So funny, and so true. Just wondering if there might be a difference can really detract from the joy! No wonder audio bliss is so expensive. I would be willing to bet that detecting non-bit perfect would be extremely challenging for anybody, but why bother trying?
just to update everyone on my situation, my replacement Gungnir has arrived and i've used it (the same way i did before) and i've had no issues with that buzzing or any disconnects or any USB power issues with this one. i think i'll keep it!

It sounds clearer and has ALOT more separation than my well used ODAC. I'm not used to so much separation. There also is much less bass. It also required me to turn up the volume on my amp quite a bit to achieve the same sound, but I'm getting used to it.

I think it's 2.0v. I got it from http://www.jdslabs.com/products/46/standalone-odac/
One other thing I noticed is when I play music via audirvana I can not control the volume from the computer. It's locked. If I just play in iTunes I can adjust volume. What's up with that?

Is anyone currently running their Gungnir through a USB hub without issue? Due to my setup, I really need to use a hub, but my current hub is sending frequent clicks through the audio chain. I'm using the older version of D-Link's DUB-H7, pictured below. I'm positive it's not my cables or the Gungnir itself (tested in various configurations, confirming it's the hub).
Any recommendations on a reasonably priced hub ($40 or below) that you know provides clean power to the Gungnir? Or should I just wait for the arrival of the Wyrd, since this is exactly what it's supposed to clear up?
Why wouldn't you wait for the wyrd? it seems perfect for what you need and Schiit's done pretty good at bumping new releases in short order. The ifi iusb is twice as much and would probably get the job done today; not in the budget I suppose!

I have a question, I heard Mike Moffat say that the Gungnir has a total of four DACs in there (one DAC per phase, per channel), but as far as I know spec-wise it's listed with two AKM4399s. I don't know much about how these things work so can someone explain to me what that is so?
