Schiit Gungnir 2F

Schiit Gungnir 2F is a Balanced Multiform DAC

The Schiit Gungnir 2F's all-new Multiform balanced multibit architecture is just the start. Add two USB inputs, including new-high unison 384, and a completely modular design that debuts Forkbeard, Schiit's unique, multi-product remote interface, and you have DAC that resets everything you know about digital audio.

Introducing Multiform: Ture Multibit, Evolved. 

Gungnir 2F extends Schiit's multibit approach with an all-new, balanced multiplying analog stage, coupled to four medical/defence grade DAC8812C D/A converters with Schiit's proprietary time and frequency-domain optimised digital filter implemented on an Analog Devices DSP OR choose a true non-oversampling mode (NOS) to bypass the digital filter entirely 

Two Unison USB Inputs, Including Unison 384. 

Two USB inputs? Yes! now you can connect a streamer and a PC, or a mac and a phone, on the same DAC .Plus Unison 384 accept bit depths and samples rates up to 32bits/384Hz, for native DXD playback capability, or the ability for you to experiment with upsampling.

Modular Autonomy 2 Ready for the Future 

A slide-in analog card, completely modular input and processing cards, and over-the-air or SDCard firmware updates means Gungnir 2F is ready for the future-without ever having to come back to Schiit for upgrades. Compare this to DACs, even DACs costing many times more-only Autonomy provides complete hardware and firmware upgradability.

Forkbeard™:Class A indication remote standby and Health Alerts. 

Gungnir 2F includes Forkbeard, A multi-product, multi-stack, unified control system. One IOS app gives you mode visibility (Class A or not), power output, health alerts, remote control of Standby mode, and integrates with many other Schiit products. 

Made in USA

By Made in USA this is what this mean: the vast majority of the total production of Gungnir 2 —chassis, boards, transformers, assembly, etc—comes from US companies manufacturing in the US.. The chassis, transformers, and PCBs are made in California and Gungnir 2F comes together at the San Antonio, Texas production facility. 

With a 5 Year U.K. Warranty

Specs

Distortion: inaudible; 100-1000x lower than any transducer (speaker or headphone) you're using

Noise: inaudible; far below a typical speaker power amplifier

Input capability: accommodates all actual music recordings (upsampling for the heck of it, maybe not), 2 USBs!

Heat: runs moderately warm; this is normal and no need for panic 

Size: suitable for typical stereo shelf or rack placement, not super desk-friendly
