 The weakest link is the supplied power supply i guess, anyone thinking of alternatives power? Ifi DC ipurifier or just a r-core or toroidal transformer LPS that have EMI filter suppressing RFI noise?

For the price of the DAC, I wouldn't spend more than that on a power purifier. DC iPurifier for both Modi and Wyrd should be sufficient IMO.

Yeah, im just sceptical about the supplied power that is " Made in China " where else mimby is USA made.:grin:

OK.  Difference / initial value.  Got it.  Thanks!

You just have to look at your wording, you basically stated it incorrectly given the way you did the calculation.
 
an increase from 1.5 to 2 is a 33% increase (you are going from 1.5 to 2) so you would calculate it the way that Defiant described. 
 
The way that you did the math would be for describing a drop from 2 to 1.5. Which would be a 25% drop.

Did they up the price since your post? It's marked at 279€ for me now on their website. Not that it's a big difference but 20€ is a relatively relevant amount, it's the cost of shipping pretty much.

It appears the supplied Mimby Wall-Wart is supplying the unit with 16 volts of AC and the conversion to DC and the regulation of the DC all happens inside Mimby.

If that is correct, I think you have little to worry about from the supplied Wall-Wart...

:p

M-Modi was on my porch yesterday when I got home from work!

Listened last night on the computer with headphones.

Impressed.

Stayed up too late distracted by the music......

Today after it had been on for 24 hours I listened to it on the living room system.

More impressed.

Cons: #poorproductivity

Fedex just delivered my Schiit. Initial impression is unbelievable - warm R2R sound out of that tiny Modi chasis. Bass is punchy. Speed and timing are good. Compared Yggy, the immediate thing that stood out was the reduced resolution but hey for about 1/10 of the price, I grinned my approval for the Mimby at 0.1h. Best USD249 spent on Head-fi stuff for me in 2016! 
 
Burning/warming up now. Will share impression when the set is warmed up at 12h.
