Here is some unrequested information. Both my SB Touch and my RPi 4B with a Digi+ HAT connected to a Yggy LiM via coax do NOT trigger the BBG light on the Yggy.

So - to flip this thought around, what sources DID trigger the BBG light?

Ancient satellite receivers, some very old computers, some really crappy USB-SPDIF devices from the dawn of time. Basically Time Team stuff today.

On the AP, I can run 10nS jitter into optical and it doesn't trigger it. In the old days, 1nS was a considered to be a very bad source.

I believe the Apple AirPort Express optical output was almost guaranteed to trigger the light. I think that some satellite and cable receivers also were problem devices.

Edit: Beaten by Jason’s reply.

Sorta, kinda, talking about new products (like all the time), how about something like the Chord M-scaler. Hardware device lines up between source and DAC to give an extreme upsample to give the DAC more to work with. I think Mike's work does something like this now but maybe not to the same degree?

I also offered to buy old receivers but I am pretty particular in what I refurb.

I would love to get hold of a Realistic/Radio Shack STA-7 receiver to match up with my Minimus 7 speakers. Been looking for years in AU, but no luck so far.
Also a mint NAD Model 120, which was my first real stereo equipment, purchased from the proceeds of my paper delivery round when I was 13.

That was my starter system too...

If I see an STA 7 I will grab it. I love it when there is a history involved with an item.

Aaaaaannnnnnddddd...TI DSPs are running!

Literally the best news of the year. True Multibit DACs are safe. We may even be able to keep Modi Multibit 2 in production, and release the Unison Multibit DAC card.

Does this mean that the next batch/version of the MM2 might use the TI DAC8812 chip instead of the AD5547 chip that is currently being used?

And with the new Schiit audiophile fuse?

Fond memories of those little guys; had to bite on this:

I still have a pair somewhere in my garage.

Sold a LOT of those speakers. They were great for their time/price.

They seem to pop up relatively frequently in the US and Canada, but there's the cost of international postage for me (and then the effort of which is difficult for many private sellers) and would need to get a step up tranny.

I once had an office setup with a cable problem (loose or kinked or ???) that triggered it.
