    Schiit Gungnir DAC

    Most people are happy with 128kbs commercialized Spotify so I doubt you are getting a "gimped" version. I have 2x Gungnir multibits now, 1 for the desktop that sees some 24bit songs and 1 for the CD player. Even the CDs I have are probably not reaching 16 bits.

    Schiit Gungnir DAC

    I would also say if you are invested in an Apple environment, Apple One is well worth it. I have the family plan and each gets the Apple services. Apple Music has mostly everything in at least 16 or 24 / 44.1 or 48. Some "hi res" songs, too, if you subscribe to that. Me s 16/44.1 is all the...

    Schiit Gungnir DAC

    I don't have an issue with M2 Max, and before that, M1 Macs. I use either Apple Music or Vox (stream and local). I am plugged in to a USB type A slot, however, and not a USB-C to USB A, or a hub. If you do use a converter, try with the $20 apple USB-C to USB A and not an aftermarket and see if...

    Schiit Gungnir DAC

    Out of the blue I got a CD player, but want to add a Multibit DAC eventually. I wish I could get another Gungnir MB, ideally for the clock regeneration just in case. I don't want to move the Gungnir from my Mac setup, since there are a bunch of 24 bit tracks I listen to. I also don't want to get...

    Schiit Gungnir DAC

    New way to do a stack. Needed to raise my Apple Studio Display without paying $400 for the height adjustment. Rearranged the whole desk, too. Headphones are now hanging from under desk on a hook. Gungnir is the DAC that keeps on giving :D.

    I am getting the OG Yggdrassil itch :) but the multibit Gungnir is so nice tho

    Love mine. Can't see replacing it for a Bifrost in the near future. If anything, an OG Yggdrasil would be it.

    Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread

    I bought mine a while back, close to when they came out. Came back to the forum and there are 25 pages of content - wow. I still don't have issues, so may be for the ones having them they were part of a bad batch. The amps should have warranties.

    Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread

    I guess I am leaving it on. Due to work hours, children, and limited time, even if amp is left on, it's no more than 2-3 hours per day, and not everyday. I guess the tube will be fine. Thanks for the input.

    Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread

    I have been using it as a desktop amp. Since I sit down and up often, I can't wait 5-10 min for tube to warm up just to listen to 1-2 songs or a 5 min video. I may just remove the tube and run it solid state mode rather than turning it on and off 5+ times a day. Bummer that I ordered with a tube...

    Schiit Gungnir DAC

    Not that bad if you have good source. I have Gungnir MB when VCXO was there. I would have gotter a OG Yggdrassil, but didn't have the money. I don't want to get the LiM. You will be happy with either one, however.

    Schiit Gungnir DAC

    Recestly got a Lyr+. Before that Gungnir MB was used with a Magni 3. Current headphones are HD800S. Obviously, headphones are the most noticeable upgrade. Went from HD598 to PS500e to HD800S. I got the Unison USB and VCXO. I like the way it sounds and will keep it. Don't really see the...

    Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread

    I enjoy the Gungnir Multibit combination with Lyr+. I upgraded from HD 598 then Grado PS 500e, Magni 2 then Magni 3, Modi D/S. Headphones made the most difference. Amp and dac about the same, with amp leading slightly. That's my experience though and I had the Gungnir for a while now (apparently...

    Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread

    I had an older generation Magni with the 330mW not the 410. Also, I had a static pop at turning the volume pot (and had that on an older Magni 2 before, I beleieve). Because I run parametric equalizer with -6.0 dB overall floor, the Magni was somewhat struggling with the 300 Ohm HD800S. It would...

    Perfect. The power is definitelly there and I am liking it. Just wanted to make sure it's not out of whack.

    Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread

    Mine just arrived. Is it supposed to be quiet on Low gain with 300 Ohm headphones? Seems the 330mW Magni was louder. Even on high gain, at 12 oclock it's very quiet. Both solid state and tube. Unless the volume on this needs to go further. But at 2 o'clock High gain is where it's at my older...

    Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread

    Thinking of buying this for use without tube. Still a good amp, but kind of pricey. Anybody with comparrison to an Asgard 3? Will run on HD800s. Need a bit more power than my older gen Magni. Thanks.

    Schiit Mjolnir 2 Listening Impressions

    For the current owners, would you recommend a Lyr 3 or a Jotunheim 2 as new Mjolnir's are no longer possible? I am leaning toward the Lyr to pair with my Gungnir, I am not set on balanced 100%. Or any other amps that are similar to Mjolnir 2? Thanks.

    Schiit Gungnir DAC

    It’s finally here. I am happy after years I was able to obtain one. It’s nice and warm now 😄 but I will leave it always on. Amp is next, probably a Lyr now that Mjolnir is discontinued.

    Schiit Gungnir DAC

    Long-yeared debate on Bifrost or Gungnir. Didn't want to upgrade later and got the order for Gungnir, waiting on the deliver. I am happy with that choice, next is the amp for my HD800S. Been leaning toward Lyr 3, but delivery times are high.

    Sennheiser HD800 S Impressions Thread (read first post for summary)

    I recently tried these headphones and out of box the sound is very nice and natural. Played around with various parametric equalizers and the Sonarworks Reference. Still making small tuning, but I can sum up my changes as follows: - bumped sub bass under 100Hz by 6dB at ~40Hz and 3dB ~75Hz -...
