Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range?


Schitt Gungnir Multibit (Gumby): Does anything beat it in the same price range?

Music Direct offers a 60 day home trial and Schiit offers 14 days. The problem with Schiit is that 14 days is barely enough time to break in the unit, plus they charge a restocking fee.

All DACs are different and all systems are different, so it does take time. Posting on this forum can narrow the selection of DACs, but audition is still the best way to choose.
+1 Ayre Codex DAC.  An excellent high quality DAC from a well known company.  

Gustard X20 Pro (even without mods will beat any Schiit...including $2300 Yggy).  $869 delivered to your door.  Plays DSD and also has digital volume control.....no contest.

A used Gungnir non multibit is about $600, add another $500 to upgrade to multibit.
New, they are $1300 or so.(multibit)
