The Schitt Bifrost Dac does not belong in this thread about NOS DACs.
The Bifrost is a standard Delta Sigma DAC and as such it oversamples. What the Bifrost does not do is upsample before oversampling.
I have heard NOS DACs and I find them generally to be excellent sounding components. So I guess if you get terrible measurements but excellent sound then you are measuring the wrong things?
BTW, I own a Bifrost. It is a terrific sounding DAC for the money. Running my laptop with JRiver 17 through Toslink SPDIF into the Bifrost was a simple and inexpensive way to get pretty good digital sound from my system.
