I was just thinking the other day a completely unbalanced and therefore cheaper Yggy would be nice.

Only nerds use balanced.

Merle Haggard - oh hell yes! Who are those other folks?

Lol! I’m about a mile from Merle Haggard drive… And two-ish from Buck Owens drive. Not my thing, but ymmv… But I will say that the episode of the Ken Burns Country Music documentary on the ‘Bakersfield Sound’ was interesting.

My concept for a Gungnir 2 is a Yiggy minus balanced outputs, plus the best SE outputs Schiit can make, plus Unison, plus Autonomy, in a smaller chassis/footprint, priced head-to-head with the Chord Qutest.

Why?

Assuming that Gungnir stays around the same price point, balanced is pretty much a requirement otherwise it isn't going to sell.

Sounds more like modi multibit stacked with a unison eitr

Had a thought — putting my old vali 1 between my bifrost og and my forthcoming modius, to add warmth. Could also use a sys and some splitters to toggle.

Modius is also a DAC. Do you mean Magnius?

 

[bosiemoncrieff]

Yes I do, lol.

Try it, you might like it. The only thing you have to lose is time.

Sounds like Bifrost

Yes I do, lol.

Did you end up replacing the speakers? Mind you I am going from Klipsch bookshelves in a cubical room to the Walsh 1000s, but they should be here Monday/Tuesday next week. Modi -> Freya S -> Vidars (Yggy is still on backorder) using a VolumioPi with Pi2AES output if it matters.

Waiting on the Salks. They were ordered in March and unclear when they will arrive. It’s apparently a small operation.

When they do, we can entertain questions about ragnarok.

@Baldr Could you please throw us some teases about the future of Gungnir? When will we see it available in black finish?

My wish list would be for it to become your ultimate single-ended DAC, going head-to-head with the Chord Qutest. Sort of like a Yiggy with a smaller footprint. What do you think?

It is called BiFrost2

Edit: @Derrick Swart beat me to it.

Line one, See previous post
Line two, Nope

I love the expression @Baldr Mike used in his latest video. "People are looking for a mosquito fart while jet engines are flying by".
This is often so very very true. With your permission I will use it very often in my audio communication.
Thanks a lot for this very cool statement.
