New to HeadFi and new to Schiit. Just bought a Modi Uber and already thinking of upgrading to a Gungnir MB. Not a Head Fi guy per se in reality although I do have an Audioengine DAC and B&W headphones. I listen to music from my laptop but mostly consider myself a speaker guy. I have a tube amp. I really enjoy reading all the comments on this forum. A lot of good information here.  Anyway, just amazed at the Modi. I have a Micromega stage two I use as transport that I used with the MSB Link DAC  for years that finally  went kaput. Can't imagine how the Gungnir MB will sound. The DAC is the most important piece in anyone's set-up. Amp is second and speakers or headphones are last IMO.

Welcome to the club. I can only speak for myself, but moving from bifrost uber to gumby was a revelation.

I don't think AES and RCA/BNC are interchangeable, not only are the impedance different but the so are the voltage. The AES voltage can be 10 time higher.

Connecting should be no problem:

@lukeap69 thanks for linking the review.

^ Yes. A kiwi is an entirely different kind of fruitiness than a lime

I can't get the link to work.  Is it just a problem with my network or computer or have others had a problem?

 

[lukeap69]

It seems there is a problem with Darko's site at the moment. Please try it later.

There is definitely a problem with Darko's site - and I am not talking about the network issue

Maybe those Vodka ethernet cables that DAR reviewed some time back have better synergy with audio systems, rather than website hosting.

Does anyone know the fuse values on the gungnir?

 

[Dalgas]

Google told me 1A slow blow - but also 2 A slow blow. Guessing that 1 A is for 230 V and 2 A for 110 V???
 
Ask Schiit - or even better: Open the darn thing....
