Schiit Audio Bifrost 2
Thought I would post my impressions of the Bifrost 2/64: So, I got my AudioQuest Cinnamon USB-B to USB-C cable for free because Amazon was way past the delivery date and offered to do a refund. I got my refund but the cable was also delivered the day I got my refund. I contacted Amazon and they...- Quiz

Thanks. Do we know if the Saga 2 will have a tube? Also, how do the Kara and Freya+ compare?- Quiz

If we ignore the price difference, would you pick the Saga+ or the Kara as a preamp for powered studio monitors with the Bifrost 2/64 as the DAC?- Quiz

Thanks. Does the tube in the Saga+ degrade slowly over time (thus slowing degrading the sound quality over time) or is it more of a "it's working or it's not" situation? Also, how long does the tube last before it needs to be replaced?- Quiz

Could someone state what the purpose of the tube in the Saga+ is? If I am not mistaken, it is used as a "buffer." Is there a difference between using a tube as a buffer (what does that mean?) vs. in some "traditional" sense?- Quiz

Thanks for all the responses. With the Bifrost 2/64, and if I am talking about sound quality alone, which would be better? The Saga+ or the Midgard? Also, would either of these preamps "change" the sound quality of the Bifrost 2/64?- Quiz

Between the Saga+ and Midgard, which would be better as a preamp for the Bifrost 2/64 and some JBL LSR305 studio monitors? What makes the Saga+ more expensive than the Midgard and will there be any sound quality differences?- Quiz

Same here. I received my Bifrost 2/64 on April 21, 2024 and has been left powered on since. I noticed a massive improvement after 2-3 days from when I first powered it on and used it. By the way, is it true I should leave it powered on 24/7?- Quiz

Guess I got lucky. Schiit accepted to cancel the order even though they had already shipped it.- Quiz

So, I ordered a Sys before knowing any of this info. It's already on the way. I contacted Schiit requesting them to cancel the order. However, they said that I'll have to pay the restocking fee (unless I purchase a product higher up on the line before they process my refund) and return shipping...- Quiz

Thanks. So the Saga+ would be better in active mode vs. passive mode when used with powered studio monitors?- Quiz

I've been told that studio monitors have an input impedance of, normally, 10k ohms and the Sys has an output impedance of maximum 5k ohms. They said the following: Is this true? Even the Saga+ (in passive mode) has a maximum output impedance of 4.8k ohms.- Quiz
