I don't hear a click.

I'll need to try a few other tracks. I used to upsample everything on the streamer to 96K so the GMB may have gotten lazy about figuring out the sample rates itself

I would also try different inputs just to narrow down the possibilities. If you have to contact Schiit they will probably ask anyway. I would also try cycling the power.

Seems my streamer or BubbleUPNP is screwing things up. I unchecked a box in BubbleUPNP to never change formats. Let's see how that goes.

Hope that is it.

Does anyone know how Gumby compares to Denafrips Venus? I've been eyeing that one as a possible upgrade. From what I've been reading, Venus sounds like it could be a major step up.

I own a Bifrost 2 and a fairly new Gungnir and I prefer the Gungnir to the Yggdrasil but I have a hard time saying I like the Bifrost better than the Gungnir. It is very different sounding, and I like it more with some music and the Gungnir more with other songs. I am using the Bifrost with a Lyr 3 and the Gungnir with the Mjolnir so I need to A/B them more with the same amps to do a more serious comparison.

Was it the Yggy A2 or A1 (GS) model? I didn't really care much for the GS/A1 model. It sounded pretty dry even though it was very detailed.

It has been a while it it may well have been the A1 model.

How long an XLR cable run can the Gungnir support? 3', 6'. I'm hoping for 25'

If you are talking AES/EBU, they are made for long runs. 25 feet is nothing for that signal.

Gungnir has no AES input. He must be talking about an analog signal. I run 15 foot XLR outs without any apparent problems.

I have not looked at mine lately thanks. I have several DAC’s. 25 feet for an analog signal is fine, I use the same cable for analog and digital.

Thanks to you both. Reason I asked is because I replaced my active preamp with a passive and I can measure the high frequency loss.
If I can run the long cable from my GMB to the passive and get rid of that effect it would make me happier. Plus the extra exercise to adjust the volume

Would this also be true for BNC?

BNC with coaxial will not travel as far as AES as I recall but 25 feet is certainly doable.

Isn’t BNC like single ended AES with 75ohm impedance to run 1v. I guess BNC can also take long distance signal. It’s the RCA SPDIF that can struggle.
please correct me if I’m wrong.

That sounds correct, much of it is about distance and signal loss. It’s been awhile since I studied this. I run RCA SPDIF around maybe 20 feet right now with quality Belden cable. I would use the same for BNC.
