The Bryston BHA-1 is an amplifier. The Bifrost is a DAC.

D'oh, I misread that as BDA1 but I will retract my post as its irrelevant to the purpose of this thread.

 
My Asgard just arrived yesterday so I guess I will start saving for the Gungir.

Jason, does the Mjolnir produce as much heat as the previous amp models?

 

[AOmega X]

Congrats Jason!
Now if I could only get my Mjolnir on tubes...
 
Now you have me playing the waiting game.

176.4 over USB--a limitation of the C-Media receiver
 
Limitation now, but not an inherent limitation forever, if my reading of a comment of Demian Martin's in another forum is correct.  I'm hoping the C-Media receiver or whatever you plan to use in the statement DAC will be capable of 176.4 USB input in the foreseeable future.

Loving them both! Can't wait.

+1 You always answer critics with great class/bravado Jason.

Jason, will the Gungnir click like the Bifrost?

 

[ninjikiran]

its easy to assume it will, but shouldn't really bother anyone considering the click only happens when changing sampling rates.  Could be a problem if you use the same dac in Waspi/Asio as well as the windows mixer, that is unless yo uchange windows setting to match the majority of your material.

 

[Maxvla]

It is not really a big deal for me, I barely notice anymore, but I would prefer if it didn't. Mine clicks any time I start a song, stop a song, or switches sampling rates and when I need to change audio originating programs (because I have to stop one and start another), such as J River Media Center to Chrome (youtube, etc). I use WASAPI so my media player locks out everything else unless it is stopped.

 

[ninjikiran]

Under advanced on your device set the output rate to the average output of the majority of your songs.  Should help with the clicking at least a little bit.
 
 

 

[Maxvla]

Didn't help. Still clicks between stops and starts. Thanks for the attempt though.

Mine only clicks when changing rates using spdif from a creative xfi card and foobar2000.  I don't mind.  I kind of like it, it's oddly reassuring.
 
Should be interesting to see impressions of the gungnir vs bifrost.  I should be in the market for a new dac by the time this is released.

Agreed. Oddly enough...

Another couple reasons to look forward to the next Austin meet.
