Welcome and that is certainly allowed.
I'm looking forward to this three-way review. I'm particularly interested in the Modi 2 Multibit, as I recently picked up a used one to compare subjectively against my ODAC.I am caught between people asking for its review and others saying they hate seeing so much Schiit!
I am thinking of doing a three-way review of Modi 2, Modi 2 Uber and Modi 2 Multibit. Assuming there are no objections to that, I will get it out in the next week or two.
Hi there. Welcome to the forum.
That DAC doesn't have a USB input. So I don't think it is that useful. Is there a reason you are interested in it?
This es9038q2m use i2s usb (amanero or generic xmos), making it usb, but it is an item sold separately.Hi there. Welcome to the forum.

Excuse me! I discovered this now... version 1.0. Thanks!Hi there. Welcome to the forum.

Excuse me. I also do not know how it happened! I'm kind of messed up with my PC here ...
Oh, I am glad I did not rush out to buy it.Excuse me! I discovered this now... version 1.0. Thanks!

In my review of Topping D10 DAC, I was asked how well the D10 does as a USB to S/PDIF (and Toslink) converter since it has those outputs. I thought I make this review and measurement its own topic.
Hi all. I recently received my Topping D-10 DAC. Love it! Only problem is my MacBook won’t see it unless I use the supplied 4’ USB2 cable. I tried a 10’ USB2 cable—nothing. Figured it was a bad cable, so I ordered another—still nothing. Anyone else run across this? Unfortunately I don’t have another USB2 device to test the cables on. Thanks for any help—Paul
You are probably better off asking in the main D10 thread here:

Thanks, Timbo2. I suspect you’re right. I’ll repost now. Best—p.
would be interesting to me, as I own all three of those and can scarcely tell a difference between them as long as I use a hub between the source and the USB input (which, given that there is a clear increase in THD etc in the multibit, tells you something about my hearing and/or music listened to)I am caught between people asking for its review and others saying they hate seeing so much Schiit!

or better yet, this guy:That's cool. I guess DAC listening would be a group/panel project, like some speaker manufactures do. Yes it is not a one person project...
Unless you hire this guy!
I still plan to do tht review. On ISO regen, I have done that test with Modi before.

When comparing for instance modi2 and modi2 uber, it would be of interest to see head to head USB results with and without something like ISO regen or some other hub to isolate the power issues, and then to the results on SPDIF input.
Yep I saw that one, but would be good to see the cleaned USB input vs the coax overlaid for both the Uber and multibit.I still plan to do tht review. On ISO regen, I have done that test with Modi before. See: https://audiosciencereview.com/foru...regen-review-and-measurements.1829/post-46217
Just an update, I have both the DX7s and Gugnir multibit connected to a passive preamp on separate inputs. First glance, the DX7s seems to have a ~3dB higher output level even though both are nominially 4V full output. I don't think it's the cables causing this but I do have the Gugnir output split to both the preamp and to a Jotunheim. Generally I haven't found splitting the line outs to cause any drop in level. I'll switch the cables around and see if the Topping continues to have higher output. If it does, I will plan to use it in DAC+HP mode so I can drop the DAC output by 3 dB to match the Gugnir.That would be very good!
