Its sad looking at people sending bifrost to the manufacture for upgrading. In my country the local seller charge me about 450$ for upgrading Bifrost ak4490 to Multibit
Is it a Yggy or an Yggy?
Sounds like the sound of the mimby will change as it is used. Can I simply leave it on or should I have audio playing through it?
I'd like to try another listening test once it has more hours on it. I did my blind comparison after the mimby was powered on for about 4 days, with maybe a half dozen hours of audio playing through it.
It's a thermal thing for stability in the R2R resistor ladder, nothing to do with audio playing through. Just keep it on.
"The extent to which you can handle the goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop."
It is open to a lot of interpretation but I get your point, I will email Mark @ electromod and see what he has to say.
I just wanted to chime In and let people know that you really should be using TOSLINK with Modi MB. I'm not blowing smoke on unsubstantiated claims. Here are measurements made. The difference between USB and TOSLINK is extreme in some measurements, including jitter; not to mention free galvanic isolation.
Also note that the measurements were made with a decent USB cable (better than freebies) and the TOSLINK measurements were made with a freebie cable. Using an audiophile quality TOSLINK such as Lifatec will only improve things. No I'm not paid or backed by Lifatec or any other optical manufacturers, I was just looking for the best way to send data to my Modi MB and wanted to share it with others because the differences are equivalent to different DACS.
USE TOSLINK.

What is your source? a pc with s/pdif out? if so, how do you configure the s/pdif to bypass the onboard sound? I've got an asus mobo with s/pdif port and I'm planning to buy a modi multibit but not sure how to pair it up with the modi, I'm kinda newbie in s/pdif connection
