I'm upgrading from a modi 2U. Has anyone else followed this upgrade path? Was it a noticeable improvement?

You should have a noticeable improvement

i assume you're talking about the gungnir multibit. if so, the improvement will be significant.

Ya, I went straight for the gumby.
Now as luck would have it all schiits upgradeable dacs come with the new usb 5 so I don't have to worry about that.

Has that been well received? Better, worse, no change? Just curious.

gen 5 usb has been extremely well received (evidence the schiit eitr which is a gen 5 usb board in a case and the positive comments in the yggy). personally, i've ditched all my decrapifiers after doing the upgrade.

Excellent, I figured as much. Most schiit upgrades that I've read about are pretty well received.

Mimby to Gumby is not really significant I've noticed especially if you use an EITR with it. The two best improvements I've gotten from upgrading from a Mimby is soundstage and clarity. The Mimby is actually quite warm, more than I realized.

What is a EITR?
Is that one of these "decrapifying" devices?

or are you referring to the schiit product?

It would seem pointless for a device that already has a usb connection

Has anyone done an A/B using the balanced out vs the SE, Just wondering what kinda gains were found, if any.

 

[Charente]

IME depends on the AMP and headphones. Schiit GMB>MJ2 balanced with HD-650 (balanced) is significantly better than SE. Veil ? ... none !

Hey guys, I'm looking at the Schiit Modi Multibit and also considering going all in on the Gungnir Multibit, instead of the Modi. However I'm really confused, a lot of people are saying that one is a significant upgrade over the other. Is it for the ports? I'm simply going to be using one or the other for music and gaming on the PC.
