On the back, is there a switch to toggle between SE and balanced output?
Also, what is the reason for having two sets of SE outputs?

The switch is on Mjolnir.
Yep, It ships in SE, so if you're running balanced make sure to toggle to BAL.
Two sets of SE...maybe for looping.. I don't really know. Won't be using the SE for a while.

There is NO switch on the GUNGIR for SE/BALANCED-there is this switch on the MOLJNIR!!

Don't know why there are 2 sets of Single Ended outs but in talking to Jason you can use both SE out and Balanced outputs at the same time...

A lot of balanced amps have both RCA and XLR outputs

I was going to say....that sound weird and undesirable. Makes much more sense now!

I like the idea. You can split the signal to two unbalanced amps without the need for a Y cable as I've been using on my Bifrost. It's only a -3dB loss over a y cable supposedly, and that may be an advantage if you're running a hot source. But the fear of losing magic sounds (and the sheer unattractiveness of y cables) still makes it kind of a cool feature.

Yea. Y cable's are nasty. I believe Justin is doing the same for the GS-X. Makes sense now.

Wouldn't it be cool if one of the RCA sets were actually inputs for ADC functionality!
