Yeah… hold onto all original packaging, too. Makes re-selling much more profitable.
If you are interested in DIY… go to Ali or eBay and get a stuffed DAC board. Much cheaper… and unmodded sonics not far from Schiit. And then when you do mod …. Whoa Nelly …. unnnnnnnnnnnggggggghhhhhhhh! Pass the TP puhleeze…

I sold one Modi multibit once and soon discovered that I had made a mistake. Modi multibit number two is staying. I use my Mimby with an Audiolab transport and Asgard 3 headphone amp. My headphones are Focal Clear Pros. The synergy of these components keep me more than happy. I do have a Modius and Modi 3+ that I might sell some day. Shipped in the original boxes!

Thanks … but you can’t link THAT place from H-F. Years ago mods here warned me — and amended my post — when yours truly mentioned the Super. It may have been Changstar at the time. Don’t recall.
In any kase…
H-F modz: puhleeeeeze korekt moi if I’m rong

I will remove it, but that is just utter crap if true!

It's kind of creepy to think every post past that banned link, including mine, will shortly be extinct to history.

About that op-amp "upgrade" .... weird that so many are on the bandwagon for THAT Texas Instr. device. It is a cheaper opa than what Schiit uses as OEM.
The thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang about DIY is that many nooooooooooobs to the hobby get trapped by the "Sunk Cost / Sunk Effort Fallacy" and will foeva swear by all the sweat and tears they've put into the project. OF COURSE IT HAS TO SOUND BETTER.
There are a few opamp-swap thread here on head-fi ... in the DIY sub-forum .... and these discussion have been going on since Jooooooooooooooooode invented this forum two decades ago.

I am not sure what you are saying exactly. Just because a part is more or less expensive does not mean anything. The 1656 opamp replacement is IMO of course, a distinct upgrade and removes some of the warmth/density that the modi MB has always had. Kind of wakes it up in a sense.

Of course YMMV and all that.

I am the el cheapo of all audiophiles. BUT..................... Statistically ... you usually get what you pay for. Because both the OEM and DIY opa's are not the <$1.00 jellybean variety, and not THAT dissimilar $$, so my bets on the perceived improvement are still set on the "sunk cost" brain effect coloring y'all modders' mindz.
My Modi MB -- purch'd July 2020 ??? --was put into storage only a few days after use.
Yes, I did "mod" one aspect of it ...

The best way to improve the sonics w/o opening the damn thang up.

Why does the Modi Multibit cost 319€ on Schiit Europe whereas in older reviews there is talking of 250€?
Edit: nvm on Schiit.com it costs 250 Dollars.

If you want a new Modi multibit it might take you up to 20 weeks to get it delivered.

I just bought a Modi Multibit, maybe i will compare to Resonessence Concero if theres a difference that is, when i get it.
Edit: i've just read that Modi Multibit doesn't support highres files. Can i listen to high res music nonetheless with resampler for foobar for example? How can i listen to 24bit when the Dac supports only 16bit?

Most, if not all, of Schiit's DACs support up to 24 bit / 192 khz. That would be considered hi-res and should work for your purposes.
Anything beyond 24/192, then you'll need to look elsewhere.

Got it, thanks. I don't really need anything beyond 24/192 honestly.

Just a question, how's the USB implementation of the Modi MB or should i use an other input?
