I've decided to stick with the Gungnir.  Will be using with a Lyr 2. Can't wait till the end of the month.

I got the same response from the people at Schiit too - who seem like very honest people but of course would rather have me buy the Gungnir... but they do seem trustworthy judging from their no nonsense description of their products.  Someone at tech support at Schiit sent me an e-mail and said...

So using the fully upgraded Gungnir in non-balanced mode is still better than the Bifrost?  IE: A fully upgraded Gungnir in non-balanced mode isn't exactly the same as a Bifrost right?  Because if it is the EXACT same, I may just go with the Bifrost (since I am not using balanced amp or headphones)

How big is the difference in sound quality between the Gungnir and the Bifrost Uber with gen 2 USB upgrades?   I have ordered myself a Lyr 2 and a Gungnir, but I've waited 3 weeks now and there is no end in sight for the wait on the Gungnir.  I just spoke with Schiit customer service about...

Edit:   Apologies for the double post. My mistake.

Don't expect good sound quality from a gaming headset.  I wouldn't even expect average quality to be honest.  If you're looking for good sound quality buy a good pair of headphones.  I just recently purchased the AKG K712 pro's for gaming on my PS4... and it is just ridiculously good.  Feels...

I was reading an old Gungnir thread where they mentioned A V-link 92 and how much it improved the Gungnir performance.  Anyone know what that is and what it's purpose is ?

I think they were kidding about the sound improvement lol

so you rock them gently back and forth while pulling up, and then they should just come out?  Is there any turning of the tubes necessary in a clockwise or counter clockwise motion?

Thank you.  I agree with your first statement, just wanted to see my options.  Will look into those media players as well. thanks!

I think I've settled on the Gungnir DAC and the Lyr 2 for my amp.  I realize I could just go with the 2nd gen Bifrost for my DAC, but I want to be futureproof.  I may have an amp or headphones in the future that use balanced so the Gungnir provides me with that flexibility.   Wondering though...

You are correct.     But the Gungnir has not only the balanced outputs, but all of the other necessary outputs, including the RCAs to plug into the Lyr 2.  And from what I have read, it is simply their best DAC in terms of sound quality, particularly compared to the Bifrost.  I don't mind...

Those Telefunkens sound absolutely fantastic and to be just what I am looking for.   Is there any guide on how to swap the tubes? I am a n00b!!!!!
