  sorry, meant to say that I've already tried it

 
Oh, that's weird then... Try contacting tech@schiit.com.

I contacted them via the help & support on the website couple hours back
Waiting for a reply... but it seems sooooo long

  Has there been any discussion about burn in with multi bit  ?

The consensus is 4 hours of on time for 99% of the Bimby experience.

  Has there been any discussion about burn in with multi bit  ?

 
Back up in the thread there are some mentions about letting it warm up for an hour. Some folks promised to get back after running for day or two but never did.  
 
In my "We have received your bifrost" email. It states, "Now, give us a couple of days to do the work, test the result, and burn it in."   ... which I assume means they are doing it at the facility.   So an hour warm up may be sufficient...
 
Would love to hear others experiences.

A couple hours and you're fine.  Mine's been on for a couple days and sounds same as 3-4 hours warmed up.

Yep, same results here....just thought I would share Baldr's post from earlier in the thread...
 
"Just as all of the old Theta stuff was upgradable, so continues the Bifrost which will be 5 years old next year and far from obsolete.  Bimby warmup for a new unit seems to be 4 hours for 99%.  The sound is the megacombo burrito filter and the best 16 bit DACs ever adapted to audio.  Enjoy!"

Received the Bimby today !

but no way to install the USB driver : I'm stuck with a "Please connect the CMEDIA USB2.0 Audio Device" message....

tried Bimby ON/OFF, different (working) short cables, with or without a hub (regen), on different ports, before/after reboot, different computers and OS (XP & 7) nothing seems to work

contacted Schiit earlier (4 hours ago) and no reply yet.... aaaargh, super frustrating!
I've read that some experienced difficult install with Win7 (I run Ultimate sp1) but neither forums tricks worked.

Any idea? (other than DOA Bimby)

Does it show up in the Device manager with a yellow triangle? I played around last night with drivers and what a mess they are with Win10.

I will also mention that the 1.03 driver worked best for me.

  Bimby ordered, it will be compared to upgraded Havana, it will have to perform well in order to unseat havana
 
and now the anticipation of waiting on fedex 

 
My exact same thought regarding my Paradisea 3 -- the Uber Bifrost has been sitting unused since the P3 arrived.
 
The MultiBimboFrost has been warming up all morning, and now I'm listenng to a few of the tracks I use to compare gear on the P3 and will switch to the Schiit sortly.  Stay tuned!

Yup, it does.
 
Meanwhile I succeeded in locking me up from win7 by disabling the auto install of drivers and then mistakingly uninstalling the USB dongle from my bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Can't  even access a USB wired or PS/2 mouse now (as it still needs some driver installing apparently)
 
Onwards with finding how to resolve this new schiit....
Well, damn I guess, but dualboot FTW!

 

[Tuco1965]

I was going to suggest right clicking on the Schiit device in Device manger an then update the driver that way, but you have a bit of a mess now.

 

[JuleZ3C]

On my way to solve the mess (always nice to learn new tricks, eh)
 
Also already tried the 'manual' driver update. Guess what happened :/
 
Anyway, thanks for your support guys

 

[vocalstrance]

Yeah, good luck. My computer was putting out 50C last night. Had to unclock the thing so it would work right. Once you got it going put on the tunes and relax.

 

[joespride]

Thanks for all the responses on burn in...............anxiety abounds 

 

[goodyfresh]

So where can I find actual writeups/reviews of how this sounds, guys?

 

[somagaze]

   
Use the older driver - 1.03.
