so, how much $$$ do they cost? It looks like the Soekris is sold out in NA. Thanks.

Thanks Hyde for all of the above. Really, really appreciate it................eh!

Sensitive ears are both a blessing and a curse. You are correct, those suggestions look like they drip money - you are lucky to have them.

Thanks artur - all good information. Now I know that I do not have to have balanced and many times it is an extra cost to the unit. Just as an aside, I'm seriously looking at the Rega Brio all analogue for my new amp. I've heard so many good things about it, but at the same time, the more I...

Hello Hyde: Hope all is well. Thanks again for your efforts in offering up so much information for me. Appreciated. Are you ready for the barrage? Don't faint on me now - well here goes............... Can you tell me why you sold your MMB2 (R2R)? Was it not warm enough in your opinion? I...

Thanks very much Hyde for your reply. You gave me a lot to chew on and a lot of valuable information due to your experience. I have been looking at CAM for some deals. It would be great to have two different sounding dacs (each having a desired signature) to switch back and forth depending on...

Could anyone speak to the following Dacs as being a good contender to the MMB2 or maybe even having the edge on the Schiit? I'm looking at these as a possible choice. They are priced around the same as the MMB2 to get to Canada from California (roughly)- exchange and shipping. AK4499 Thanks...
