An update for those curious about how this Schiit sounds.
This piece changes on a daily basis, the balance between the lows, mids and highs has continued to shift, bass is more prominent now and it feels like things are balancing and stabilizing. A bigger change is in the sense of coherence of the music- rather than hearing each voice and instrument clearly, the added dimension is the sense that the band is playing together, I am not just hearing instruments isolated in space. The context of the musical presentation is more available, whether the recording was dubbed together in a studio or recorded live with an on-the-fly stereo mix. The other quality I began to hear last night is a sense of inner illumination of the music, the quality I always hear with live music. I am still quite pleased with the Gungnir, and as it continues to unfold I enjoy it more and more. PS- Unit arrived last Thursday afternoon and has been powered up continually since then. I have maybe 30 hours of play time on the unit.

yep - dig the Gungnir!
I have had mine for a couple of weeks. Very impressed.
Compared to my Transporter and my old MSB DAC, its a very nice and obvious step up. Cleaner, yet bigger, better defined sound. Good space around the instruments. I can identify what some strange percussion instruments are made of for the first time. Piano sounds like piano. Thrilling! I think from reading the above I will burn in some more. I probably have 125 hrs on it. |

Welcome!
It can accept a toslink from your box, but 2-channel. It can also accept input from your macmini. Does that help?

I don't have one myself but according to their website it's a BNC/SPDIF input.
