anyone have experience with both the Schiit Gungnir Multibit and PS Audio DirectStream


Does anyone have experience with both the Schiit Gungnir Multibit and PS Audio DirectStream DAC? I currently have the Gungnir. It’s a very good DAC, but there are some things I don’t like about it, such as the annoying (to me) click it makes between tracks. For that reason and a desire for even better sonic quality, I’m considering replacing it with the DirectStream. My system is built around a McIntosh MA7900 integrated amp, Roon Nucleus (ethernet connection), good cables and power cords, and Salk Song Tower speakers (Song3 Encore speakers on order, 7 months and counting). I’d be interested in comments from anyone with experience with both DACs. Thanks!

I have the Gumby and do not experience the relay click between tracks. It does click when I first play a new source, but not between tracks. This would be a function of your streamer. I have used a Pi, Node 2i and Sonos Connect, no clicks between tracks.
