Wow, ok, well I have to acknowledge your own experiences there, they have never been mine. As I've described before, that system with QP1R running optical out and the Ref1s is superb. I have to admit too that the Slinkylinks silver ICs are sublimely good and it does make a difference even when using the R2R as a DAC into the Magni 3, utterly grainless, balanced from top two bottom with nary a trace of edge unless the recording is truly horrible and in which case it's out the door with it. The beauty of it is that I can still hear the humanity behind the obviously flawed recording.I didn't own one but listened to it extensively at the Schiitr a few times. I found the Mimbys really accentuate cymbals and higher frequencies in comparison to other DACs. (I was actually auditioning the Magni 3 at the time -- I hated the Mimby/Magni pair so I moved the Magni to the Bimby, and it sounded great. The Magni also sounded pretty good with the aforementioned DACs I had tried as well.)
