I don't think it's normal although I don't own the Modi 2U, yet.
Contact Schiit by email, they are very responsive. The last two times I emailed them they responded within a day.

I think I may have spoken too soon. It's just being a bit odd. It is back on now and I am still getting audio so it works fine. Hopefully it's nothing.

Hello! Looking to pair Magni2 uber+Modi2 Uber with my new HE-400i's, looking for any opinions with this setup, i get alot of "might be too bright" when asking around, but i havent noticed any brightness or sibilant sounds yet from these coming out my tiny e10k amp/dac.

Hi!
 
Schiit Magni 2 + Modi 2 Uber are incoming! \o/ Can't wait.
 
I'll pair it with Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm.
 
Question: Should I use the Hi or Lo gain on the Magni 2?

You can use both but I use high gain with my HD 650s

So the Modi 2 Uber was updated to the 4490 chip or whatever, as in the Bifrost i guess now is the time to pull the trigger on the stack. OR wait and we might see Multibit soon damn the choices.

The whatever chip is only available on the new salsa version to be released at RMAF 2016, so I  would wait!

Correct, under non-disclosure I'm afraid.

 

[rez11]

the 4490 chip is in the stock now or do you mean a different chip? XD

 

[Shogster]

Correct, under non-disclosure I'm afraid.

So they have updated the info on their website, but if i order a Modi2u, it won't be with the new chip?Can't find any info thats says it is yet to be released either.

The 4490 chip was an unannounced running change by Schiit for the Uber. I am trying to find out when they started using the 4490 since I bought my Modi 2 Uber in May. So far, Schiit has not been too helpful.

Open it up and look inside...

You should reread the product page. It is stated clearly that the Uber uses the AK4490 chip.
