Seems so. Make like Smaug and hoard your treasure.

I thought still could get a Gungnir at some point dang

I was wondering about this as well and the reasoning behind it. I assume cost (parts and perhaps labor in manufacturing). Is there a SQ claim as well? (I don't read Jason's HF blog)

Someone called it a rip off. And I just thought, “What’s the difference? Either you like how it sounds or you don’t.”

Modi Multibit 2 still has the 2-FET buffer that Yggdrasil OG had. Doing 8 discrete actual gain stages for current-output multiplying DACs (4 phases, 4 references) is not in the cards given space and current requirements.

I don't know many pro audio DAC's that are discrete output. I know those are DS, but still.

But I thought the TI chips take less mA to run them @schiit, at least if I am reading the datasheet correctly. And still no room/power for a discrete I/V and op amp buffer?
