Schiit Mimir impressions?


Now that it’s been out for a while, I’m wondering other’s opinions of the Mimir? I’ve been thinking about adding it with my Eversolo DMP-A6 Gen 2. Will I see a noticeable improvement over the Eversolo’s DAC? What about the lack of DSD? I'll be feeding it into a Schiit Saga+/Parasound A23 combo, speakers are old school KEF 104/2s w/KUBE.

Thanks for any input.

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.

I am using my Mimi’s on my second system—Psradigm Premiere 200B speakers and Rega Brio MK 7 integrated amp with WiiM ProPlus.  The Mimir is better, imho, than the DACs in the WiiM and the Brio.  This modest system provides really good imaging and tonal qualities.  I have not yet tried any of the extra features that come with Forkbeard, but I may try out the equalizer feature soon.  I am pleased with the Mimir.

I plan to pick up a Mimir for a little setup I'm building. It seems like a great value, nothing else I can think of has all those features and pedigree for such a great price.
