So many Bifrost threads around these parts ...got me to get off my duff and get some of this good Schiit. I played it for less than a week and so far it is working really fine. The sound appears to resemble the mental image I have garnered after reading related posts. I like it. The previous front end consisted of a Marantz SA15. If you think the Bifrost is heavy on sizzle you have not heard the SA15. That machine will etch a laser tattoo onto your eardrums to the point of enjoying its precision but yearning for more sedation. Here is where the Schiit hits the fan: more coherent, liquid and organic sounding. The frosting on the cake is that it makes me just want to listen to music more. The one caveat that I had is that it was a bit too lame in the upper registers until...I changed one tube in my amplifier. That did the trick. More snap with no sizzle. I really like this thing via USB from the laptop (Jriver and Fidelizer software).

LOL. Great post. This audio thing is a mystery. We seem to be hearing different things from the same DAC.
By the way, yesterday I went to hear Bach's Magnificat live. Sat in the 10th row middle. Excellent performance by the SF Bach choir and orchestra. Great sound but alas, no detail (could not hear the soloists breathing), no imaging even. And no sizzle. Very different from any high end system I've heard. At the end of the day, the best system in my opinion is the one that makes you want to listen to music more, so kudos as you have achieved that with the Schiit.
