How is the Modi Multi? I'm thinking of pairing it with my Jotunheim. Is it worth the upgrade over the ak Modi?The bedside station:

IMHO, yes. I had the opportunity to A/B both the Modi 2 and the Modi Multibit for a couple of weeks and to my ears the Multibit DAC sounds a fair bit better. My amp, BTW, is a Schiit Jotunheim.
I think it's a great little DAC that does a fantastic job for the price. I was able to get mine for under 200 used. I havent experienced the so called "warmup" time others have spoken about with it. I looked at the Bifrost, but couldn't justify the price for now. Unfortunately I never had the 4490 Modi so can't compare the two. I have heard great things about it though, especially for the price.
Heres my current portable station with M9, HD25 and Bro.

I'm using an EMM Labs DA2 DAC from Ed Meitner so my source is top gun... I'll report back once i get them in a few weeks. I bought them without first hearing them just because of a few friends that heard them at a show. Hope they are truly the new King of Cans. Tired of giving my money to Dr Wong at HifiMan especially when he picks selling price not on R&D and cost of materials but based on "what he thinks he can charge"
BTW, the new Manley Absolute can amp is incredible. just sayiń

Well guys i enjoy a great set of cans being that i live in a condo. I feel the headphones are more intimate and eliminate the acoustic properties of a room. Not that i don't enjoy my B&Ws with my VTL S-400 amp but each has it's place in my living quarters. In a condo late nights don't work with speakers. I have a Violectric V281 and the new Manley Absolute amp. Both are great IMHO. I'm currently using Hifiman HE1000V2 but ordered a pair of Meze Empyrean's from ViolectricUSA. Arthur says they are coming into stock in a week so i pre-ordered since he's only getting 8 pairs intially. I've read good things about these cans and Headfonia calls them the new King of Cans. Any opinions out there from anyone that has heard them.

1 - Re the pictures..."ooga, ooga!"
2 - Re the Meze Empyrean...heard it at CanJam NYC last year, instantly fell in love w/the sound & visual design of it. Had no trouble at all understanding why these things are getting so much buzz in our community.
Very much looking forward to hearing it again at CanJam 2019 in NYC next month. I'm on the ragged edge of ordering these, depending on how some F.S. items fare.
