Hope get the upgraded review soon.
WOW ! - that's major - its almost a completely new model compared to my BF / Uber / USB ( that I paid voer $500 for a year ago)
So to upgrade completely do I need both 4490 ($100) + Multibit ($250) = 350 ?
Think I'd consider buying a new multibit for $599 instead

One or the other.
You can only get one of the two upgrades. The 4490 is like a Uber upgrade (only it has now become the baseline for the Bifrost). It is reported by Schiit to sound better than the current Uber but it still used a Delta-Sigma implementation.
The Multbit is a completely separate upgrade, and cannot be mixed with the 4490 upgrade. So in summary, your upgrade is either $100 or $250. I'm going for the $250, having heard the Multibit chip in the Yggy and Gumby.
Ok thanks for the info.
But if the most you can do is upgrade to the Multibit, then it is still not quite as good as new one (?)
(If I understand here: "4490 is like a Uber upgrade ...It is reported by Schiit to sound better than the current Uber" )
Mike just killed the DAC game with the 4490 frost selling at $400. Insane. And MB option for $600. Unreal.
Hopefully the 4490 widens the performance gap between modi 2 uber and the newest sigma delta upgrade. I have no doubt it would though.
I would be on this in a minute...if they offered it in black (gotta match my black Valhalla).
I just shipped mine back to Schiit for the upgrade. Only $10 for shipping since I live about 200 miles from their location. I'm excited to hear it when it returns!
