Comparing Bel Canto and Schiit DACs

I’ve just picked up a brand new Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby). The company only gives you 15 days for in-home trial before you lose the opportunity to return it. As it’s not quite broken in yet, does anybody know how it may compare to for instance a similarly priced used Bel Canto DAC 2.7 once broken in?

OP, 15 days is plenty of time for the evaluation. Despite what others may have you believe, it doesn’t need days on end of break-end. Don’t just take my word for it, ask Schiit.

Yes, glad to read things are working out to your expectations. That said, my personal belief is that the Schiit DAC products do *not* need the extensive burn in period that most users typically report. It could be that your perception of it "getting better and better every day" is nothing more than your getting used to the sound. Nothing wrong in that though, as my experience is that the sound is terrific, authentic, etc. 

FWIW and just my .02 regarding Gumby vs Yggy prior to my purchasing the Yggy I asked Schiit what the difference is. They replied that only the power supply was the differentiator . However, if you check the specs on their website the two use different DAC chips, with different bit depth capability.
