Wyrd will fix the problem if that is indeed the issue. Be sure to double check that the device is selected properly in your sound settings before you purchase the Wyrd, though.
Dear Head-Fi Gurus,
I have Schitt Gungnir with USB input that works well with the Windows XP PC and foobar2000 software that I have. I have recently bought a Lenovo 64 bit I3 Flex 15.2 laptop. This laptop does not recognize the Schitt Gungnir from the foobar after I install the Schitt USB drivers. Schitt Technical support recommended getting external powered USB Hub. Will the Wyrd device help in this case? Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Hi Ogodei,
OS is windows 8.1.When I install the Schitt USB driver, the installation program does not recognize the Gungnir as a DAC and the installation program terminates because it does not see the Gungnir on the USB port. Any ideas are appreciated.
I was told by Schitt support that Windows 8.1 has problem with USB port power management. They recommended an external powered USB hub. .
Thanks,

My Xonar Essence One has intermittent crackling when using USB input (none via spdif so USB has to be the culprit), so I'm eyeing this....
However, the Xonar U7 has spdif out I believe, and runs for $100, too.
Would running my laptops audio through the U7 to the One via spdif make sense?

Thanks for the reply. I'll have to do some investigating, but the crackling occurs when no audio is playing too, and seems unrelated to any activity. Why do you ask?
wow so the "solution", is usb hub+wyrd+DAC ...
why not a powered hub and remove the wyrd? the result would be the same on most DACs.

I think that you should try the Wyrd before jumping to such conclusions. In my experience the USB isolation, linear power supply and reclocking can bring material, even significant, improvements.
