Comparing Bel Canto and Schiit DACs
I've just picked up a brand new Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby). The company only gives you 15 days for in-home trial before you lose the opportunity to return it. As it's not quite broken in yet, does anybody know how it may compare to for instance a similarly priced used Bel Canto DAC 2.7 once broken in?
Thanks.
Thanks.

@jayctoy Glad things are working out. You do what you are comfortable with, of course but FWIW I leave the Gungnir on 24/7. Apart from the very infrequent need to unplug it briefly for a move or whatever, it's been on for months and months...years even. I tend to leave all my solid state gear powered up but muted and/or volume turned all the way down when not in use. See post #874 on this thread... https://www.head-fi.org/threads/new-schiit-ragnarok-and-yggdrasil.667711/page-441 |
@jayctoy Yes, glad to read things are working out to your expectations. That said, my personal belief is that the Schiit DAC products do *not* need the extensive burn in period that most users typically report. It could be that your perception of it "getting better and better every day" is nothing more than your getting used to the sound. Nothing wrong in that though, as my experience is that the sound is terrific, authentic, etc. |
If it’s true Gumby is 90% of yagdrassil , maybe that’s the reason why is so good...after four days , Iam really impressed on this Gumby, is it worth to get me onother yagdrassil for $2399 for my main system or just sticks with Gumby.The thing I like about Gumby is the analog sound and more,it has big sound stage on my system. |
