So rumor on the forum has it ... same as the Yggy A2.

All new analog section, likely derived from the Yggy upgrade.

Available information on the web (including photos of the original and updated Gumby circuit boards) suggests that it is a very minor update involving replacing a small number of parts and associated small change in the circuit board. It is probably a routine running production update due to changing parts vendors, optimizing production process, etc. The update is certainly not a redesigned analog section as happened with Yggy A2.

Well, even if my Gumby with the B serial isn’t an A2 board, I still think it sounds great with my Maggies. Also the Gen 5 USB is rock stable with my Mac mini. I’d have a hard time parting with it if someone told me there was an upgrade.

If Mike and Jason say it's an upgrade, send your unit it. You'll have no regrets.

Yeah, I think I'm with @Dana Reed on this one. First of all, I use my Gumby-B G5 on a daily basis for hours and don't want it gone for a few weeks. And two, better doesn't always sounds "better" to me. I rather buy the next version new, compare both and then decide what to do.

The next upgrade opportunity may well be the proprietary Schiit Audio USB circuit - stay tuned, DAC fans

A little bird tells me it will be worth the wait.

That's a good strategy, a number of folks did that with Yggy when the upgrade appeared.

As in ?

Woke up this morning, smile with the rising sun
Three little birds, pitched by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs (hey now), of melodies pure and true
Singing, this is my message to you...

I've received a brand new Schiit Gungnir yesterday and I noticed that the digital coax port has a lot of wiggle play. Theres no problems with the sound, but I was wondering if this could be a cause for concern. I've already contacted Schiit about it and am waiting for a reply. But I also wanna know if any of you have experienced this.

A year ago when I had a Gumby it didn't have this problem.

Tighten it up.

Tighten it up.

Is it really that simple?
I've never opened it before and I don't want to void the warranty.

Contact them first and get their guidance first as the connector may be hard-mounted on a PCBoard and will require return for repair.

No, not normal at all.

I do have some flex with mine as well but that looks a little extreme. I even tried it with a Canare connector which I believe is what you are using.
