Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

I didn't get the USB option with mine.

Tonight I listened for several hours using the TV system: Logitech Revue playing Rhapsody (192 kb/sec) HDMI to TV, TV optical digital out to Bifrost, Bifrost analog out to Nuforce Icon Amp driving Polk R300 speakers.

I believe the Bifrost has now been broken in. I owe it to my wife, she watched a 71-episode Korean drama after I put the Bifrost in the TV audio system. Now the Bifrost sounds clearer and more detailed than than using the DAC in the TV. In the beginning I preferred the TV DAC to the Bifrost but not now. The slight initial brightness is gone (unless it's on the recording), the midrange and bass have fully developed. It's a beautiful sound, clear and detailed. The little Icon amp is also doing an impressive job.

I haven't tried it again with the Stax headphone system now that it's broken in, but I think I may leave it in the TV system since that's where I mostly listen to music.
