I've had the Modi Uber 2 since May and have enjoyed it quite a bit, but when the Multibit version was announced I was very interested. Not finding any head-to-head comparisons between Modis, I went and read up on multibit vs sigma-delta DACs, and...came away really confused. Despite that, I went ahead and ordered the Multibit. After 2 weeks of using (and enjoying) the new Modi I finally had time to sit down and compare the Multibit with the Uber 2.
What do I think? Well, trying to describe the difference in sound is difficult, but ultimately I think that the Multibit is the victor. When I put the Uber 2 back in the system, it's presentation was appealing and made me think that perhaps I should have stuck with it. When I switched to the Multibit, though, everything seemed to have a bit more presence and impact. I've read that there are more differences between the two than just the converter chips themselves, so I can't give an opinion on multibit vs sigma-delta. I can highly recommend the Modi Multibit, though!
