Isn't the purpose of multibit r2r dacs so that you don't oversample? Isn't their burrito filter a 1-1 bit perfect deal?
Hi All, first post after being a member for years. I'd like to vent a little Schiit woes.
Last Tuesday I finally ordered with enthusiastically and expectantly ordered, for the first time, a Schiit Modi Mulitbit and the Magni Uber. I should have known something might go wrong when the order confirmation email and the shipping email was only 30 minutes apart. Today the box arrives, on time from FedEx, only to contain a MODI UBER and the expected Magni Uber. The kind Laura Z at Schiit has RMAed an return/exchange and the Modi Uber goes back tomorrow.
Has anyone else been sent or heard of this shipping mix up before?

Negative. The burrito filter is for oversampling. But it's a "closed form" solution, so the original samples are preserved. A multibit DAC avoids the conversion from PCM that occurs in delta-sigma modulated DACs, which again ensures that original samples are preserved. That's my current understanding, anyway.

I earlier returned the Modi Uber via FedEx back to Schiit. Within 10 minutes of notifying Schiit I got back a shipping email. Should be here by next Monday or Tuesday, FedEx hasn't updated yet.

Has anybody compared the Mimby to the Emotiva DC-1?
I am currently using the DC-1, and I find nothing really lacking, but having a low cost multi-bit option makes me want to see what all the fuss is about. I am just not 100% convinced that I shouldn't save my pennies and step up to a Gumby or (preferably) a Yggy. However, either of these would be a LONG way off for me.
Do you all think the Mimby would be an upgrade to the Emotiva DC-1, or equally good, but simply a different representation of the music?
