I’ve owned Schiit DAC’s for over three years. Bifrost/Bifrost-Uber/Gungnir/ and now Gungnir MultiBit.
The upgraded Gungnir arrived on Friday. Overall it sounds great, however, there is one problem that I’m not very happy with. Specifically, I hear a very audible “Click Noise” from my speakers or HP’s when a subsequent song has a different bit rate from the prior song. Say 44.1kHz to 96kHz.
This noise occurs simultaneously with the electro-mechanical click of the muting relay. After 3 years I’m used to that sound.
However I don’t want to hear Noise of Any Kind coming from my speakers.
I’ve been working with Schiit Support.
Their first response was:
“That is most likely the slightly higher noise floor of the Multi-Bit analog circuit. It shouldn’t be too loud but may be audible where the Delta-Sigma isn’t audible.”
Then is was “check your cables, try a different source, etc…. “ I told them I can replicate the noise time and again. Has anyone else experienced this?
