Schiit DACs (Bifrost and Gungnir down, one to go)? The information and anticipation thread.

[grokit]

The Schiit Hammer has a better ring to it but I do like the Norse themes overall.

Lol!  I'm waiting on the Schiit Plunger.  True 'wire with gain'.

You really need to take a crash course on norse mythology to appreciate these names. Mjolnir is Thor's hammer. Bifrost the bridge between worlds, Asgard and Valhalla both legendary places. The rest are there for you to find.

Or just Google it.

^  That never made any sense.  The power comes from Mjolnir, not Thor.  Thor w/o Mjolnir has no Thor powers.  Anyone else wielding Mjolnir could not have Thor powers as Thor has none inherently.  Whatever.  Batman is better, he can afford an Orpheus.

Thank you !!! I was getting ready for a tar & feathering ! So I guess any content of my posting was "blown out the window" due to the poor structuring of the message , huh ? Anyone (who  was eager enough to join the "stoning") is welcome to re-read my posting for the message this time. Just put on the 3D glasses you did'nt drop in the box at the movie theatre before attempting the 2nd read. In all fairness though, it was only about a paragraph &  a half of content.
 
I keep forgetting that many you appear to have Attention Deficit Syndrome. That would explain a lot of the ramblings I see over here.(Hey, look I used the return key. I think I'll do it again)
 
Have a "structurally correct , content devoid" day. That should be pretty easy to accomplish for many of you.
 
That was'nt the real ending of my posting. This is !
 
Or Not! (I could do this all day)
 

See, was it so hard? yes it seems so..... this is a real problem with your communication skills and if you just shrug it off with a sarcastic reply and try to blame the reader you are missing the point. It seems also that you are confusing a line of text with a carriage return as a paragraph; paragraphs are about breaking a block of text into bite size pieces so as to make the ideas contained within have narrative, in their usual form they have a beginning and end, with content in the middle.

Sigh, seems like the statement stuff is probably only going to be shipping around q4. Oh well, I can understand the delays given Schiit are a small company but still dissapointed. Haha, will probably decide between the Gungnir, the Calyx Dac or the Auralic Ark Mx+ for my headphone system now.

Just seems like longer. Transitioning from heavy pre-orders with big backlog, to filling the shelves then release with product ready to go, is a huge shift and finishing the first part and getting prepared for the second part feels like an eternity. Once the mid range gear begins flowing the transition to the statement gear shouldn't take as long since we're already in the correct flow.

Yup, hopefully. However, from Jason's comment that they "still expect to announce and ship this year" regarding the statement stuff, I'm guessing it's probably gonna be pretty late in the year. Hopefully an announcement or at least some hints first. If it's tempting enough, I just might survive on my XDA-1 in my room setup and wait for the Statement DAC.

Yeah for now I'm going to sell a few things and use that money to climb the DAC ladder to where the statement stuff will be around, then get the statement when it releases and compare and see who wins. Don't really want to wait nearly a year.

Yup, that sounds like a good idea. I'll probably see how the Gungnir looks and either get it or the Calyx then sell that when the Statement DAC comes out.

But what will I be able wait for once I have purchased the statement rig? I have only been into headfi for approx 18 months and pretty much all that time I have been waiting for something. Luckily my rigs are almost complete.

We got a comedian here, guys!

Gungnir and Mjolnir - spear and hammer.  Correct balance is important in both.
 
Will be interested just for the sake of curiosity in the guts of Gungnir, given Mike Moffatt's history and what Jason has said about no "me too" designs.  As far as purchase, I've personally owned only two DACs in the last 20+ years, both designed by Mike, so I feel comfortable waiting for the statement piece to upgrade from the Bifrost, with which I'm currently very well pleased.
