    Schiit Audio Bifrost 2

    I got the Bifrost 1 unison USB upgrade in the mail today. It arrived quickly unlike the Bifrost 2/64, which...never arrives. The unison USB upgrade was pretty easy to install. I think I'm content with this. It's too bad because Schiit could have made $800+ off of me if they didn't have supply...

    Schiit Audio Bifrost 2

    Speaking of that, it looks like I’ll have to opt for a Bifrost 1 Unison upgrade since Bifrost 2 is delayed until the end of time. RIP

    Schiit Audio Bifrost 2

    Nooo, the Bifrost delay is showing up as 10 to 12 weeks on their website again! I'm worried I won't get it until June, and I'll be going on a long vacation by then. RIP

    Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread

    I was thinking of getting a Lyr+ to complement the Bifrost 2/64 that I recently ordered, but the negative reports are making me hesitant. I could get the Topping A90D instead, but I saw a few reports saying Lyr+ is better. I guess it might be worth rolling the dice as long as there's a...

    Schiit Audio Bifrost 2

    My credit card arrived in the mail yesterday. I made the purchase. Hopefully the delay doesn't become worse again. I asked Schiit if the delay was subject to change, and they just told me they're experiencing delays (no direct yes/no response). I guess they don't know how long it'll actually...

    Schiit Audio Bifrost 2

    I just looked again and it's back down to 3-5 weeks. Argh, my credit card is still on the way!

    Schiit Audio Bifrost 2

    Looks like Bifrost 2 (and Modi Multibit for that matter) is experiencing delays. I was just about to pull the trigger on it when I saw the delay increase. I’m trying to minimize the damage of buying the Bifrost by meeting a credit card signup bonus, but the 10-12 weeks windows is borderline with...

    Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread

    Yes, I'm aware of that, but I figured there's more than one person using IEMs in addition to their main headphone. I'm thinking of using a Magni+ to go off my future Bifrost 2/64 and then use that Schiit switcher to alternate between the Lyr+ feeding my HD 650s and the Magni+ feeding my FA9s.

    Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread

    By the way, are there any other people using Lyr+ with IEMs? I did a search in this thread, and there wasn't much discussion on it. I wouldn't primarily use this for IEMs, but it'll be nice to switch off when my head gets tired of being squished by the HD650s. I have a Fiio FA9, which has an...

    Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread

    Cool beans! I asked about going from Bifrost 1 Multibit to Bifrost 2/64 in the other thread. I'm curious as to how big it is of a jump paired along with Lyr+.

    Schiit Lyr+ : Impressions Thread

    Has anyone here gone from a Valhalla or Valhalla 2 to Lyr+? I have ye olde Valhalla and am wondering if I should upgrade to Lyr+. I know in the past, the Valhalla line was considered better than the Lyr line for HD 650, but it looks like Schiit hasn't made any upgrades to the Valahlla line lately.

    Schiit Audio Bifrost 2

    I've owned my Bifrost 1 for about 10 years now and upgraded it along the way. It's a Multibit with gen 2 USB now. I'm wondering if I should take the plunge and upgrade to 2/64. I'm running it with a Valhalla 1, so I might upgrade that to either Valhalla 2 or Lyr+. Using it with my HD 650s, which...

    The NEW Headphone Lounge Thread

    Here is a picture of three T2 silver litz cables that I have. On the left is the UM Pro 50. The middle one is a balanced cable that I use for the HD 650 when I want to hook it up to the Fiio X7 (portable option). On the right is the cable currently connected to the HD 650 and Schiit Valhalla...

    FiiO’s Upgraded Bluetooth Amplifier BTR1K: Qualcomm QCC 3005 BT chip, BT 5.0 and aptX /aptX LL/AAC supported, RGB light, NFC pairing, Type C and USB DAC

    I'm interested in this product, but I'd like to make sure I know how it works. Let's say I have an X7 in DAC mode attached to my computer. Would I be able to hook up my UM Pro 50s to this and use bluetooth to connect to the X7? I've been looking for a bluetooth option so I can move back and...

      I got the T2 silver cable recently. You can see it next to the T1 cable. The T2 looks nicer, but that's partly due to the T1 getting old...

    Oh man, I finally replaced my pads after 5 years. I didn't know pads were supposed to feel so different! Probably should have changed them out 2 years ago...

    Jeez, I don't even know any audiophiles in my city. I'm sure they exist, but what are the odds of finding someone with just a regular Bifrost? Haha. I really don't want to just throw it away, though. It did serve me well...

    By the way, I guess the upgrade to Bifrost Multibit ended up with Schiit packaging what's probably the Bifrost Uber board. Do people actually buy these things? I mean it's not 4490, so it's already outdated. Do I just toss this?

      I keep on hearing about how amazing the Bottlehead Crack is. I wish I could try it out. I can't exactly make it. In fact, I haven't had access to this setup much because I've been traveling. Kinda scared to bring it along in my luggage. TSA might think it's a bomb...

    I've finally gotten around to upgrading my Bifrost Uber to Bifrost Multibit after owning it for 3 years. I can't exactly do an A/B test to tell the differences between the two, but it sounds pretty fabulous! As much as I'd like to upgrade from my Valhalla, I don't know if the 2 would be worth it.

    X7 (DAC) -> Schiit Valhalla -> HD 650 is pretty fab too. I'll see how the X7's DAC compares to the Schiit Bifrost Multibit hopefully by the end of this week (in the shop getting upgraded).

    I guess the DAC function is still clunky on the latest beta FW. I left it on for a while and went out while my Macbook was off. Then I came back and turned on the laptop with my X7 still on. Both OSX and Windows 10 couldn't put out sound until I restarted the X7.

    I haven't tried the AM5, but the AM3 balanced is decent with the HD 650.

    With the latest firmware, music scan on the regular player takes a long time. It has never been this slow for me in previous firmware.

    With the new beta, using DAC function on my Macbook Pro doesn't seem so broken now. I'll update if things change, but it seems to be improved. I was actually able to plug in my X7 without distortion on startup.
