New Schiit Modi Multibit???

I plan to follow the advice and to do just that, thank you very much.

 

You totally correct, it is easiest way to go. However once i own MB I would like to try to make it work if possible. Perhaps finally come to do with the solution you suggest, thank you.

 

Thank you very much for your advice. I already learned to like coaxial. it is now 24 hours of MB warm up, I still do not see much change but I continue to keep it warm. xDuoo X10T II is considered a clean and good quality transport. I put MB to Onkio AMP through tube buffer and it seems sound OK. We will see...

 

Another observation is that MB is very cool hooked to Onkyo through tube buffer. When I used it with PC or Magni or Vali it felt hot. This I do not understand at all.

 

My Modi MB gets warmer than some amps. It still takes in power and has to regulate that down to a few different voltage rails. Plus, there is a DSP processor on board as well. 4-layer board. Lots of tech crammed in that small little box.

 

Now I am totally puzzled, after some 48 hours warm up MB begin to sound great, airy and spacious with tight lows and good separation. I do not believe it is placebo because I listened it from time to time while it was on warm up and initially was angry feeling that Schiit failed me. Now it is hooked up with Magni and Senh. HD600. I still try it with different genres and internally could not believe what I hear. Now is the question, if I turn it off, do I need to do all over again or it will stay good sounding? Thank you everyone for patience with me, all he thoughtful advice and guidance.

 

@Tacit , just leave it on all the time. I don't have experience with the Modi Multibit, but with the Yggdrasil, the warm up time seems to be shorter after you've gone through the initial break in of the component. So maybe it won't take as long in the future. Still, just leave it on.

 

I've had a modi multibit going on 2 years. In my experience about 4 hours warm up time settles it most the way if not completely. I can't notice much otherwise.

 

Haha, this R2R DAC warmup thing all mumbo jumbo man! You totally drank the Koolaid and bought it hook, line and sinker! Your ears are lying to you and you have confirmation bias! There is no technically possible way this has occurred and no way to measure it or prove that it’s true, so you are now caught up in the mass delusion too and can never go back!

Welcome to the dark side. We have bigger lightsabres.

 

You are a cruel mofo.

Pre-apologies for the HF links, there was discussion about warmup there at the time... --> think it's most temperature sensitive on the Yggdrasil (because so precise?), then less and less down the AD line.

I recommend letting a Yggdrasil go cold and listen, a full session listen... it's interesting.

 

Juuuussssst in case it wasn’t 100% clear, and that I didn’t use enough exclamation marks, I WAS joking and being sarcastic.

I think it’s great that @Tacit went into it with a healthy dose of scepticism, but tried something, and then let his ears be the judge (and was pleasantly surprised). This is in contrast of course to those who prefer to rely solely on religious measurement zealotry. Like purr1n said, his experience is probably a combination of acclimation to new sound, along with the burn-in and thermal stabilization, but nonetheless the changes are clearly audible. I’ve heard this change with every Schiit DAC I’ve owned. But it does seem to lessen the older the DAC gets, as others have noted.

 

I thought it was 100% clear.

 

Actully you are right when I went back to iFi xDSD it sounded harsher, i should try Mojo too.
