Comparing Bel Canto and Schiit DACs

@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...

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. 

Gdhal True Iam getting use on the sound, what I mean by getting better and better everyday is , it opens up more, like bass, highs, a bit of extension , it becomes more clearer, this Gumby is good, I can sense analog touch on the sound...

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.

I'm sure the Gumby is competent, but I have a hard time believing that it is 90% of the Yggy. Very hard. 

Not to harp on this point, but for anyone interested, Bel Canto historically produced (very good) tube products, built around the human voice. They stopped building tube products, and now they create units with Class D. No, its not all tube-sounding, and I would not want it to be. But "musical", natural, fast, and "involving" would be proper descriptors.
