actually I'm putting the price for the gugnir to be between $1200-$1500 and the bifrorst to be $800-$1000 just based on component cost but even still I think you'll be hard up to find a better sound at those prices. I believe the bifrost will be the sweet spot for most spacious and detailed with tight bass. For most setups the multibit bifrost will not be the limiting factor (think amp & tranducer).
I don't think there's going to be subsidized upgrade for multiple reasons, but I don't think they'll need it as you can upgrade a total of 4 boards for the gungnir at your own leisure
2xDS DAC+analog stage---->2xmultibit DAC+analog stage+deglitcher?
mofta filter ---->superburrito filter (look at the yggy board on their website and you'll see that the dsp has its own board)
USB2---> USB3
Keep your Wyrd and upgrade dacs first, then filter, and finally usb.
I've actually been wondering how they plan to implement the separate DSP board into Gungnir seeing as it seems to have 2 spots for the analog/DAC cards and one for the USB...
