I would worry about heat dissipation but I could be overly cautious.

If you could find a used DNA Sonnett (discontinued) they were on the smaller side, I think. Starlett/Stellaris/Stratus are 17x14 vs Gungnir’s approx 16x8.75, so that would seem difficult to do/unadvisable. Studio B (so, by extension Balancing Act) is 12x12, so it works with Yggdrasil (about 16x12) but would be difficult with Gungnir. Idk about something like Af.

Looks like Af is about 12x16.5, so that wouldn’t work. Also keep in mind that EC amps have separate PSU’s, although the umbilical with them is usually decently long. I keep my Studio B’s PSU on a separate table. A lot of these amps are also super heavy (mostly because of the OPT’s), not that that would matter too much with the Gungnir but just something to keep in mind.

I have Zana Deux with me and it's too deep to sit on top of DAC and it gets hot like super-hot.
These are not desktop amp, they are rack top amp

The Studio B amp itself actually is not hot to the touch at all (the tubes are a different story though, obviously, especially the 300B’s). The power supply, on the other hand, is very, very warm.

Starlett fits perfectly on a Yggdrasil, not sure about Gungnir though.

I'll second/third that it's better not to stack with such amps.

My Starlett is perched atop a monitor stand with the DAC beneath it

Part of Craig’s design language is that all of his amps are a different size and none of them stack on anything.

EC BlackWidow2 (not tubes) stacks perfectly with Gungnir, but that is the only one I know of

The big-boy amps in this tier need/deserve their own space! Do. Not. Stack!
