  Has anyone noticed any differences using upgraded power cords with Gungnir? No cable debates, just personal experiences.

I never use standard powercords - have heard too many times what a good powercable can do....
 
Have just recieved my new Schiit Gungnir yesterday - after a long 3 weeks wait.
 
Straight out of the box it sounds every bit as good as the Stello DA220 mk2 I have on loan. The bas i strong but a bit fat - I have read that burn-in is essential with the Gungnir - so I have to be patient again.

  Is it really?  www.digitalaudioreview.net/2015/06/t-h-e-show-newport-2015-multi-bit-from-multi-schiit/

Hehe, Gold "Steve Silberman, orchestrator of the JitterBug, told me in Berlin that he can no longer listen to his home system without Schiit’s Wyrd USB de-crapifier in the chain."

And to think the Wyrd uses a crappy wall wart and a crappy high gauge metal cable.

Do you DAC folks out there have an idea what the multi-bit upgrade will do to the Gungnir's sound?
The original Gungnir already sounds pretty damn good, to me.

I'm not someone who would be included in a list of anyone's "DAC folks," but I'd wager it'll make it sound better.

 
I can't wait. Even if I get Yggdrasil (eventually -- once they figure out how to make enough of them), I'll still probably upgrade Gungnir and use it in another room or at work.

Yeah, me too, but it would be nice to justify the several hundred $$ expenditure.

Subscribed, and breathing heavily in anticipation of all the multibit reviews!

Damn - can hardly wait for the first reviews.....
 
But so far I am very pleased with my - delta-sigma - Gungnir. Just recieved it 3 week ago and it has put a big smile on my face.

I have owned a Gungnir for several years and loved it. I have had an Yggdrasil for the last few months and it's blown my mind. Completely. This upgrade should be a big step up in performance for the Gungnir. I'm glad I haven't sold mine. I will upgrade later this year and put in my other system.

I hope schiit allows customers to buy the board and sent it to a dealer locally to upgrade. It's gonna cost me ~200 in shipping costs back and forth to upgrade

Well, first thought is it beats buying a new one, and from what I've read this is the DAC to get.  Although I know that Schiit staff are very reasonable and have excellent customer service.  I'm sure they will do everything in their power to accommodate your needs.

My understanding is that they have to update the firmware in the unit so it's not just a board swap and that's why you have to send it in.  They'd love to not have to deal with it (from a logistical standpoint), but seems that's not an option.
 
Oh and subbed!  Hoping to get a GMB soon.

Hmmmm. $500 to upgrade to the multibit and $200 for shipping etc. Price wise it's so much closer to getting a DAC-19.

And then sell the stock gungnir and now you have the money for the multibit gungnir.  Just sayin...
