I'm sure every Jot owner is waiting to hear impressions of the new Multibit card. I'm especially interested in hearing impressions of the new 4490 card which is now standard with new Jot's. Gone is the passive mode that some complained about. I have the old dac card and always thought it was underrated. Tried the Bitfrost Multibit , was it better, maybe, but not $600 better (sent it back). From Jason Stoppard of Schiit, about the new 4490 card.......
" We went from the original’s passive summing to active summing using the OPA1662, and went from the original’s single-pole passive filter to an active two-pole filter.
Now, some people may think this is a less “pure” approach, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating, or, in this case, hearing. And the new 4490 card sounds significantly better. It’s now standard in both Jotunheim and Lyr 3."
