Purchased one today........ Without the USB...... Will run via Toslink from the Juli@ card.
The only reason why I did this is my current DAC, the Firestone Audio Spitfire, the "Supplier" outboard power supply has had a tendency to fail, and then heat up to dangerously high temperatures. (Hot enough to where I needed a potholder to relocate the unit outside. It also smelled of overheated electronics. The unit is *not* fuse protected.) I've been running a backup "Supplier", but I figure, the failure mode of the product might be too dangerous for indefinite use.
If it turns out I don't like the Bifrost, I might then try alternative power supplies with the Spitfire. But the Bifrost is inexpensive enough to buy prior to audition, and potentially get most of the investment back in the event I don't like it. But as I said, I like the Bifrost design on paper.
