GETTING STARTED
1. Connect Gungnir to your source and your amp or preamp. You'll
need a set of XLR or RCA cables to connect the Gungnir's outputs
to your amp or preamp, and a digital cable or cables (coaxial BNC
or RCA, Toslink, or USB) to connect your sources.
2. If you are using USB and have a Windows computer, you may
need to download drivers. Many newer Windows computers will
automatically install the correct drivers, though, so it's best to sim-
ply plug the Gungnir in via USB and see if it does so. If it doesn't,
our drivers are available at schiit.com/drivers
3. If you are using a computer source, ensure it is set to output to
the Gungnir. Sometimes PCs and Macs get confused and want to
use internal speakers, or your powered USB headset, or whatever.
Plus, you need to select the Gungnir via Control Panel or System
Preferences and via your music player software—many types of
music players can override the output specified in the OS.
4. Select your source using the button on the front panel. And
enjoy your music!
ABoUt UPGRADEs
Gungnir is upgradable via modular DAC/Analog and USB Input
Cards. Upgrades can be purchased on the Schiit website. All cards
must be added or changed by authorized service personnel. Some
cards may require firmware changes from the factory.
USB Card. When significant changes happen to USB technology, we
can easily keep pace with an updated USB input card.
DAC/Analog Card. We'll announce selected upgrades when there
have been significant changes in technology—or, in other words, we
won't be starting a D/A chip-of-the-month club.
When it's time for your upgrade, and it has to come back to us, the
Schiit Upgrade Queueing system ensures you can keep your DAC
until the moment we're ready to do the upgrade and turn it around
fast. When you order an upgrade, you'll be automatically added to
the queueing system.
If you'd like to be the first to know about upgrades as they become
available, sign up on the SPAM link on our site.
