Please share your thoughts, when you have a chance to compare them.

I'm glad that it's not just me :) But they aren't both gen 5. Mimby is gen 2, Bimby is gen 5.

I see no reason to argue with the person who either didn't read or don't understand the specification. Quoted from http://www.schiit.com/products/wyrd If, as you stated, you are here for a long time, you may've heard that clock signal is a part of data that is being sent to DAC. That should...

Ok, I think I wouldn't bother such an experienced man (and other educated people) with such a nonsense. Especially if he wasn't sitting in that room and listening. It's non-constructive talk. I'll just stick with my opinion. And I just suggest people to try by themselves and not listen to some...

It wasn't placebo. 3 people heard it, 1 of them even didn't know what I was doing. Second was highly sceptical. They were asked prior to me talking about observations. Next please. We surely can switch to another thread if you want.

Well than explain the difference I've heard please.

Well, back on topic. Modi MB is great DAC and I like it very much after listening to it on several systems. But USB is the weak link of the DAC. You have to consider that making a purchase. As I'm still waiting for 502DAC that I want to use as a streamer with RPI (through coax). So I will share...

I agree with your way of thinking. And I guess each one of us should find his/her balance and keep diminishing returns at minimum. Analog cables do matter. I have 3 of them for hd6xx, 2 of which diy (nothing fancy, from pro audio supplies). And I clearly prefer one over others. But I could...

Modi 4490 and Multibit both have usb2 version. They don't have enough space for USB 5 implementation. By the way almost all professional cables such as Mogami or Gotham, etc (I mean pro, not audiophile/fool) use oxygen free copper. It's just the widely used technology that became marketing...

Then why people (that seem to be serious engineers) are inventing different kind of USB inplementations even within one company?)

Correction. We were talking about cables AND interfaces. I don't want to mess with anyone here. I will be happy to learn if someone could educate me. Honorable members of different forums with expensive equipment and tons of experience have different opinions. However, at the moment, I compiled...

No, not the whole thread. People discuss the difference they hear on the several pages I read. I'll take my time to read more

Don't wanna make you sad but when I followed the link you provided, the first topic on the list was "Why do USB cables make such a difference?" :astonished:

I'd appreciate facts and links to appropriate forum. Thanks.

Maybe you're right. But for starters: 1. Check if there is any kind of error-correction in for USB Audio 2.0 spec 2. Check how the USB signal looks like (see oscilloscope pics on the web at least). Try to search different pictures for different interconnects. 3. Find out what voltage tolerances...

I thought the same. I felt like stating that different USB cable will bring you different result is stupid bull (and I'm working in IT). Until I figured out what USB audio format, asynchronious transfer are and how the signal is being transmitted through "digital" wires. I guess it's a...

Wasn't it said about Tidal?

You made my day! It seems it's better to develop spiritual qualities like abandonment instead of audio gear :ksc75smile: Do you know if HDtracks affected? Thanks!

Don't forget the tester and you'll be fine :-)

I don't really trust Chinese brands unless I have any criteria to judge the product. Only thing I can say about the cable you mentioned is that the price is not quite reassuring. But it will work) The DIY may take a lot more time and money than you initially thought. I'll go that way only if...

I guess, you could find the answer in that topic, but anyway, if you look at the picture (the last one on the 1st page of the mod thread, I hope it's a picture of your headphones :ksc75smile:), you can see that main cable has three wires of three different colors. Then commutation goes to the...

Hi, 1. It may be 4-core wire or 3-core in your case. Better use 4-core. Left+, Left Ground, Right+, Right Ground. 2. You may use whatever jack you want. If you want to buy new jack - check Amphenol or Neutrik, preferably golden plated. 3. I advice you against buing cables on Ali. Paracord - yes...

Just braided my first glamour pinkish cable for HD6XX that didn't come yet) https://imgur.com/a/uGLsn Wasted: 1) 2 meters of 0.19mm2 (<24AWG) Gotham cable. Just see the amount of copper to be thrown away! I guess won't do it again)) 2) 2 chinese HD650 plugs. Cardas went to balanced cable 3) 2...

Thank you so much for the source. I will definitely use it for DAC comparison :floatsmile:. That's a strong statement with Sony MDRs)

Yep, maybe you're right. Thank you for reminding me. 1) I've got the material you was telling me about. Didn't come across MB dac that was powered on for a while yet. 2) As I stated above, I was listening to cold Modi MB, out of the box. Maybe that's the reason I didn't notice much difference...
