  Anyone here gone from the Bifrost Multibit DAC to the Gungnir Multibit DAC ??  I've been very happy with my Bifrost Multibit...and $1350 for the Gungnir Multibit is a lot of money for me....but I'm getting more and more curious about what exactly I'm missing.  Sure would like to hear someone's comparison of the two.

  Yes, to me there are differences (not just the ability to go balanced) but is it worth the price?  I found a Gungnir MB on the for sale forums and am very happy.  
I kept the Bifrost MB also

Hi Bill, Can't offer you a comparison of the two, but I have heard R2's comments previously and I do value his assessment.
Also, this short thread by atomicbob addresses the differences in the MultiBit lineup:

My sense is that with any incremental upgrade, improvement is real and objective, but worth and synergy in your own system are very subjective.
Love my Gumby, and although I do want Yggy, what I currently am listening to is so good that I don't feel any urgency to go to the Yggy. Eventually, yes.
Instead, I have been exploring the Gumby potential with different headphones.

Jan 1962 Siemens grey shield CCa auction. 68 hrs left. 1 bid $180.
 
Tele CCa 1960? Looks like fat getter ring. Drools! $504.70.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-Telefunken-CCa-E88CC-Small-Halo-Getter-late-1950s-Diamond-Tested-Good-/172498716578

That seems a bit on the high side for the Telefunken CCa tubes. I bought a matched pair from 1960 with the fat getter rings for $290. I am fairly sure I could get more for roughly the same price.

Hell I think I may bite on a pair if the seller states no noise or microphonics and they are matched.
 
 
Your welcome, I`ll see what I can do.
 
Keep this handy, I got a nice pair of 1957 PW 6922 for $250 from this link.

The langrex auction seems great - I might jump on a few of these if anyone is interested I can buy some tubes match them out then send pairs The price seems more than decent so I'll probably snag a few for myself!

Thanks man
 
Does test Grade 1 mean NOS? Maybe I should just get a pair...
 
There is a 10% ebay bucks promote going on, not sure if it is targeted but if you see it on the ebay homepage make sure you click activate

Expect all PW to have a lot of hours on em, buy a pair and see if the single would make a suitable back up, do not think these are going to last long at all.

I have this PW:
 
GEC Philips PCC88, Heerlen, D-Getter Pinched Waist, 1957 (DJ4 Δ7I), Triodes 9.4/10.5mA (new = 11mA)  - $99
 
 
I don't know how that would work with what you guys have but it sure sounded great in my Vali 2!
 
Edit: kolkoo has another one that matches okay with this one. I don't know what his price would be but you could get a nice matched pair for a good price.

Guys are not buying quick enough here, still more than 10 available

  lol

I`m hoping these PW sell out quick, I had these 2 times on the confirm and pay screen, I really want the M2 next.
