Gungnir is my next stop, and probably my last for a good long time
Wonderful news about the Ether-C. Have you tried your Yggy with your Moli? I'm working myself up to an Yggy.With my Ether-C it's bliss.

No, the Yggdrasil lives comfortably in my 2-channel music system, not my headphone system.
Interesting - I'm thinking ahead to the (hopefully) soon-to-be-announced Schiit 2-channel components. Have you compared the Gungnir and Yggdrasil in your 2-channel system, and if so did you find that there is a meaningful difference between them? The Yggdrasil was wonderful at THE Show, but I'm wondering how close the next step down in the Schiit range would be.
FYI I spend many years looking for a DAC that I really loved and went through at least a dozen including some of the high end labels. I had settled on Wavelength DACs which had bested (to my ears) units from Ayre, Benchmark, Kora, NorthStar, Auralic, Marantz, ODAC, Scott Nixon and a few others. When I received the Yggdrasil it (to me) blew away the Wavelength unit. I was astounded and it because my default reference DAC. I upgraded another Wavelength in my headphone system to the Gungnir MB and it was a step forward that I will not roll back. I recommend Schiit multibit solutions.

Can anyone help me decide if its worth moving from bimby to gumby?

Please take note of the fact that all of my original Theta DACs (all multibit) were developed on speaker system around thirty years ago I never used headphones until ten or so years later, when I built a direct drive tube amp for 500 volt bias electrostatic headphones of the time - Stax Lambdas. Those were my gateway drug into the world of cans.
