Yes you are - Gumby = [Multibit]

So I am seeing a lot of people stating that they are getting the gumby to use with their Valhalla's or other smaller/single ended amps.  My question is why get the gumby? Why not wait till the MB bifrost? Am I missing something?

Multibit Bifrost likely won't come until next year, so that's a bit of a wait. Reports from others (by way of Redacted^2 commentary from Marv and others) have described the prototypes as warm but resolving. Note its position on the DAC chart under the Master 7 with current USB.

A lot of people wanted something closer to Yggy's tonality and technicalities but for a cheaper price.

Others were just impatient and wanted a bad-ass upgrade just because.

Others still already owned a Gungnir - making the upgrade a no-brainer.

Plus, hey, balanced outputs for Mojo2 or the Cavalli Liquid Carbon and multiple outputs period. Just a nice bonus.

These are my reasons to get a Gumby. Not sure how prevalent Source Selection is on DACs but that was also something I needed and found in the Gumby.

Once I heard about the Yggy trickle down, I targeted one of those. The Gumby was a little bit out of the price range I wanted to pay, but I'm glad I did. It is the only separate DAC that I own. So no getting a crapload of lesser DAC's that I would have to sell in order to get one of what I wanted.

Stillhart compared the DAC-19 and Gumby on his Liquid Carbon. He preferred the Gumby if you go balanced and DAC-19 if you use single-ended. But that's one amp.
