RE: Another take on Schiit Bifrost

I think the Bifrost may have been voiced with the Schiit Lyr tube headphone amp. I had taken the Lyr out of the playback loop as it appeared to be slightly "rolling off" the high frequency response of my SACD playback on my Oppo 95 . The SACDs still sounded detailed but they were sounding more like the CD playback (also pretty exceptional)from the Oppo. DSD sounds a little different then PCM. PCM hi freq. is just a bit more etched. The decay of DSD notes while distinct fade more naturally into silence. Granted I've never heard state of the art PCM playback.

I placed the Lyr back in after the Bifrost & now my PCM music(being played from a hard drive into a Cambridge Audio Network Player into the Bifrost)is sounding closer to DSD. I think I like the sound of my CDs dBPa ripped to my Hard Drive better than them being played on a optical drive. They appear to be a little more immediate & smoother sounding.

The Oppo will remain on the preamp I had it on. I will continue to use two dedicated source specific playback paths as this seems to work for me at this time(or unless I find a magic wallet to fund my new system additions)
