Hopefully it is - I Can Hardly wait. I am impressed by the DS Gungnir. And so was three of my friends who borrowed it. It was beaten by a 7000 USD DAC - but not by much....

If Gumby is that much better I think I will let them borrow it for a new test.

I ordered a gungnir multibit and a mjolnir 2 with lisst about a week ago.
 
Received my gungnir on friday, sadly I think it is defective, as the single ended outputs are significantly louder on the left channel. (Tested with asgard 2 amp). I am talking with Schiit tech Nick about it, I think its going to end in a replacement being shipped out.
 
Anyone else have similar issues?
 
 
Tomorrow when the mjolnir shows up I will test the balanced outputs as well, but I want all the output to function as they should.

Schiit happens. I have no doubt Nick will handle the problem in a professional manner.

Keep in mind that most recording actually have vocals mixed slightly to the left:

So that's what you are hearing, it may be normal.

I tested with a bunch of different tracks. When I switched back to the bifrost they sounded fine. My theory is that a board is loose inside from shipping, or a chip is bad.... it's not simply lower volume. It's like certain frequencies are missing, but it just sounds really quiet overall (right channel). But I'm not willing to open and diagnose myself. I'd rather just cross ship a new one.

Yeah, sounds like a defect then in that case unfortunately.

Does Gumby remember the last input when powered off? or what input does it default to?  My intended use would be BNC.
 
(Not my intention to power it off often, but storms happen.)

Seems to. 

 

[hodgjy]

My Gumby arrived today.

 

[yinyang69]

Can someone tell me the bnc input on gungnir... is male or female?

 

[gevorg]

male female!

 

[murrays]

BNC panel sockets are female as standard. BNC plugs on cables are male as standard.
I suggest you double check with Schiit themselves.

 

[Mediahound]

Look at the rear panel picture, the BNC is clearly a male connector:
 

 

[jfoxvol]

It's female. The little hole in the middle. The male end is on the cable and has the pointy "male" copper bit that goes into the hole
