Schiit Gungnir DAC - anyone have one of these?

Eagertrader - after having the Bifrost in my system for a few months now, I can tell you it only gets better :-)

Since installing it I have upgraded the interconnect to a pair of Stager SilverSolids - with Eichmann Silver Bullet RCA connectors and upgraded many of the related power items like cables, connectors and outlets.

Every step of the way the Bifrost revealed more dynamics, delicate textures and space in the music.

I would encourage you to consider such upgrades if you have not already done so - I'm sure the payback will be worth it.

The blue jean cables I had ,the Analysis plus Solo Crystal Copper
And in- connects Silver over Copper totally destroyed therm ,not even 90 % that is being kind in every dept ! to really hear what is on your recordings borrow from the cable Co. For a few days, afterdoing so there is no turning back.
T.A.S magazine has them as a regular price- performance winner.

Since my last post I've changed to Silver Harmony from KLE Innovations, which proved to be a considerable improvement over the Silver Bullet across the board.

Faster dynamics, extended bass and high frequencies, warmer sounding, much improved imaging and above all superb clarity

:-)

The gungnir dac I have in my other system and compared a lot of $1600
And under dacs. I had the ps nuwave there was no way it it better then the Gungnir.the glare most definitely was due to breakin .it is far more advanced .the nuwave at 150 hours was pretty much runin just look at the two parts wise ,no contest in build quality.,breakin .the Gungnir needs a minimum 200 hours just to start to settle in,inreality I gave it a full 2 weeks 350 hours and still
Minute improvements at the 400 hr mark in resolution .digital operates at such a low level power wise that
These devises can take past 400 hours to fully settle in ,depends on size
Of caps ,dacs ,receivers transformers,also a comment vs the Bifrost which is excellent For the money ,even with the usb2 and uber package,it does not have the same clock regeneration as the Gungnir,or as advanced a analog output section To the same degree.the gungnir is a better unit as it should be that extra $300 goes into mainly the parts layout look at the two big transformers
And a dual differential output stage as well as Dual AKM dacs the bitfrost has only one, For better Separation and processing.now you know where the money is going. It weighs a solid 10 lbs. and a bit more resolved,and refined.

Audioman58 - at the end of your post you said "a bit more resolved and refined"

Was that in comparison to the Bifrost?

Was that improvement worth the additional $300 - in your opinion

Thanks
