Switched from Yggdrasil to Gungnir Multibit.

Based on accounts of the Gungnir sounding more "mellow" than the Yggdrasil,  and reports that the latter takes months to deliver, I've switched my order.
i currently own a vintage Theta Pro Prime DAC that similarly has a more "romantic" presentation, and think I'll be happier with the Gungnir.  From what I've read, it's close to the Yggy in terms of definition, and for the price it's remarkable. (Although price was not a prime consideration.)
I'll have 15 days to change my mind.  That's barely enough break in time to make an informed decision, but it'll have to do.
Any opinions?

I had the Gumby and loved the sound.  My digital source is a Mac mini going to an Audiophilleo 2 USB/spdif converter with battery. The only reason I sold the Gumby was because every time tracks changed or there was a temporary loss of signal, I would get the click sound. This was absolutely unacceptable to me. It was a shame because I really liked the DAC.
Maybe it was a blessing in disguise because now I have the Metrum onyx. It's my fifth Metrum over the years and I absolutely love it.
