No news on a Gungnir 4/128 ? Or something like that...
Gosh, I sure hope so. Insert shutupandtakemymoney.jpegNo news on a Gungnir 4/128 ? Or something like that...
Is that the one from Brussels?I hate to tell you that it's not a garden ornament. It's in a public square.........
It would be nice, but with Gungnir being on indefinite hold waiting for Analog Devices parts, it seems unlikely it’s gonna be sometime soon anyway. But maybe it’s it the works, who knows?I gumby 4/128 would be sweet
A total refresh with a Gumby 2 would be really cool, add in Autonomy, a remote, phase switch, etc.
Ive always wondered, if Gungnir got a full redesign, would there be enough room for a choke?
I think in many respects BiFrost2 was good enough to be Gumby 2. The only reason I want Gumby is the form factor to go with FV.I gumby 4/128 would be sweet

Also, the expensive stuff is cool, but it would be really really cool to see some of the new TI multibit techniques trickle down into the lower prices. Im still trying to wrap my head around inflation but damn, stuff is getting expensive.

Which brings me to my suggestion for the powers that be.
Case size options. Allow us to upgrade the case size, so we can mix and match Schiit. Turn a BiFrost into Gimby! A Magni into a Jotunheim! A Vali into a Lyr?
Not the performance, but the looks.
I knew you'd love it!

If it is, I’d think it would probably increase in price to be more in the middle of Bifrost2 and Yggdrasil, somewhere in the vicinity of $1600 or so, as with the Bifrost2 moving up to $800 with the new analog card is getting very close to the current Gungnir’s $1200. I think it’s hard to add that much to it for an extra $400. But at $1600 it would make more sense, as then it would be a very good middle tier price-wise for those wanting something bigger than Bifrost2 but not as big as Yggdrasil.
It makes sense to me anyway, but then again I’m not running a company.

Thanks for the update... as someone posted earlier, a TI Multibit Modius sounds like a winner... kinda bummed I waited on the Mimby anticipating an update .The news about Analog Devices DSPs is not good. If you're expecting inexpensive True Multibit products, it won't happen until we redesign for TI. This is in process. But slow. I'll be editing the Modi Multibit to remove it from the Modi page soon, because we don't have a date when it will be back. Bifrost 2 and Yggy are covered, everything else not. Same as I said a while back.
No.
The old one is still a great DAC. Even better if you find an opamp modded one.Thanks for the update... as someone posted earlier, a TI Multibit Modius sounds like a winner... kinda bummed I waited on the Mimby anticipating an update .
Please read all of the chapters in Jason's book, and you will find your answer.@Jason Stoddard - Here's something I'm genuinely curious about. You're an honest guy (at least you seem to be). From the snarky notes added to the legalize in the manuals, to the humorous yet straightforward product faqs, to the well-written and insightful chapters here on Head-Fi, you clearly value telling it like it is, calling a spade a spade, no bull-schitting, etc.
Pretense? Bah! Overinflated windbaggy hype (I'm tellin' ya this is the greatest product ever to be made!!!!!)? Never! I mean, for the longest time Yggdrasil, your most expensive product for sale's faq page suggested people would be crazy to consider spending so much on "a 25-lb product that does the same basic thing as a $0.32 chip in your iPhone." Your candor is amusing and refreshing, and it engenders a sense of trust - you won't try to sell us on anything.
And yet....
Your background is in marketing. You are very good at it. As a marketer, your job IS to sell people on things. Authenticity in marketing is tricky business.
So I am genuinely curious how you balance these two 'forces." Either one running wild could lead to a kind of disaster (either becoming a huckster or TERRIBLE SALES NUMBERS). When you get a chance I'd love to hear your thoughts on how you straddle this line.
