Are the outputs of the Gungnir all active at the same time? I.e. does it output to both the balanced out and the single ended rca outs at the same time? Thank you.

Specifically, how did the two DAC's compare? The Minimax Plus gave us a little more pronounced snare hit and a little more air in the top end of the frequency response compared to the Gungnir...
...The real icing on the cake was the fact that we couldn't tell which DAC we were listening to once we listened for more than a minute or two without looking at our input selector.
I already have the original Minimax ($650 at the time). It has quite a few mods including rectifier bridge, diodes, Belleson regulators, caps, Dexa discrete opamps on the input stage and Mullard tube. I feel the Gungnir would be a lateral move at best. I guess there really is no free lunch. Looks like I'll have to move up a few price brackets to get that last iota of diminished returns improvement.
I've directly compared the Gungnir with the DA8. They're equivalent in quality, but the feature sets differ considerably. The DA8 sounds like the Gungnir in the sharp filter mode. In the slow mode, the DA8 offers a softer presentation--may be good if you're trying for a rounder sound.
Hi, I want to add the USB option to my Gungnir. I'm no wizzard with electronics, but I was wondering of this would be an "easy" job I can do my self. Anybody has got any experience doing it themselves? any tricky things I should be watching out for, or is it all straight forward plug and play?
