$385 for r2r/string multi bit dac that has closed form filter is simply amazing. Cheaper than diy or buying from Chinese manufacturer. Even my old dacport cost more.

Ordered last night and added Wyrd as well. Email notification received from Schiit. No charge to my credit card so far. Does Schiit send out shipment notification?

Schiit will only charge when they are ready to ship out your product of their factory.

I think there is an option to use USPS shipping too, that one can avoid GST even above $400 total cost.

Thinking of getting next month with a Wyrd.

Guys and gals, I'm not sure what to tell you. Only the magic is there for me with the Modi Multibit, just as it was for the three previous incarnations I have heard. At the moment, listening to Natural Elements by Acoustic Alchemy - the track is Drake's Drum. There is lots of "acoustic" in this album. Through the 4490, it sounds less real. The decay to each strum of the guitar, the cymbals, some sort of what I would describe as a salt shaker, it is all more difficult for me to "bite" into. Switch back to the Multibit, and I can immediately associate what I hear with reality. Even that salt shaker became less of a one-note instrument and more of a person striking a metallic object, with a swishing motion. There was more enunciation and rhythm to what they were doing - definitely not a salt shaker. There is also nice decay to the cymbals and drums. There is more technique in how the strings are strummed on the guitar.

Dilemma for me is, I just got a Bimby for a home desktop setup.
and now Modiby comes.

Design wise, other than bimby having the capability to expand, and no such paths for modiby, truth is, how many would be spending more to expand desktop rig, instead of improving a living/listening room stereo setup?

Its a good thing for consumer of course and its a natural course for Schiit to take, to make the best available setup(with constraints) in the smallest/lowest cost setup.
This just benefits newbie who wants to have a decent start up kit.
