I haven't been able to find any comparisons between the Gungnir delta-sigma and Gungnir multi-bit. I've said often my Bifrost MB has been a revelation. I am not disappointed with the Gungnir I recently bought on the used market. However, I can't get the multi-bit bug out of my ear. So far my initial impressions seem to be holding: the Gungnir is smoother, fuller (in the sense of "completeness of sound" rather than warmer) and maybe a slightly but usefully bit more detailed from the mids up. I've been using the Gungnir with my planars and my Bifrost with my Stax and I can't shake the thought the multi-bit Bifrost has an edge in lower-mid and bass power. The Gungnir DS has good extension and detail retrieval "from the basement", but bass volume is lower compared to higher octaves.Hey, I truly appreciate your interest and support. That's very nice of you.
As to the wait, and the process, I am curious too, but patient. I have a Bifrost MB, that will tide me over, until I ship out my Gungnir for modding. So, no rush. I know it'll be a great piece of gear, when received.
If I can expect increased bass presence without sacrificing extension and detail retrieval all while maintaining all the goodness in the mids and highs, I will happily step into the 81st upgrade slot and wait my turn. I'm just a little hesitant because this mod is somewhat irreversible.
