adhoc Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) SOLD Item: Schiit Audio Gungnir DAC gen1 DAC, Australian stock Location: Adelaide, South Australia Price: $650 + shipping ($670 + shipping with cables) Item Condition: Very good Reason for selling: moved to speakers, surplus to requirements Payment Method: If picking up, then cash or bank transfer; Paypal also accepted Extra Info: OK, so if you are here you probably know what this is, but if not, in a nutshell this is a: - Well-regarded, USA-made DAC - 32-bit Delta-sigma D/A converters with Adapticlock™ clock regeneration (VXCO and VCO reclocking for jitter reduction) - Fully 24bit 192kHz capable - Fully discrete analog output stage, with balanced outputs (hardware balanced), and single-ended output (hardware summing) - Fully upgradable digital and analog components* - USB**, SPDIF BNC and RCA coax inputs, and Toslink optical input - 3-pin XLR balanced outputs, x2 seperate single-ended outputs *: The Gungnir gen1 delta-sigma digital component can be upgraded to Gungnir gen2 delta-sigma (better), or Gungnir multibit (best) at A2A **: when I auditioned this amplifier prior to purchasing I felt that the USB input sounded inferior to the BNC and optical inputs, so I opted for a USB-free version; the USB module has since been upgraded significantly and can be added on by A2A A little aside about upgrades: A new (gen2) Gungnir delta-sigma costs $1649. A new multibit Gungnir costs $2130. You could in theory pay an additional $950 at A2A to have this (or any) Gungnir upgraded to a the primo Gungnir multibit DAC with new warranty - bringing you to a total spend of $1600 for what will essentially be a brand new Schiit Gungnir Multibit DAC (with renewed 2 year warranty) instead of $2130. The multibit Gungnir is a serious piece of kit, and would be end-game equipment for most I would think. This Gungnir DAC is in mint condition. It is fully broken in having had >200 hours playtime, and for an extra $20 I will add: - 2x 60cm XLR 3-pin balanced output cables from Blue Jeans cable (Belden 1080F balanced audio cables, Neutrik XLR plugs) [USD$60 new] - 2x 1m RCA LC-1 stereo audio cables from Blue Jeans cable [USD$30 new] You can bundle this with any other item I have for sale for a further $10 off.
