Gungnir sound before and after multi-bit upgrade?


Would appreciate reading owners' descriptions of what they heard before and after upgrading their Schiit DACs to multi-bit.  What were the sonic benefits?  Mostly interested in effects on the Gungnir but would be interested in comments about Modi, BiFrost or Yggdrasil as well.  

Searched here on A'gon but did not come across anything that clearly addressed before and after sound.  

If this has been discussed and I missed it, my apologies but please link me to it.   

Thanks in advance.

I've read the multibit calms the hot high characteristics. 
That's a good way to put it. I can't speak for the Gungnir but it's true for the Bifrost Multibit. There is a certain rightness, a natural and organic sound quality with the Multibit upgrade. (I know, cliché audiophile-speak, but true nonetheless).

@ghosthouse .. yes, I purchased the Bifrost when they first came out. The 1st time I shipped it back to Schiit was for the Uber Analog upgrade and then again for the Multibit upgrade. The Multibit brought the DAC to another level entirely and was worth every penny. Funny, I have a Chord Qute EX DAC which I love but it's the Bifrost Multibit that remains in my system. Sounds like music.
Can the MB upgrade be done by the owner of a Bifrost?
No, unless they've changed their policy since I had mine upgraded.
