Wow .... not many Schiit haters once the product is given a "real world" audition with time for warm-up (and break in if new). I sure do enjoy my Gumby!
One thing I've noticed now that I've had my Gumby for a few weeks. Files that are overly bright and previously unlistenable, are not so overly bright and definitely not unlistenable through the Gumby. A few that come to mind are rips made from CD's of Don Henley (End of the innocence album), an rip from an older CD of Boston and a rip from an old Kansas CD. Other DACS I've had in my system just sounded so hard and edgy that I didn't like to listen to those CD's - even though I like the music. With Gumby ... they are listenable. This has me scratching my head. Maybe its that super digital filter doing its magic??? Whatever it is - its almost like magic.
