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."
