Schiit Gungnir DAC

[Blindranger]

All of this A1 vs A2 conversations have me questioning what’s in my 2-channel system. I picked up a Gungnir MB for a crazy low price locally because the usb (gen 5) only intermittently works. I just assumed it was an A2, but maybe some B serial numbers are A1?

Crappy reach behind pic…

The other sticker say Gungnir Multibit MB01867 if that matters? Regardless I love my Gumby and eventually need to send it back to the mothership for the Unison upgrade.

I don't think I've heard of a B s/n that wasn't an A2. But that doesn't mean there are none ofc.

The most unexpected part of the upgrade process for me was when I sent my A1 in to get Unison, it came back with a matte button rather than the shiny one it left with.

That would kind of piss me off. I love the older style shiny buttons and knobs.

The OG Gungnir is challenging to open. The top, front, and bottom are all one piece making a u shape. Lots of screws involved, and I found it difficult to line up the leds with the holes in the case upon reassembly.

There was a guide on-line - not from Schiit that really worked well when I did the Gen5 upgrade. Keeping the LED's lined up to the holes is the critical issue.

I’m describing my experience installing Gen2, I started out with Gen1. I went straight from Gen2 to Unison, so that was the one and only time I opened it up.

Unison is factory only I thought.

It is, I was talking about when I did the upgrade from Gen1 to Gen2.

There's also a final run of Gungnir that would be an A2 board but had one of the clocks removed due to parts availability. I forget what serial name those have but in either case they too would be an A2 board. Hope this helps a little.

Pretty sure the 1st Gumby I owned fell into that camp. It was part of the final run of A2 Gungnir’s. I sold it after finding the above Gumby for sale locally.
