Well looks like I made the right choice on the Gungnir Multibit then , mine just arrived yesterday.
Care to elaborate more on the non-USB source input? I know the Schiit guys in general are not fans of USB but they seem to have either worked things out or gave in to the demands of the consumer. USB of course was my intention for the Gugnir, but if I move things around I could make the optical out on my iMac work but that then brings other things into play.
USB seems to put a bit of fuzz into everything. On the other hand, cleaning that up to make it the equal of other choices can get crazy expensive. On the gripping hand, some digital music can only be played over USB, like DSD and DXD.
The fuzz that USB adds seems to originate with noise riding along on the USB power lines. At least, that's the current operating theory for people going down that rabbit hole.
It could be in your system things are clean enough that you won't have to worry about it. It's worth trying both the optical and USB to see which you like better.
