The seller I bought mine from was Tonal Tubes, but they are currently backordered. I'm thinking I may actually buy an extra one or two of these since I really enjoy their sound and don't want to go too far down the tube rolling rabbit hole. Time will tell.... I also decided to replace my Fulla 2 with a Modi Multibit and that should be arriving in the next 2-3 days hopefully. 

 
I'd be interested to know how much of a difference the Modi Multibit makes, I've been thinking about going down the same path

Based on what I've seen from other users and reviews, the Modi Multibit offers a fuller, more detailed sound than the original Modi & Modi 2/Uber. Assuming the Fulla 2's DAC out sounds about the same as a Modi 2/Uber, it should be a noticeable improvement. The Fulla 2 sounds great to me and is perfect as a relatively portable DAC/amp solution, but I decided I wanted a more permanent desktop setup with more features. The Modi Multibit fits the bill for me, especially after I get the return refund from the Fulla 2. 
 
That said, I just got the tracking number email from Schiit and I will update my findings here whenever I get the chance to sit down and listen.

Got the Modi Multibit up & running with the PYST cables and I have to say, even just after streaming few songs on Tidal, I can hear a noticeable boost in overall depth, detail and liveliness compared to the Fulla 2's DAC out. Perhaps a small increase in sub-bass with my HD598s as well. Can't wait to pair this setup with some HD650s or other higher end cans!

I really like the way the Modi MB & Vali 2 sounds with the Gold Lion E88CC tube and decided to order a couple more to use if/when I wear out this current tube. I honestly don't even have a desire to try out different tubes now, but maybe I'll feel differently as I start buying more cans. Looking at you, HD650s!

Damn you!   This just made my wishlist become a lot more expensive....

Totally worth it! I also got the HD650s a couple days ago and the sound is just wow compared to the HD598s, at least for my musical tastes. I was really needing more bass response and warmth. The HD650s delivered.

Ugh...  The craving is real.
