send tech at Schiit a email...they have good support

Terrible support as usual, they just don't care. Last time I complained about huge DC offset on Fulla2's HO in the 16mV region and they told me that it's normal

Now their advice is to install ASIO4ALL, I might as well call my 10yo nephew for this level of technical expertise.

I've had the same experience with the drivers as well, but just stuck with the alternate 1.03 driver because it still seems to work and sound great.

Thanks for the confirmation, if a few hundred people whine about their 1.16 W7 drivers that refuse to install with Mimby, maybe they'll do something about it

Lucky me I also got a Uber so I can install the 1.16 drivers and get native ASIO with Mimby, as usual when bang/bucks is stellar support is extremely poor. I would certainly never buy anything costing more than $250 with such schiit support.

I've had nothing but good experience with schiit support and from what I've seen following the many different schiit threads for several years is that good support is the norm and bad experiences seem quite rare.

Schitt has reasonably good tech support. It's not the best support in the world but it's certainly not "terrible".

..as for people not hearing any difference between Mimby & Modi 2 Uber, it's never too late to switch hobbies I guess

No. Those people will need to spend a lot less on this hobby than those of us that have, or think we have, more golden ears. I wish I heard no difference between my Mimby and Yggdrasil!

Once you've gone Mimby there's no going back IME, case closed and gg to the team

I didn't find any appreciable difference between the mimby or modi 2U....not sure that constitutes switching hobbies as I'm quite content with my analog system.

And from looking up your posting history, that's with LCD-2, HE-560 and Magni 2 Uber? Tried other headamps? And you were feeding FLAC via ASIO/WASAPI?

I'll give you that I ran my shoot-out with better PSU's both for the DAC itself & USB chip.

 

[leeperry]

so any chance for a Gen5 Mimby anytime soon? Or is that enough cannibalizing for now?

I game a lot as well as listen to music..would the mimby cause and weird latency issues for gaming? I saw a reddit post with a bunch of math on it but I tend to take most stuff I read on the internet with a grain of salt especially reddit.....so I feel like it's probably BS.

There's no noticeable lag or delay in audio from my Mimby using coax, usb or toslink while gaming, listening to music or watching videos. I am extremely sensitive to audio delays so I feel confident saying its not a problem.

 

[leeperry]

if you're an input lag nutcase with a lag-free CRT video display you might be annoyed by the USB latency but that would hardly be one or two frames at 60fps I think, for what it's worth movies lipsync is fine with a 28ms input lag Samsung TV in non-game mode.

 

[loki993]

I play a ton of FPS games so I can be a bit of a nutcase about lag yeah lol..but also no I don't get super crazy about it...like no I don't use a CRT, thats crazy. I would assume the USB lag from something like a minby should be similar to any other USB device id be using right? If so I'm not going to notice it. Right now I use a JDS element, sort of regretting that as of late, via USB and I have no perceptible lag issues.

Like I said I figured it was BS. Im sure the guy saw some numbers and made a ton of assumptions about stuff he really knows nothing about.

These are the blessed ones seriously! Imagine having the funds to spend or something else!
