Finally the Schiit Modi Multibit arrived.
To be honest, all my excitement died away.. :sad:.It was not even working at par with the normal modi 2 I had, which had stopped working four months ago. As a backup I had to listen to Fiio D03k these days. It was my first DAC before the modi2 and was lying in the cupboard ever since after modi2 had come eighteen months back. I could realize that these four months, though I was listening to Fiio D03k, my listening sessions had reduced gradually. I don't know why...It was not the case when my modi2 was working. However I do have the memory and feel of how modi2 used to sound.
First 1 minute:
Well as soon as it started, there was nothing special I felt. Rather it sounded coarse.
Next 5 minutes:
Kept on changing few tracks. Somehow it started to stutter, the signal was getting lost for half-a-second randomly. Switched off and again on my wifi router, checked the toslink cable, restarted everything again. Stuttering reduced, atleast it seemed to be reduced or gone away....
Sound was still coarse.
Next 15 minutes:
Sounded still same...coarse. Just a little more present but nothing to be proud of.
Stuttering randomly came back again. Started feeling disappointed about my decision whether it is really worth it. The size and everything same as normal modi 2 so wondering what is special that they have done.
The stuttering made me totally dis-heartened. Thought to give a call to customer care and inform that there is something defective in the product. But thought i will inform next day.
Next 30 minutes:
Started changing tracks frequently. None of them I listened for more than half a minute to one minute.
I could recall my feelings that whenever we tend to frequently change tracks, its not a good sign. Was feeling a bit sad and to be honest did not like the DAC so far.
I also recalled that something similar had happened to me when I had changed my speaker cables to chord silver screen cables.
I just thought to leave it alone for some time and do my other work. My high hopes had already burnt... I had never found any good reviews, forget good reviews, I never found any reviews about this multibit dac on the internet and possibly that's why this DAC is not good, people have not purchased it much and hence reviews are also not there. It was just a chance and gut-feeling that I had purchased this without any concrete and substantial reviews.. was regretting that I had made wrong decision..
I lowered the volume and let it alone for more burn in....hopes and enthusiasm were already severely burnt...:sad::sad::sad:
amit.
