That's good news, thanks ghosthouse!!
Gumby vs Yggy
So I recently tried a Schiit Gumby and was somewhat disappointed that it really didn’t sound much better than my Arcam irdac. I’m sending it back and was wondering if the Yggy would be a more significant upgrade. Perhaps my system isn’t revealing enough to appreciate the difference. I’ve downsized from B&W 801 S2, Threshold amp, Theta pre to my current setup: SVS Ultra bookshelves, Parasound amp and Schiit Saga pre.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

ya got to keep rubbing it in about the Yggy gdhal lol@treynolds155 Sorry for the misunderstanding. Only because I cannot say/write with first hand experience about how the Gungnir sounds and you wrote "...something about the sound that I can't put my finger on", did I mention the Yggy sounding authentic. And, I have little doubt your Gungnir also sounds authentic. I was merely "piggybacking" on your experience. I apologize if anything I wrote offended you in any way. |
treynolds155 OP7 posts12-28-2017 5:52amSorry, thought Gumby implied multibit. I’ve read several reviews comparing the Arcam as being very close to the Gungnir ds so I was actually thinking they mislabeled this as a Gumby. From what I've read, you've still not cleared up if you got the standard Delta Sigma Gumby, at $849usd or paid extra for the upgraded R2R Multibit Gumby at $1249usd If you got the standard $849 Gumby, then yes the Yaggy will blow it away, if you got the $1249 Gumby the Yaggy will still be better but not as much. Cheers George |
+1 to georgehifi's comments, treynolds... Glad George asked for clarification on which Gungnir you have. Sorry, thought Gumby implied multi bit. Based on that earlier reply gdhal, I think you do but am not completely certain. Having lived with the Gungnir for a couple of years before sending it in for the MB mod, I was very surprised by the transformation it produced. Some of the better $ spent. As an owner then, I'm interested in the experience of others. |
gdhal, no offense at all, was just teasing ;-) sorry if it came across as anything but!! The Gungnir I bought was multibit, most refer to this model as the Gumby. I think I'm going to pop the cover off to verify what board is inside. The tiny sticker on back does say it's multibit but there really is no way to tell from the outside. |
