    How were you able to isolate the differences down to just the USB inputs? Compared both DACs on SPDIF inputs and then applied the findings over to the differences between DACs, when fed via USB?

    @EagleWings Not as scientific as that. Going off audio memory of BF2 over USB. It may be down to Gungnir having a more robust power supply or the internal clocks, and maybe Gungnir with Unison would sound even more awesome than with Gen V. It’s a totally subjective impression, not useful as a data point.

    Gotcha. Was just curious because I have been trying to do a Unison USB vs Rockna's USB input in a meaningful way. Also, in case you are referring to the Gungnir A1 here, a couple of folks have told me that the Gungnir A1 is more natural sounding than the Bf2 even when both are fed via SPDIF.

    @EagleWings It is an A1. I have had both DACs simultaneously and fed with SPDIF via Pi2AES they sound very close.

    Ah, thanks for this input. I was actually considering replacing my Bf2 with a Gung A1. I guess I’ll just stick with Bf2 for the time being.
