I almost don't want to ask this because I don't want to open a can of worms... after reading around the web on the evil "glitch" it seems that it was resolved a while ago but I cant see anything that is like "If you got your Gumby after this date it's covered, if you got your Bimby after this date it's covered" etc etc. I also saw some references from Mike about fixing the issue on older DACs if they go back in for upgrades, but I don't see anything like "if you got the Gen 5 upgrade, your covered". I think it would provide a little comfort for those of us that are a little OCD like myself ^_^

I remember reading somewhere that the glitch was fixed in the fall of 2016. I might be totally wrong though.

Found it.

"This change was implemented before the multibit Gungnirs and Bifrosts were introduced and that glitch is not applicable has never been involved in those products."

As long as you can repair your own toaster everything is fine.

Like you repaired that power supply? That Mikita solves all problems.

His 'son' can't

Nooo.... That was an investigation and trouble shooting exercise.
Conclusion: Makita is much more powerful than the PS Audio PPP

The upshot here is that the operation was a success - but the patient died........

Bring back an old OT... I got some new retro style caps to match the look of my Schiit

I just got the new LISST devices. Here are some pictures in case others want to see what they look like.

Neat!

Wow... They look nice.
Tell us about sound and gain as soon as you're done testing please.

Since the gain is set by other circuit elements and not the valve/LISST itself, there should be no difference in that regard. Sound may (will?) vary, of course.

Will do. Unfortunately my main 2 chan setup is in a room that is not optimal because the floor was squeaking and vibrating too much in my larger listening room and I need to rebuild the floor to be more solid and stable.

Current setup in a small room.

Tubes have what is called a "gain factor". For example, 6SN7 tubes have a "gain factor" of 20. It would be interesting to note the gain factor of the octal LISST parts.

Cool - I had to snag that pic for future use!

A single LISST into a vali 2?

Would that work? Not work? Stupid as heck, probably.....just throwing it out there, or would it not be balanced?

Don't think the Vali 2 has a balanced output, does it? In any case, if you select the "Noval" option for LISST, it states "For Vali 2", so you should be fine.

Those are nice, but an orange led inside would be even more, just so we have some tube-ish glow.

Isn't the whole reason of having a Vali 2 to be an introduction to tubes? if you want solid state why not just get a Magni 3?
