Schiit Gungnir DAC

Hey guys,
 
Silly question, but which side of the back are the XLR output jacks? My XLR plugs just reach to the left side, so if they're on the right side (same side as the LED lights), then I'll need to order longer XLR cables. 
 
Thanks in advance.

They are on the right side.

I had already checked that, as I have the same issue and the right side is good for me. But now I am thinking of going out through a physical EQ so things are changing...

Have I just been de-sensitised to expensive headphone gear....or is that Schiit stack a bargain for what it does?

Looks great. Now trying to visualise a higher statement stack.

Then start thinking bigger, much bigger. The statement stuff will be in a similar style but larger chassis for both devices. So far I think we're still on target for about $1500 each, so bigger in the pocketbook as well.

I hadn't heard any solid changes on price, especially for the amp. The main price variance that I had come across was for the options.

I had heard if you don't have speakers, then the statement gear isn't for you.

I have a ref5se and ref150, and ordered a gungnir last week. I also was looking for a balanced dac. I am using a Metrum Octave now, which I find to be excellent. For comparison, I have had a few pricy dacs in the past, and tried a Bifrost for a bit. I did like the Bifrost for several attributes, but preferred the Octave overall for its increased resolution and lack of any signature.


Dave, would be especially interested in comparisons between Gungnir and the Octave.
