    I did a similar thing with my Vali 2:

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I felt the same about the Allo Digione acrylic case - I ended up getting a HighPi Pro case with universal port and modifying the opening to fit the connectors.

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    My Modi Multibit does this on coax and optical every once in a while. My solution is to plug it into an APC power strip so it powers on when I switch on my Freya S, which is plugged into the master outlet.

    I recommend the bigger hole - it makes it so much easier to plug 6SN7 and 7N7 adapters straight into the socket. I did mine with a dremel tool and a lot of patience.

    I can't attend, but I would love to read about a shootout / comparison of Tyr vs. the XPA HC-1. I'm in the market for monoblocks to power my Magnepan 1.7i speakers.

    Happy as a Pig in Schiit: Introducing Modi Multibit

    I had to turn off/turn on my Modi Multibit last night - it had the left channel high pitch buzzing symptom, which I only figured out when l was listening with headphones. I had noticed it previously with speakers, but at the time forgot that sometimes this DAC gets confused and needs a reset...

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I guess I'm in the minority, as I still listen to the radio occasionally at home. Mainly for public radio and local football play-by-play instead of the TV announcers. Side note - I've wondered if Schiit ever considered doing an HD Radio tuner - there aren't a lot of options out there for such...

    What a long, strange trip it's been -- (Robert Hunter)

    I'll continue using Modi Multibit until the Yggdrasil or Gungnir get remote control and Autonomy. Sounds like they have higher priorities to work on than upgrading their high-end DACs.

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I went with the Allo Digione Player in the acrylic case for a no tinkering RPi experience. It came with Volumio, which was okay, but recently I switched to MoodeAudio software and I like it much better.

    Ha, someone else beat me to that frakentube - too slow on my part. :) In other news, I can confirm that the ebay xulingmrs 7N7 to ECC88 6922 6CG7 adapter works just fine in the Vali 2, though a socket saver is required unless you have enlarged the hole in the metal cover as I have done.

    Could the power supply be located on the bottom of the stack, or does it run too hot?

    Official Schiit Vali 2 Thread

    Added a fat volume knob some time ago and recently moved Vali 2 to my Mac Mini with a Modi Optical. The preamp output is going straight into passive computer speakers with an RCA to 3.5mm adapter. Someday I'll get around to adding an amp and speakers. Love having the big volume knob - so much...

    Gilmore Lite Amp Owners Unite!

    I would love to see the 5V USB output if it could be used to power a raspberry pi based source. (Allo Digione Player in my case) I just recently received the Gilmore Lite mk2 and I am enjoying it very much with HD600. I am noticing more depth and clarity in the music.

    Hello Dan, I purchased Ether Flow from you at AXPONA 2018. I don't have an order number, just a PayPal email receipt. How can I sign up? EDIT: Never mind, I submitted via the guest option and it seemed to go through.

    Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

    I use my TV's optical digital audio output to convert HDMI sources (AppleTV, Roku) into SPDIF which then goes to a Modi Multibit. The TV has a setting to always output PCM stereo and not Dolby digital.

    Vali 2 tube rolling

    These are just some random Sylvania's I got from eBay - not sure what year they were made, and they are slightly different construction from each other. I have some RCA tubes on the way, both are supposed to be from '52. The separation seems a little better than the new Tung-Sol 6SN7 tube I...

    Dual 7A4 adapter arrived sooner than expected. Haven't had much time to listen, but it doesn't sound bad. Not sure if it's a huge improvement over the 6SN7.

    I'm curious, too - with all the previous comments about separation and soundstage improvement. I'm expecting the adapter to show up in mid-July - tracking shows it's still in China.

    Vali 2 tube rolling

    I bought the Vali 2 b-stock for $99. First added the GE 5670W + adapter (~$20), then recently the Tung-Sol 6SN7 + adapter (~$40). Currently awaiting delivery of Sylvania 7A4 XXL's + adapter (~$75). Doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
