Need a gentle nudge..

Been away for awhile but I'm back at it.

I have a Mcintosh C2300 and MC402 and use it conjunction with a Node 2. I have been looking at the Gungnir for close to a year now but what I can't decide on is the Multibit. I have some "older" Analysis speaker wire, and "cheap" interconnects at the moment, although I am looking to try some "budget" wire world interconnects (digital and audio).

So what I'm getting at is I don't have a super hi-end system by the standard here but it's nicer than the average joe. Do I save a couple dollars and forego the multibit or go all in?

rushca01.......Go all in. Why short change yourself over $400 when adding a new DAC to your system. You will eventually own better interconnects and other components. Then you will be kicking yourself for cutting corners with the delta-sigma DAC in the Gungnir. The multibit version also delivers the same closed-form DSP-based digital filter as Yggdrasil, coupled to four precision Analog Devices AD5781BRUZ digital to analog converters. Worth every penny in my opinion.

I agree with Jim. Your DAC will heavily affect the sound of your system. It’s a worthwhile place to spend what you can and you will never regret buying a better one.

Like you rushca01, I’m running a C2300, but with a pair of MC402. I upgraded my Gungnir to MB with Gen 5 USB and so damn glad I did. I’m considering a Yggdrasil, but I’m still in love with Gumby.

You know, you have a 15-day trial period.

The Yggdrasil is on par with your McIntosh gear, and there is a strong case to be made for keeping gear "on par." Either way you go, Schiit multibit delivers the goods.
