Still using Asgard 2 and the first generation modi. Thinking of upgrading the dac to replace the modi first gen. Any recommendations?

If you still want to upgrade your dac. I can say the modi multibit v2 is incredible (the first / early version is not so much). But you will not ( or very difficult) hear any difference between dacs with the Asgard 2
I don't know if it is about firmware or hardware related. I bought the Modi Multibit right after it was released. I used it for a few years. Then i bought a new v2 Modi Multibit and a Modi 3 in late 2019 just because of my curiosity.Modi Multibit is indeed very good, I have the v1 Modi Multibit upgraded with the new v2 firmware. It is possible to order an upgrade chip if you ask Schiit about it even though it’s not listed on their site. I asked to have it added when I ordered a few other items.
Anyway, having swapped the old firmware to the new and reassembling the Modi M I didn’t think I heard very much of a difference (if any at all). YMMV of course. This was with a Magni3 as amp, I don’t have Asgard2 so I can’t comment on that.
Unless you are running out of power doubt you will gain much if anything changing the amp but i did find going to a multibit made listening to my music collection more enjoyable.
You can order the firmware upgrade from them (send email) - $30+- and shipping, they send you an 8 pin DIP, you open it and swap it
That's an interesting case. 1 Eitr to 2 DACs. I've never attempted this so I'm speculating about the following.I hope this is okay to re-post here (I posted this in the Help & Recommendation section of the site but haven't gotten any responses as of yet). Please forgive me if it isn't!

I kinda need some help getting these two dacs connected to my single Eitr, using either an RCA Y-splitter cable (that I made sure works fine with coax cables) and / or an RCA switch (for 2-in / 1-out). I've actually had them both hooked up and working before, but for some reason the Mimby hadn't wanted to output actual sound in a couple of weeks and I'm pretty much starting over re-connecting everything to see what might be the issue. Only thing is that it would help a ton of anyone would be kind enough to possibly explain to me how they've connected it all step by step or something similar; even pictures of the back of their Mimby / Eitr / Loki units would be a big help (or anything similar as well). My pc recognizes the Eitr, Mimby, and Airist just fine, and I do know only one can be used at a time and I keep one turned off when using the other. I'd really appreciate any help whatsoever!
The coax between my Eitr and Modi Multibit is a Monoprice Onix as well (not a splitter, just a straight 75 Ohms coax cable). Solid cable for a good price.Thanks for replying, man. Aa far as I know, the RCA Y-splitter cable was made to work with coax. It's the Monoprice Onix Series IIIP Male RCA to 2 Male RCA Pigtail cable; made with RG-6 / U and double braided copper shield. I believe it's got a 75ohm impedance as well. Really well made, and as far as I remember worked well before. Honestly, dealing with this thing has gotten a bit too complicated and has become frustrating as heck lol.
