I am really needing to get the Multibit Lyr 3 and sell my Vali 2 and Modi Multibit.
If you already have the Modi Multibit, it may be better then buying the lyr with internal multibit since you can’t leave it on all the time...unless you want a simple all in one solution.I am really needing to get the Multibit Lyr 3 and sell my Vali 2 and Modi Multibit.
Schiit said the only one they recommend leaving on was the 24/7 is the Yggdrasil so I am not worried about leaving on the other multibits anymore. Although leaving on the others will not degrade them it is not needed.If you already have the Modi Multibit, it may be better then buying the lyr with internal multibit since you can’t leave it on all the time...unless you want a simple all in one solution.
As much as I love the Chord products for their Digital to Analog conversion, their analog section is not great. I agree it is really a very simple analog section to retain transparency. But what they lack is power, macro-dynamics and soundstage. Lyr 3 provides better sub-bass extension, macro-dynamics and stage compared to the Hugo 2. I do lose a touch of transparency and the total dark background once I introduce the Lyr 3 between the Hugo2 and my headphone. But its a tradeoff to get the aspects that only desktop amps can provide.
Thank you for the explanation!
The Mojo is a small, 0.4 lbs portable gadget while the Lyr 3 is a 6 lbs desktop amp. They should be in a different leauge, I just wanted to make sure they really are. I love the idea of the Lyr 3 as a hybrid headamp with an integrated and upgradable DAC!
The dac units between the mojo and multibit compete step by step with each other aslong as dsd and mqa aren’t important to you then it’s basically super small differences in sound quality but both are great, but as an amp, for obvious reasons they can’t be compared, ones portable and ones not. But the total package of the two imo, say when using headphones that both can power to the max with zero issues like a pair of grados, the lyr walks all over the mojo imo.
The mojo sounds like stale bread with fuzzy mold on it compared to the Lyr 3 + a competent source.Thank you for the explanation!

Also the Mimby reportedly sounds better than the Lyr MB card and you can use an Eitr with the Mimby.If you already have the Modi Multibit, it may be better then buying the lyr with internal multibit since you can’t leave it on all the time...
I agree.Also the Mimby reportedly sounds better than the Lyr MB card and you can use an Eitr with the Mimby.
No reason to sell until you are ready for Gumby.
No necesitá usarlo il jot in bilanciato... Scusí per la mia italiano.dove l'hai visto a 580 in italia? proaudio non lo ha ancora a listino e a maggio quando sarà disponibile in italia si suppone costerà quanto costa adesso il lyr2 ossia 490....
comunque il jot io lo eviterei perchè devi usarlo in bilanciato e per ogni cuffia devi poi avere il cavo terminato in bilanciato.. altri soldi
The mimby uses the same multibit dac as the lyr and bifrost.Also the Mimby reportedly sounds better than the Lyr MB card and you can use an Eitr with the Mimby.

Do the LISST tubes give a blacker background compared to the normal tubes?Schiit finally got the lisst tube to me today, and it’s actually not bad from early impressions. I definately don’t like it as much as my top tubes, but it has really good extension and solid bass impact(more so then any of my tubes). But it’s just lacking something that I can’t put my finger on just yet. I don’t hate it, but I’m not In love with it like a few tubes I have. Either way, something to experiment with. It’s nice that this amp is so versatile. Iv still yet to use a tube that I just couldn’t stand...some I just prefer more then others.
