I don't recall exactly what Jason said, but I remember something about it not being possible. The multi-bit DACs are too complex and my understanding is that the Mimby is at the limit of what they can sanely squeeze in a small package.
This will be an interesting addition in Schiit family especially with the balanced headphone out. However, I think the market could be small if multibit is not possible, then it will be a showstopper for me.
Hello Jude,
I don't get this design.
A super powerful Amp when the new Headphones need only .1mlw power,
A d/s DAC from a Company making it's name with R2R ( Multibit designs ) presumed competitive with the likes of Chord,
A RIAA/high gain phono-cartridge head amp for a smaller than tiny vinyl World that's already choked up with Phono preamps sitting in everyone's closet collecting dust. ( a good many of them of Audio Research quality levels )
This Jot. probably does everything quite well, as you report but it seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist!
Is it a Analog/Digital/Integreted Amp with Mega-Tons of headphone power but not enough for loudspeakers. Phew, a Unicorn in Zebra Stripes that can pull a plow or a headphone version of a Swiss Army Knife?
I'm impressed, we don't see this kind of thing very often.
