Switched from Yggdrasil to Gungnir Multibit.


Based on accounts of the Gungnir sounding more "mellow" than the Yggdrasil,  and reports that the latter takes months to deliver, I've switched my order.
i currently own a vintage Theta Pro Prime DAC that similarly has a more "romantic" presentation, and think I'll be happier with the Gungnir.  From what I've read, it's close to the Yggy in terms of definition, and for the price it's remarkable. (Although price was not a prime consideration.)
I'll have 15 days to change my mind.  That's barely enough break in time to make an informed decision, but it'll have to do.
Any opinions?

RV, I think some of that is bunk. 
At the minimum, I would leave the DAC on 24/7.
At the maximum, I would let it play at moderate levels 24/7.

I definitely noticed my Ayre Codex and Schiit DAC's open up after a few days.

Got the Gungy Multibit. Wow!  Right out of the box, the sound is a big improvement over my old Theta. I can only guess how good it will sound when broken in.
Big problem though. According to Schiit, there is a "clicking" sound when loading a CD or when manually changing tracks.  Rather than  a click, I'm getting a very loud pop from the speakers which is very disconcerting!  I don't know if I can live with it on an ongoing basis.  I may have to consider the Yggdrasil, but I'm not sure if the pop is there too.

You will/should experience the same clicking with the Yggy. I've been waiting on a Yggy (on order for over two months now). However, I asked (email) their tech support the specific question surrounding the issue you mention, as some others have mentioned the relay noise (clicking) as well. The following is their (Nick T) response:

"The Yggdrasil doesn't trigger on silence itself, it triggers on the loss of signal. If the CD Player outputs silence but maintains the stream that will be fine, however if your CD Player actually stops the stream entirely then you will get the click. Different CD Players behave differently."

Just out of curiosity, what is the benefit of this design to trigger a relay when loss of signal is detected? Never heard such a thing before.
