Sounds like their 'scheduled upgrade' service works well. 
 
Out of curiosity, do you have to pay shipping both ways?

Too bad it took Canada Post 13 days to get it down to Schiit. Aside from the posting, looks like about 24 hours of time for Schiit.

Thanks. Sounds like they have a good system set up to handle the upgrade in an expedient manner. I think I will submit my order after this weekend.

quick question. for those shipping out for the upgrade, I am assuming that shipping costs both ways are not included in the upgrade board pricing and buyers are responsible for those?

That is correct. Shipping is on the buyer.

  Anyone else notice their Gungnir MB clicking sometimes when you are not playing music? Even if the computer is off, but the DAC is on, it sometimes clicks internally. It's a different click then when changing sample rates, a bit more quiet.

Yes.

Okay, windows 10 users...question. I've been having significant trouble with drivers since getting GMB and Win10 upgrade at the same time. Music will only play for 30 minutes or sometimes an hour and then the player, doesn't matter which, will freeze. Have to use task manager to end task. Then I can start up the music again and it will play for another 30 minutes. I'm using the latest driver from the Schiit site. 
 
Please don't tell me to do stupid things like restart the computer or switch to a Mac. I work on PC's for a living so it would insult me and I'd have to call you names. 
 
The event viewer is not recording any problems that would clue me in on why this is happening. Maybe it's just a bugging driver, but it should still show up in the event viewer. I have not tried a powered usb hub and really don't want to add more crap to my system, but I will as a last result. A powered hub has never been required for perfect playback before with any dac I've owned including the original Gungir that I just replaced. 
 
Intelligent suggestions are appreciated.

Just making sure-did you download the driver from the Schiit website?

Thanks, I guess it normal. I wonder what it's doing when it clicks like that.

ur not likely going to get any intelligent answers here that you havent tried alrdy if u r tech savy. contact schiit cs. gluck! hope it works out for you.

The most I can do, regarding the Windows 10 issues, is attempt to parallel what you have tried. I'll try to install the drivers tonight, and play some music for a while. I'd most likely be streaming though because I do most of my downloaded or ripped to hard drive music listening on my Mac.

Hi!  Have you tried the WYRD? I use 3 of them back to back. The USB power coming off most of your typical PC motherboards is sub-par and very noisy. I also am using the MiniDSP NanoDigi 2X8B feeding the various frequency ranges to each of the Gungnirs, and they don't click. IF I just connect the Gungnir to my PC via USB or optical, it clicks. With the WYRD or MiniDSP it doesn't click...
 
Sorry, I'm tired and I was trying to answer the other person's question about clicks.  Sorry... About Windows 10, not sure. I try to stay away from Windows.

Powered hub almost certainly will resolve it. Windows 10 has different port power management than other versions of Windows.

Okay, and thanks Jason/everyone. I didn't want to add more schiit to my setup but I will try the hub first and then the Wyrd if necessary. I finally have all the amazing gear that I've ever wanted and I can't get my music to stop dropping out! 
 
Does it making a difference on whether using a usb 2 or usb 3 port?
