RE: Another take on Schiit Bifrost

Wow ... looks like you got a bad one. I have found that the Bifrost has great PRAT, and good treble extension and good bass definition and isn't dry or sterile by any stretch. Noise floor is pretty low (by no means the quietest I have, but the price of deep black silence is about $3-6k).

I have found the SPDIF driven by the SB Touch to be the best of all the interfaces - but it really needs a really good SPDIF cable (True 75 Ohm cable).

But I also found that my Rega DAC sounds un-involving plugged into the Naim Amp I am using - and sounds great plugged in to the Ayre Pre-Amp/Amp I have. The Bifrost is the other way around - Doesn't sound as good in the Ayre as the Naim.

Perhaps Bifrost driving a system like a Naim is the ticket? Don't know.

I think the hype is a bit overblown, but I have found the DAC is pretty darn good.
