Getting 3 Gumbies for surround sound (why 6?) seems like a fun idea, but how would you tackle getting HDMI > 6 separates? and then all of the other amps.

I think the guy made 2 speakers with an active XO with 6 x I2S outputs.
These go to Gumbys and then to amplifiers.

So a stereo system with 3way speakers actively XO'ed.
In front of it he has 3 Wyrds in series.

I reckon he bought 3 wyrds expecting to need one for each Gumby thinking he would go USB ?

I think he was using a miniDSP module? Or was it a modded Behringer DCX2496?

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

This is a joke, right?
No, not a joke. However, I was wrong about the 6 Gumbies. He has 5 DACs in his system. 2 DACs for each treble channel. 2 DACs for each mid-channel. 1 DAC for bass. He intends to have 5 Gumbies, but I think he has 4 Gumbies and a Gungnir Gen2.

Yes, as Solderdude says, he has active XO's, which is like a dream. Not sure how many speakers are in each of his custom tower speakers, though.

add another one, for $400....


It's usb 3.0 as well so we can play back all our 40 bit 1556khz content, just what ive been waiting for!

It even has the magic separated ports for power and data even though they still connect together at the end before going into the DAC! )(

banishes ALL USB audio gremlins

Really? Don't those fools realise that for every gremlin banished, a thousand more spring to life? Probably in their own marketing department...

You've spent thousands of dollars on that Audioquest Diamond USB cable and Chord Hugo DAC for a sub-$1K audio-gd amp?

To disprove Bit are Bits or USB cables don't matter:



LOL, you might want to see some of this guy's videos, I'm not sure you two are on the same wavelength here.

Sorry for the intrusion, please go back to jerking off over eye pattern graphs.
