exdmd Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Schiit Modi Multibit for sure. Consider adding a Schiit Eitr as your budget permits. Another option would just be to buy the Bifrost Multibit Gen 5 at $600 for ability to upgrade in the future. The extra money spent on Bimby gets you built in Eitr and a better power supply.

exdmd Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 @bigbob I am mostly streaming Tidal on a Windows 7 laptop > Schiit Eitr > Brooklyn DAC+ both powered by LPS. Is there any benefit to using the iFi iPurifier2 on the laptop or is it even a good idea? Appreciate your thoughts thanks. Link to comment

That is where the noise rides in from. You might send an email to Nick at Schiit with your question, but I think you are benefitting already with the Eitr and using S/PDIF instead of USB. Thanks for the quick reply. The Etir made a noticeable difference in my chain. I'll check with Schiit but I will bet they say Etir is all you need:) Link to comment
