  Oh that's all I've been doing is listening and it's amazing, I'm totally in love here.

Congrats, and enjoy!

They call it puppy love and those puppies can really sing. You'll be up late tonight.

  Stop whinging, you can chow down on some Ras Malai while waiting.

 
 

  I was expecting a response along similar lines. Thanks for not disappointing me. 

I knew not to disappoint you. Now for that Vodka Lassi.
I'm getting hungry, so I'll be heading out to an Indian Restaurant tomorrow.

Nice work on the ninja edit.  Got the e-mail saying I was quoted.  You can blame me all you want though.

I realized that you said USB and decided that it wasn't fair to blame you for the Optical shortage.

So I take it the light stays lit up on the Valhalla 2 even when the power is off?

No; it goes off eventually, but it takes a while to fade out when you switch off.

You're awesome, thank you.

Thanks!!  About the only thing I don't like about Schitt gear is how bright the LED's are.  I use a product called "Dim-It", little adhesive circles & shapes of dark film, to mitigate that.  About $5 online.  Before I used a bit of post-it note or masking tape, etc, to shade the suckers down.

Using a Modi in my car. Is that sufficient for membership?

May i ask how you hook it up to your car stereo ? This sounds like an interesting set up

Sooo the Asgard 2 gets pretty warm and i have the modi on top of it. Am I ok in this configuration?

I wouldn't do that, heat rises. My Asgard 2 sits on top of my Bifrost. Your problem is of the size difference.

 

[Netrum]

You will be fine having the modi on top of the asgard 2.
I do so myself. And i have no issues whatsoever.

Acer Iconia W3 (Windows 8.1) >
JRiver Media Server (FLAC Library) >
Modi >
Aux. In to Lexicon 17 Speaker system
 
A little quirky but absolutely brilliant with ability to tweak DSP in Jriver
 
Next:
·        Waiting for adapter to arrive so that I can take HDMI out from tablet and audio from Modi and input via Aux. connection (Supports Ipod composite format)  so that I can mirror display on Car screen  (or maybe go with multiple monitor setup and show different view on car monitor).
 
Open Issues:
·     -   No optimal skin for Jriver for Tablet and car
·     -   Tablet doesn’t reliably go to Sleep when car turned off i.e. should go to sleep when power from car turned off and switching to battery.  Have tried powercfg.exe etc. to diagnose.
·     -   When resuming from sleep current song is either very garbled or sped up.  Hitting stop and play fixes but I’m sure there’s a setting somewhere I can tweak.  Buffer?
 
Solved Issues:
·        Tablet USB port does not provide sufficient power and would lose connection with Modi. 
o   Using Y adapter to inject 5v USB
·        Power adapter would stay on when car turned off
o   Added diode to USB power cable so no leakage back from tablet
·        Horrible alternator whine
o   All power cables need to go to one port. i.e. Can’t use the lighter outlet in dash and outlet in armrest.

Heat is an enemy of electronics. one risks future issues.
