This product is available for pre-order now, with an ETA of early May.
Gungnir 2’s all-new Multiform™ balanced multibit architecture is just the start. Add two USB inputs, including new high-rate Unison 384™, and a completely modular design that debuts Forkbeard™, our unique, patent-pending, multi-product remote interface, and you have a DAC that resets everything you know about digital audio.
Introducing Multiform: True Multibit, Evolved
Gungnir 2 extends our multibit approach with an all-new, balanced multiplying analog stage, coupled to four medical/defense grade DAC8812C D/A converters with our proprietary time- and frequency-domain optimized digital filter implemented on an Analog Devices DSP. Or, choose a true non-oversampling mode (NOS) to bypass our digital filter entirely.
Two Unison USB Inputs, Including Unison 384
Two USB inputs? Yes! Now you can connect a streamer and a PC, or a Mac and a phone, on the same DAC. Plus, Unison 384 accepts bit depths and sample rates of up to 32 bits/384kHz, for native DXD playback capability, or the ability for you to experiment with upsampling.
Modular Autonomy 2…Ready for the Future
A slide-in analog card, completely modular input and processing cards, and over-the-air or SDCard firmware updates means Gungnir 2 is ready for the future—without ever having to come back to us for upgrades. Compare this to other DACs, even DACs costing many times more—only Autonomy provides complete hardware and firmware upgradability.
Forkbeard™: System-Wide Control, Visibility, and Optimization
We saved the best for last—Gungnir 2 also includes the option to add Forkbeard, for system-wide control, visibility, OTA updates, and more. Just plug the Forkbeard module in the back of the Gungnir 2, download the app (iOS only for now), and you’ll have greater visibility and control than you’ve ever had before. And, if you need firmware updates, they’re over-the-air.
