No, I did not get the USB option. My sources available are a Squeezebox (coax or optical out), Roku 2, Logitech Revue or Sony BluRay player, all HDMI. So only the Squeezebox can be directly connected to the Bifrost, the rest have to run through the TV and I have two choices, use the DAC in the TV and connect the analog outs to the amp (this, surprisingly, yields very nice sound), or take the optical out to the Bifrost, then analog connection to the amp.

I originally intended to use the Squeezebox/Bifrost combo feeding a Stax SRS2050II system, but the combination seems pretty bass-shy. I'll try it again after a full burn in, and also get a coax cable to try that input vs optical. If I'm not satisfied with the headphone sound I will leave it in the TV system and use it there. I'm away from my main system for a while so can't try the Bifrost there.
