Happy as a Pig in Schiit: Introducing Modi Multibit

[JazzVinyl]

Opened wallet, ordered Bimby

I dont care what Mike or Jason are calling it - to me it's 'Moby'. The other names are silly enough - it doesnt need an 'm' for people to what people are referring to.

+1 for Moby.
 
Though, I like the spelling Mobi. Makes me want to add a 'T' to finish off the bit in multibit: Mobit

Ordered!

I call it Mimby - no right or wrong.  Call it What you want.  No bad feelings taken.

Modi Multibit sounds awesome, but is it going to be in stock soon at Schiit-EU site?

You mean on this Schiit-Eu site - http://schiit.eu.com/dacs/modi-multibit or on schiit-europe.com?

As far as I am aware schiit.eu.com is the offical seller for Schiit in Europe, it is run by Mark who is the UK Schiit dealer.

 

[conquerator2]

schiit-europe.com is also. That one is run by Sonority, likewise an official dealer

I'm returning my modi 2 uber and just bought the modi multibit.  I'm such a sucker for hype.

Hi guys. I just finished up a post in regards to a factory tour that I was on at Schiit Audio a couple of weeks ago. There are no impressions, but if you are interested in seeing the inner working of Schiit, you can go there.

Great post ejong. Always interested to hear more Schiit about Schiit. Though reading about Jason's highly trained ninjas makes me wonder. Does he hire them or does he have his own personal henchman training camp like any good Bond villain.

Did not know about this one.Was talking about the schiit-europe site yeah.Not sure if i can buy in euro from the schiit-eu though,so i think i will try my luck at schiit--europe.

So since this thing has what looks to be the same basic setup as the Bifrost multi bit will it have similar sound quality but just without upgradeability and without an internal power supply? 

Also how do you feel this would compare to a Grace M9xx? A Modi multibit with the magni uber would be $400 while the grace is $500.

Oh boy my head is spinning, googled multibit dac and it went into resistors and numbers and all sorts of crazy stuff.  But it seems like there are a number of issues that multibit has, linearity problems, zero crossing problems and changes in performance when temperatures change.
 
Not sure what that all means though the temperature issue intrigues me though as the room i listen to can get pretty warm at times....damned high end pc =P

The solution for temperature is rather straightforward - run the DAC continuously, and the temperature will be super-stable.

As for resistor precision - that is what makes the R2R DAC chips really expensive
