Schiit Mimir impressions?

You could try it out yourself for 2 weeks and return it if you don't care for it, subject to a 15% return fee.  That's the only way for you to know for sure. I don't think $45 and some shipping is too much to pay for a 2 week home trial given what some spend in pursuit of this hobby but others may disagree.

As for the DSD.issue, that depends on whether you play DSD music or not.  I have no recordings of that type so I don't care if DAC does it or not.

Reality.

I use the Saga 2 with the Modius e, a great combination...Schiit told me the Modius is a little better than the Mimir if only used as a DAC, without the other features the Mimir offers...

I traded my Schiit Mjolnir v3 for a AsgardX with Mesh card on Saturday. I think that is the same as the Mimir. I can send you some feedback in a week or 2. I need a headphone adapter to arrive before I can listen. I never heard the Mesh card since the AsgardX was connected to the Guniger 2 and I listened to that.

BTW - the Saga 2 preamp that I had waiting for me on Sunday is really good. A steal really.

Thank you for the excellent input everyone. I'm actually eyeballing the Saga 2 as well. I have a Saga+ and am wondering if the changes are worth giving up the tube stage. Not sure I'm getting anything with it in my setup. At the Mimir's price, it's worth trying to see if it can beat my Topping D90 (AKM chip) and the Eversolo's built-in DAC.
