Is it worth adding a Schiit Audio Eitr?

Replaced a MF V-Link 192 USB/SPDIF converter with Schiit Eitr. It's installed between an Aires Mini and non-USB Gungnir w/MB upgrade. I didn’t have a noise issue with the V-Link so no change there but the Eitr did improve SQ slightly. When I went back to try the V-Link, I noticed a reduction in image precision and stage depth; the music presentation flattened somewhat. For $179, the Eitr was worth it to me. Of course, it necessitates a digital coax cable from Eitr to Gungnir that the Gen 5 upgrade direct to your DAC would eliminate.

IIRC, Schitt has a stmt on their web site the newer upgraded DACs do not need the Eitrr - why not ask them?

but you can try it and return it for a tiny fee

I bought an Eitr in August for my car stereo. I tested it in my “big rig” and never took it out. I have planar speakers that typically do not have pinpoinf imaging. With the Eitr, the instruments were in tight focus. Some of my recordings now sounded like they were in mono, until instruments abruptly appear past the loudspeakers. Music is now more realistic and natural sounding. Highly recommended!

Thank you for the feedback.  I like the idea of having fewer than more devices in my signal path, but I may just try the Eitr because I don't feel like shipping out my Gumby again and if I'm not blown away I can send it back.  Easy right.  

I believe this is just a board upgrade/ swap for you... not sure why you wouldn't go that route  vs adding yet another cable into the signal path?
