    Reply to review by 'bokononvolta' on item 'Schiit Gungnir'

    Truth be told, I tired of the Gungnir in my stereo setup.  It sounded nice, but kind of faceless.  I got my Audio-GD Reference 1 DAC working again and its just more organic and has the breath of life to it... No knocks on the Gungnir, I still love it with my work headphone system, but this...

    Two years on... I have purchased the USB gen 2 card and ditched the Hiface (didn't make much difference to me, just a simpler setup).  I have also upgraded from HE-4 to Hifiman HE-6 headphones.  My Mjol/Gung stack was been powered on for the past 2 years 24/7 and no issues at all, listening to...

    Hifiman HE-4 Impressions Thread

    I really dig the HE-4.  Part of me wants to get an HE-6 since I love the 4's so much, but another part of me thinks that it can't be THAT much better. :)  But who am I kidding.  The HE-6 is on the path, but I definitely won't part with my 4's.

    Audio-gd Reference 1 DAC (56 K warning)

    Have had one of these for a few years now.  A great piece of equipment, I love the sound.     I have had a question now for awhile just never remembered to post it.  If I am using it for 3+ hours (for example) I will notice that it starts to get a bit static-y. I popped the top off and the...

    I will second the DT990 600 ohm with the Valhalla/Bifrost combo.... a great match!

    Schiit Mjolnir headphone amplifier

    I moved up the Schiit line (Asgard 1, Bifrost, Valhalla, Asgard 2) and now have both the Mjolnir and Gungnir.  I am pretty happy with this.   It was a pain to convert my headphones to balanced, but now that its done, I'm super happy with the sound I'm getting from these.  I will gladly upgrade...

    Review by 'BokononVolta' on item 'Schiit Gungnir'

    I have the Bifrost before this and plugged this into my Valhalla before my Mjolnir arrived.  Even though it uses the same D/A chip as the Bifrost, I found it to be a significant upgrade that I could even hear with the Valhalla and my Beyerdynamic DT990 (600 ohm).  If I could only choose between...

    Schiit Mjolnir headphone amplifier

    I have an Audio-GD reference 1 DAC in my home system and its smooth like butter.  :)  Very laid back and relaxed.  I love it.

    No experience with the Lyr, but I went from Asgard 1, to Valhalla, and now to Mjolnir.  I found by increasing the power it got more resolving, better atmosphere, soundstage, but I didn't get a thickening of the mid-bass region.  I find that I get that thickening with different headphones, at...
