I know VERY LITTLE about EE, but, would something like this product be of use: https://allo.com/sparky/shanti.html

I'd need to keep the voltages in the ~14-16 V range along with enough amperage to satisfy the power consumption of each unit.
I think @theeclone was on to something with the "Cthulhu" recommendation.
Stock components all come with 16 V / 1000 mA wall-wart, but have slightly varying voltage recs printed on the back of the units.

Cthulhu power to MM2 / Loki Mini + / Piety would be something like:

- Cthulhu white plug (14 V / 1500 mA) - Piety (spec. 6 W power) - rec. 14-16 V
- Cthulhu black plug (16 V / 500 mA) - Loki Mini+ (spec. 4 W power) - rec. 16 V
- Cthulhu black plug (16 V / 500 mA). - MM2 (spec. ? W power) - rec. 16 V
- Cthulhu green plug (6 V / 1300 mA) - Open

Didn't see a power consumption spec. for the MM2, but as long as it's in line with the others the Cthulhu "should" be able to drive it safely (I think ...)

A custom VU meter box perhaps????

There must be a little @OldRoadToad in all of us...!

Man... he must get around... ... not sure how he feels about the "little" comment...

My next project is a VU meter box in solid cherry that can switch between four inputs and provide two outputs. I have been known to work with VU meters a little.

Um I added VU meters to a Bottlehead Crack before I ever met the guy lol.

Nice distance to enjoy that S class.

Or the new AA Class?

Update to the Follow up.

"And ... the Modi Multibit 2 in silver should arrive today "

Well, not. "Pending" since Sunday, the original delivery date.
Claims to be at a destination facility about 40 miles away.
One tracking comment "Sunday 8:43 AM; Delivery exception Customer not available or business closed".

Have another package that originally indicated a delivery today that now indicates on time for tomorrow.

Maybe a two-fer.
FedEx.

Enjoy the Schiit N Music

Now I have to find time to rewire my setup...

Lots of connections:

• BluRay, XBOX ONE X, Work Laptop, NES Classic, Personal Desktop, HDMI Switch
• Desktop USB, HDMI Switch optical, BluRay Coax > MM2

• MM2>Loki>Analog Switch>(Asgard 3, Darkvoice, THX789, Saga)
• Mani 2>Saga
• Modius > XLR THX789

I recently sold my AKM Modius because I never used it but the balanced out to the THX789 sounded really good. I wonder how the Modius E balanced to the THX789 would sound?
I'm definitely interested in your MM2 to your Asgard impressions too.

I just checked, and they do make RCA female to BNC Male adaptors. That should work, right?

I used one for a while, worked great. Then I got something that had BNC out :-O

However, the first chapter you'll be seeing is probably the first in a series on "the most abused audio terms." The first term? The worst of them all: Class A.

I saw recently something termed "Class A +", if you could slam that while you're at it... thanks!

I am considering purple braid on all cables but I may color code them with multiple colors of cotton braid.

Here here on the color coding. Although you're not intending to move things around much in the future, when you do, that color coding will be a lifesaver.

Sounds like marketing hype. No such thing in the engineering world, after all, how do you get more than 100%?

I'm a big fan of Sailing to Philadelphia, especially the title track.

I'm a little more partial to I'm Shipping Up to Boston. Not a title track though, but supposedly that one is lyrics by Woody Guthrie, music by Dropkick Murphys, same with their newest album that is Woody Guthrie lyrics, music by them.

That is the ringtone on my phone.

Sorry, meant to quote for response to Hyde00

I did last night. I am sending my Yggdrasil in for service and tried substituting mm2 and bifrost 2/64 on my 2 channel setup. I am running Tyrs with Freya S to a pair of GR Research x-Statik speakers. Tone-wise, the mm2 did pretty well, but very little sound stage. It had ok left to right and some height but very little depth. The Bifrost was significantly stronger soundstage, but not as good as Yggdrasil.

I guess I would match it to the level of the other gear you have.
