I wouldn't say that there is a Schiit "contact person" (such as for business or customer issues) on this forum. The founders of Schiit are Jason Stoddard (@Jason Stoddard) and Mike Moffat (@Baldr), and they post occasionally on Head-Fi. If you need to contact Schiit Audio for some reason, they have recommended using email: info@schiit.com

Anyone notice that they now have a Multibit DAC option for the Jotunheim listed? Is this new or did I miss something?

Joined the drop for the MCTH yesterday but now I want to try out the new Jomby since the dac was seemingly the biggest hinderance for most people. If the black is still available come thursday I'll buy it & compare the two. Won't exactly be apples to apples since one is hybrid & one isn't, but I'll see how they synergize with the cans I have & my potential upgrades (Auteur or Clear for end game).

Got the e-mail about the upgrade to my Jot order. Got the Jomby incoming! Was originally on the fence between the Mimby or waiting for the Bifrost update.....but this is a no brainer. The next Bifrost update will have to be quite compelling to upgrade (USB5 + Balanced?).

I ordered the MCTH yesterday as well but I also have a Jot with built-in DAC and a Mimby. The Mimby is currently feeding our home stereo system since I have the RME ADI-2 DAC arriving tomorrow for my workstation. I didn't think these purchases through all that clearly. I wanted something to replace the Mimby/Jot setup on my desk since I needed the Mimby for the stereo. In the meantime I decided I wanted a tube amp and the MCTH seemed like a great option. Now there's the Lyr 3 and the Multibit DAC module.

I think the Jot/Mimby is a big win so I suspect you'll be quite pleased.

Man, how many -mbys do they need? The fact that they now have a multibit option for the Jot and the new Lyr is now a DAC/amp makes me wonder if Schiit is seeing the light about DAC/amps Maybe there will be more to come.

It would have been great if one could exchange the balanced DAC module for the multibit module for a discount from Schiit. I have the Mimby and its so much better in soundstage and imaging than the built in DAC, that I hardly use the latter.

If you care about Multibit, I still think Mimby/Jot vs Jomby is better for $50 more for the extra inputs. Too bad they couldn't get the extra toslink/coaxial inputs onto the card. Guessing not enough room.

Hi, Thinking of ordering the multibit card , anyone have experience self installing any of the other cards. I have some soldering experience on my phones usb plug breaking and understand the importance of keeping static free area when working with electronics. Just don't want to ship my Jot back and forth from NYC to California. Does it even require lead soldering? Thanks

I installed my own Gen5 USB for Yaggdrasil, piece of cake if you are used to putting computers together or installing PCI/e cards or USB headers on the MB. Yeah, just take care of the static and everything else should be fine.

Remove the volume knob and the nut and washer behind it. Then remove all the screws in the back. Slide the top cover forward to unlock and you will see where to install the dac.

If you really care, I think the Gumby is the starting point no?
