Maybe I just don't wasn't reading very well, but the first couple of posts in the thread left me with the same kind of feeling that I used to get reading IBM product brochures back in working days: OK, it'll revolutionise my business, turn my company data upside down and inside out; make us all into mega managers, but WTF IS IT?

So I looked at Schiit's product page.

Mostly, I'm managing to keep my audiophlia under control. I'm not quite there yet, but, you know, I can handle it. Really. But I can't help worrying about the power supply to my little ODAC, and this little box is only $99 (plus whatever it costs me to get it to India) and $99 is within my budget for experimental toys (The ODAC was an experimental toy that seems to have stuck) so... having read the last and first pages of this thread, I'll browse the other 5. Maybe I'll add to cart  p:3

From everything I've read, I think you should just go ahead and try it out and report back with any changes you find.

Hmmm Not yet available for 230v  :boom:

<a few moments later...>

This, by very prompt email response to my enquiry, from Schiit themselves:

Not yet, we’re still waiting for 230V wall-warts. We should have them in a couple of weeks.

Lol. My post was in jest. Simply testing the waters out here as it was my first post. Also, I did order the Wyrd and do intend on posting as to whether it improved things or not.

yes, post impressions first. -10% improvement would be acceptable. Placebo, I can't hear, this is BS, are also acceptable. we've already found a few instances where it wasn't good.

Lol. Way to treat a new member. I will be sure to pass this hazing with flying colors. It should be delivered on Tuesday, so be sure to tune in by the end of the week. Have your positive reps on standby.

By the way, Purrin, your DAC comparo on headfi is what led me to this site. Quality work, which also pushed me to purchase the Gungnir.
