Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range?

The Yggy and the Codex sounded the same on my system.

limniscate,

Maybe they are the same :))     ......... probably no?

I opened a thread about Museatex Bitstream being the best DAC I have heard. So, although most of you will find it odd that I am recommending a 25-year old DAC, I can say that you have to try it before you say anything. I can't believe how musical and organic this DAC is. Hard to find it though. About $400.

So, Have you compared to any of the dacs mentioned in this thread? If so, how do they compare?

Although I did not compare to Gungir, I have compared to other Schiit DACs such as Bifrost. I also heard DCS DACs and recently heard Gustard X20 Pro and owned various DACs including Chord Mojo. 

Bitstream is the only DAC that gives me the analog LP like sound. It is detailed but not bright. The instruments sound real. I am more into music with this DAC other than trying to criticize my system while listening. To me that is a good indication.
