I do wonder if the Gungnir I have may have undergone production changes. FWIW, it's been left on for over several days. It's more likely that the Gungnir's characteristics gel much differently with what I'm using (Fostex speakers and HE-500, both of which have a downward sloping FR and are laid back in the upper midrange around 5k-6k). I believe you guys use HD800s?
I'm sitting here scratching my butt after reading Maxvla's comment damnit.

I did use it sparingly with the LCD-2 when I had it, but the increase was almost not noticeable with the LCD-2, they just can't scale beyond mid-fi gear.I ordered my Gungnir (and Mjolnir) on release day so it was in the first batch. I assume yours is either a preproduction model since you are tight with Jason, or from the first batch as well.
It indeed does go from A to F. Just none of the gear in question deserved a D or F in those categories. And I can rename plenty of more expensive DACs which would have received D's or F's. At worse, anything specific quality as no worse than "average". This is actually a first for me. Nothing sounded bad.
