2 USB Input LED.
When this is lit, the USB
input is selected. If you
don’t have a USB card,
you won’t be able to
select this input (it’ll be
skipped.) If you install
a USB Card later, the
Gungnir’s Giga-
Computer Brain™ will
automatically detect the
card and allow you to
select the input. Gungnir
is so smart, it might be
able to beat up your old
TI calculator.

1 Input Select.
Press the button to cycle
through the inputs: USB,
Optical, RCA Coaxial,
and BNC. Only one can
be selected at a time,
unless you ordered the
special Reality Distortion
Field™ option. (Not
available anywhere in
this universe, except
perhaps Cupertino.)
3 Optical Input LED.
When this is lit,
the optical input is
selected. Pretty
simple, huh?
4 Coax Input LED.
When this is lit,
the coaxial input is
selected. You probably
already knew this.
5 BNC Input LED.
And...when this is lit,
the BNC input is
selected. Yeah, we
know.

6 Clock Mode LED
(aka the “Buy Better
Gear Light.”)
When this LED is on, this
means Gungnir cannot
lock to the source with
VCXO regeneration, and
has defaulted to VCO
regeneration. Don’t
panic. What this means
is you’re still getting
re-clocked data, but
the quality is lower,
because the source is
off-frequency. Time to
look for another source.
7 How Come These
Holes Don’t Go
Through?
Hey, you try getting
FCC-friendly radiated
noise on a DAC that has
vents in the cover. Go
ahead, try. But hey, they
look cool, right?
