Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade?

@dlcockrum

Thanks Dave. I appreciate your well articulated response. To be honest, it was the feedback from you and some others on this forum that helped guide my decision to the Yggy versus any other DAC. I realize there are alternatives, however, I do want multibit and I don’t recall if there is any viable alternatives *at the price point of the Yggy*. I’d prefer to not cancel at this point.

I can and do remain patient, but I just can’t understand why Schiit cannot provide realistic dating. Updating their website every two weeks by pushing out the date another two weeks seems to be their normal modus operandi.

@gdhal - 

Just today ordered an Eitr USB/SPDIF converter from Schiit.  Placed the order around 9:30AM (my time - 3 hrs ahead of Calif) and got an email from Schiit right at noon saying my order had shipped.  Was picked up by USPS 2:40 this afternoon.  

Truly sorry for your long wait...but I'm guessing it's for a legitimate reason and not incompetence on their part.  Hope the Yggdrasil is worth the wait.  By all accounts, I expect it will be.

gdhal,

Glad to at least add some clarity. A couple of things: One, I never heard and therefore never recommended (or at least never intended to recommend) the Yggrasil. I would personally go in a different direction. Two, I was quite clear in explaining why Schiit likely cannot give you a solid ship date.

@ghosthouse

Thank you for the encouraging words. Appreciated.

@dlcockrum

Understood. I realize you have an "Exogal Plus DAC with their power supply upgrade". As I previously stated, it was the feedback from you and some others on this forum that helped **guide** my decision to the Yggy versus any other DAC. In the aforementioned context of the word, guidance can be direct, indirect, for or against it.

Consider the considerable back-and-forth communication you and I had in the following thread. I do consider all of your responses informative, genuine and well articulated.

Ok gdhal.

Pissed at Schitt. Pissed at Oppo. Pissed at me.
