In Reply to: RE: BTW, my Bifrost Mutltibit provides the best air & space I've heard ... posted by Feanor on November 05, 2015 at 05:53:11
Any input from your experience is appreciated. I enjoy my Bifrost U er, but $250 seems like a cheap date, if the SQ change is meaningful.
Thanks

To be sure, I can't directly compare the Uber with the Multibit, however after 30 hours or so of burn-in my conclusion is that the Multibit is better in general but especially in transparency and instrument differentiation. Maybe on the downside I do seem to find that brass instruments, (in particular), played loud can sound a bit more bright or forward
Bifrost Multibit might not be the DAC for everyone, though. It can't be described as warm, and some might find it a bit "dry" in sound although it certainly isn't etched or grainy.
I love the music of Dmitri Shostakovich
I bought the Gungnir Multibit and it took about 350 hours or so for it to reach the OMG level. Since I'm doing computer audio, I could keep signal running through it continuously without wearing out a transport. Mike Moffat's implementation of multibit with the AD chips and the closed form filter are, as far as I know, unique to the industry; he is a genius. It would appear that the Bimby, Gumby and Yggy that are designed to provide increasing degrees of goodness (is that an audiophile term?) in correlation to the $$ you're willing to pay. The word from folks who have auditioned and measured all three units say the Bimby is an awesome performer at it's price point and that one can easily find satisfaction at that level. The Gungnir and the Yggy offer increasing levels of resolution. I'm very very pleased with the Gumby.
When I listen to brass in person, they are bright and forward. (I am a Sousa fan.) If they don't sound that way in my system, something is wrong. You post makes me very interested in hearing the Bifrost Multibit.

... that the Bifrost Multibit is reproducing brass sound accurately. Brass certainly can be bright and the "Bimby" is not exaggerating it.

I use digital domain EQ
