What's the advantage?

Run much cooler

Anyone who's maybe upgrading and looking to sell one of these, please feel free to pm me. I'd love to hear one of these.

That would explain a lot haha. That blueray player is not an audiophile peice and it's not surprise that the Mimby is night and day better and more realistic.

Heavier = cooler = better? I did not know that.

Has anyone paired the Mimby with an O2? I'm thinking of doing just that since the Jot is out of stock for atleast another month and I don't presently have any balanced cables for my headphones.

Potentially huge upgrade depending on your headphones and amp. The d03k is great for the money, but if the rest of the chain is good, you'll be brought from a digital to musical presentation. The difference for some of my headphones has been drastic, but not as drastic as with others. Time is a really good judge though. Even if big improvements are not immediately apparent for you, I do think you start to pick up on them as you do a lot more listening. Quick a/b tests don't always work for judging sonic improvements.

But at the end of the day, I'll never go back to a d03k. Mimby has brought my system to the next level and is absolutely worth it over modi 2 uber even.

Enjoy!

 
Thanks! I heard that I will need to keep the Mimby warm for at least 24 hours to see its full effects too. My audio chain is decent at least, just that the tube amp may bottle neck a bit... Either way, looks like I will be enjoying it once it reaches me next week!

Multibit DACs are in particular happier sounding once warm.

I have not heard the O2 but the Jotunheim is absolutely worth waiting a month for. It also has far more future flexibility than the O2.

What about Bimby? I've left mine on 24/7 for about a year now but it doesn't feel warm at all. Not like my Mimby which definitely is warm by comparison.

Thanks! Just wondering, will it be ok to directly stack a tube amp (e.g. Garage1217 Project Ember) on top of a Mimby and let the amp warm the Mimby? Or should I build/buy a simple audio rack for this purpose? (My table is running out of space, hence if I can stack, why not?)

Welp, Mimby is on the way.  Recently got one of the last Jots they had in stock, have enjoyed it so far and toyed around with the notion of getting a Mimby so I can sell my M9xx, and finally pulled the trigger.  Sometimes I really loathe this hobby, way to easy to spend money without really planning on it.

On the bright side, the Mimby/Jot combo is probably the best value deal in headphone audio, especially if you have a balanced HD650 to plug into it. The bang for buck really doesn't get much better. It's only senseless mid-fi sidegrades you need to watch out for.

I hear that. I was looking at a DAC upgrade last month and decided on the Mimby and posted a few wanted classifieds to see if a used one would pop up, I ended up buying a Micromega MyDAC and was pretty pleased with it but I forgot to close my ad and a few days later got offered a Mimby for a great price. Wasn't planning on that added expense but oh well.
