Yeah…I’m good on amps I think ! 😆 I haven’t really had time to listen much to the Envy yet…enough to know it sounds great though. Tubes are still chiming and ringing…so still burning in. As far as the Folkvangr, I really like it too but haven’t spent enough time with it either to really settle in…been picking up new gear too quickly. I still have more tubes coming in to roll with it. So I’m definitely not done with it yet. My initial thoughts are that they might offer different enough flavors that I would keep both. Maybe a second setup for downstairs?… we’ll see. Time to settle down now and just enjoy the 🎶🎵🎶 ---

Awe Man. You’re doing so well. Just one small bit of advice. Patience. 🙂 Let the tubes settle in and don’t be so quick to roll. Put some solid hrs on those amps. I expect a full report from you in 1 month. Lol. You are in such a great position to hear those terrific amps build character. Tubes to me, are better than any form of EQ’ing. Just my opinion. 😉 ---

Yes, totally stoked!! My DAC is the Bifrost 2/64 and is my next upgrade. I’ve decided on the May but that will have to wait till next year. ---

I mowed through 6 or 7 open-back planars over the past 4-5 years, trying to find the perfect tuning for my tastes. The Final D8000 stopped that search–it’s the one. I have multiple DACs and amps, and I’m getting very fine sound out of this headphone on most of them. It’s a planar, so it appreciates lots of power but is hardly a power-hog like my ZMF Ori (another excellent planar). This is a rather neutral, accurate sound, but it’s not forensic, edgy, lifeless, harmonically thin, or any of the things I often hear from headphones that bring detail and accuracy. It has a slightly warm & musical sound. I upgraded the stock D8K pads to the Pro’s “G” pads, and this improved the sound. I also installed a leather suspension underband, with the help of a friend. The D8000 is a keeper. I’m hoping that someday soon I’ll be able to compare it to ZMF’s new planar, the Caldera, which automatically interests me (because it’s a ZMF, and it’s a planar). ---

I decided to go a different route than the Bifrost 2/64 and instead bought a Gungnir Multibit. I picked it up from the local FedEx store pretty late in the day on Friday so I had to wait until Saturday to unbox it: ![Z62_1572](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/headphones/original/3X/0/9/09a0d25d32ca0d833ff6f2baf265d8e3bc626b70.jpeg) _Box is about twice the size of that which the medium Schiit components ship in._ ![Z62_1578](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/headphones/original/3X/2/3/23a6b2b5d9543f7ba25daf1e04248e61a35ca1ac.jpeg) _In addition to the foam pieces on either end, there’s another one in the center._ ![Z62_1580](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/headphones/original/3X/5/0/5019620d6e9ea1485c28462c7ff8bed4deddf2a8.jpeg) _I think the red dot is to warn you that there’s a BNC connector there._ ![Z62_1585](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/headphones/original/3X/2/1/21e44d75ee3b5ba8a807ace0d9db1db79dc9549c.jpeg) _Unboxed in all its glory with the Ship Canal Bridge and the Space Needle in the background._ ![Z62_1592](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/headphones/original/3X/a/8/a8e7e2161779fcb08906447e36d1d73c73049b27.jpeg) _Artsy black and white photography just because._ I hooked it up to my Lyr+ and RebelAmp (my two office amps), and first impressions are promising with the LCD-X (2021 rev). Bifrost 2 (OG) is going home to join the Asgard 3, leaving the Modius in danger of relegation to the Buy & Sell section. Jotunheim 2 is in limbo as well. Thank god that I don’t have any headphones (that I know of) that will play nice with the Fólkvangr, Vic ---

I know, that’s my worry! There are report of the LCD-2 working with it with the impedance multiplier circuit engaged. 😅 I’m happy with the Lyr+ and RebelAmp so adding the Folkvangr would be primarily a $2,000 FOMO / cool-thing-that-runs-warm purchase (after shipping and tax). That being said, it’s a bit of a limited run item and I could probably sell off the majority of my other office DACs/Amps (Lyr+, RebelAmp, Jot 2, Modius) if it proves to be worth it. If not, well, I’m sure somebody else has a case of FOMO and wouldn’t mind it. But for now, I’m doing my best to ignore those thoughts and focusing on enjoying the music. 🎧 🎶 Regards, Vic ---

Hope you enjoy your Gumby, I can’t imagine you won’t! You’ve got a pretty sweet setup going now 👍 🕶 I’ll be curious what you notice going from Bifrost to Gumby… I got a Yggy OG as an upgrade from BF2, and it is a noticeable and significant improvement. The noise floor is less, greater detail and definition, sweet sounding mids, better bass control and extension, and quite a bit better soundstage vs BF2, at least to my ear But in fairness to BF2, it gets you probably 70-80% of what the Yggy does, which really speaks to what a great DAC and value the BF2 is. After you’ve had some time love to hear how you’re liking it, and how it pairs with your amps. ---

Thanks! Because the LYR+ has two sets of inputs, I was thinking about comparing the two DACs - I’m just waiting on a couple of USB-B to USB-C cables so I can simply the connection to my iPad Pro. I’m pretty sure I’ll like both pairings, it’s just a question of which I’ll like more. This doesn’t even factor in the stack of headphones I have on my desk (HD6XX, Sundara [2020], Elegia, LCD-2 [2022], and LCD-X [2021]). I have a spreadsheet with a tab for each DAC + HPA combinations (songs are rows, headphones are columns) to record my thoughts as I’m rubbish at quick AB testing. Regards, Vic ---

This has been backordered for years, selling for ridiculous prices on discogs, but just finally repressed & repackaged and finally MINE.
