The photo of the Gungnir upgrade board on the website shows the 2015 card; does that mean they are installing A1 boards or is this just an outdated link?Yep - it was 2017. Here are my pics of the A1 and A2 boards ...

Looking for a little help. I’ve just received a used Gungnir Multibit, and when I came to insert my interconnects into the female RCA connectors on the DAC, there was some movement in the connectors on the DAC. They moved around a little as I inserted the interconnect plugs. I just want to know if this is normal.

Do you have sound? If you do have sound, I personally wouldn’t worry about a little movement. I have single ended connections on other equipment that has a little bit of movement when inserting the RCA cables. I did just insert some RCA cables on my Gungnir and it has no movement when I inserted the RCA cables. But I mainly use XLR interconnects from my Gungnir to Mjolnir 2. So my single ended connections probably haven’t been used much.

I have perfect sound. It’s not a lot of movement, just a bit of play.
Perfectly normal, IMO, given the RCA jacks on the Gungnir aren't secured to the frame (e.g. with a retention nut), just soldered to the board.

When I had my Gungnir MB that worried the heck out of me. Never had any problems

I used the RCA's in my Gumby A1 once, that was my way out of issues. XLR >> SE. The same is reportedly true on the G2 - which I just bought on Valentine's Day.
That means my Gungnir MB A1 w/ Unison OG owner, OG packing, manual, and sales slip available - contact if interested.

Does anyone happen to know the meaning of the number after the MB on the multibit sticker? Is it just the sequential order of multibit Gungnirs produced/upgraded?

Yes, some start with letters others with numbers.
Supposedly those starting with a 'C' or a number is the OG (A1 model, long held to be better than than the A2, including me). Those starting with 'B' are A2.

I believe the op is referring to the sticker on the left. The one pictured was purchased in January 2017.

Umm yes, thats what I was thinking. I believe they stopped making A1 sometime in mid/later 2016.
There is more info to be had if one looks.
1000 is a later number on the actual MB serial, not all non B's are A1s.
Source: I repair MANY broken Gungnir transistor legs after they've been shipped as this is a weak point. The only way to know is to verify.

I upgraded my OG Gungnir to MB in August of 2016 and I got A1. I've had it a total of 12 years and it continues to make sound that I enjoy a lot. Mine's been back and forth to the mothership a couple of times for upgrades, but it's never had a single performance issue.
How hard is it to remove the case top to verify ? Is it a sandwich deal or is it one top piece like bifrost 2 which is easy to remove..
