Hello, i would be interested to know the composition of your actual digital front end and how are you using the Dac ?
with a pc connected to the usb port ?
I looked at your system but did not find an answer.
Thanks a lot.
Kind regards,

I am running a MacBook Pro (older) with audirvana / itunes. I have been using the USB and integer mode on Audirvana. Rips from CD using ALAC. Just getting into HRES, and not sure I want to dive in... My main goal was to deal with the CDs everywhere.
The original USB implementation seems much improved with gen2. The optical sounded pretty good, but now I think this is not the best route.
Audirvana is really nice and definitely makes a difference.
I have some audioquest USB cables that may or may not make a difference.
The sound is pretty darned. Good.
Sorry for the late reply
I have a Mac Mini with a SSD drive. I use my Bifrost in USB and have my music on an external hard drive connected with firewire. I used optical but I don't think it transmits the high res files. At least it didn't with my old DAC. I also use Audivarna. I am very happy with my set up.

Hello no problem and thanks a lot.
Indeed a great dac ... i read the Stereophile review also, maybe it was Gen 1 model.
But the reviews are all so positive that leave no doubt about the sound quality of the unit. Great achievement for Schiit.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,

I have a Bifrost as well. MacBook Pro running Pure Music USB connection to Bifrost. CDs ripped full resolution AIFF. I am experimenting with HiRez also. Sounds great. My previous Scott Nixon DAC also sounded great.
Thanks a lot for the kind reply.
I understand the high quality of the unit.
I guess the results are equally good using every ports (i.e. usb and spdif).

I've only tried USB and optical. Both sound great.
