Just how good is the uber upgrade for the bifrost? I'm just running tge standard at the moment...but I am curious... Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk

Hi All! I recently bought a Schiit Lyr + Bifrost combo and have been having some trouble with an apparent ground loop in the circuit. I have purchased a ground loop isolator, and this appears to have resolved that issue, however, I am now getting EM interference from the Lyr into the isolator...

Thanks for the info...   Killer is that I'm in an apartment block, so trying to get the cause fixed will be near to impossible....   Hum-x here I come I guess...

Hey guys/girls   Still having problems with the hum on the Bifrost/Lyr combo.  A couple of updates...   - Checked the wall sockets with a receptacle tester - no issues. - Plugged the gear into different wall sockets - no difference. - Tried different interconnects - No difference.   A...

OK - I've changed the interconnects - no difference - even ran the left channel through one and the right through another and there was no discernible difference in level - given that they were widely differing in quality, I'm guessing I can cross those off as a problem...   didn;t get a...

Thanks John57... Anyone know where I can get something similar in Australia? Sydney, to be exact...

Thanks for the comprehensive advice. I'll see if I can hunt down a tester today. Also going to try changing out the interconnects to see if there's any change. After that, power conditioner... Anyone have any experience with the Monster HDP1750G

Ahh - gotcha   OK - disconnected the USB from the DAC - still humming...   so the only thing that completely kills the hum is unplugging the inputs from the Lyr...   I've found a place about 20 min up the road from work that has a Furman AC210 in stock - will a power conditioner help?  ...

I'm actually running the DAC through USB. If I change the input the hum doesnt change...

That's a lot of info, and I am honestly not sure I understand it all...   Do you think that a power conditioner will resolve the hum?  and...   Does anyone know where I can pick up a decent one in Sydney??   Thanks!

Ok - if I remove the DAC from the wall plug the hum reduces, but is still there...   Shifted the DAC plug from the wall socket to a power board I have for my other stereo components and it stays at the reduced level.   Still annoying, but slightly less so...

I'll have to look into this...what are these worth?       No power bricks near the units - closest one is a good 1.5m away.   No cable TV - I did unplug the aerial connection - no change.   Went through and progressively unplugged all other nearby electronics, no change.   No change...

Hi all!   I recently purchased a Lyr + Bifrost (with USB Gen2 upgrade) combo along with a set of LCD-2's   Whilst the SQ is on a whole other level to anything I've owned before in the head-fi domain, there is a constant underlying hum in the output to the headphones.   I think this may be...

Hi all   I'm planning on buying myself a pair of LCD-2.2 shortly, and have accepted that my Aune T1 won't have the power to drive the LCD-2's, so was thinking of the Schiit Lyr Amp to get the power.   My question is, I am also weighing up the Schiit Bifrost DAC, but I want to know if this...

Hi all...   resolved the issue - just needed to insulate the DC Jack from the metal case the amp board was in...a little carefully placed heatshrink and a couple of rubber o-rings I had around and it works perfectly!   I don't understand the reasoning behind this causing the op-amp to...

Hi all   First post here, but I’ve been lurking for the last few weeks digesting information… I am very new to the DIY audio thing, and I have just finished building a cMoy headphone amp from the instructions at http://www.tangentsoft.net, and yesterday tried to add a little tweak by...

Hi all - Been having a bit more of a look around the interweb about this question...   I know that the Momentums don't NEED an amp to get the drive they need, they are only 18 ohm after all.   I'm not necessarily looking for power, more quality improvement.   Any thoughts anyone may...

Hi All!   New blood here :)   I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser Momentum cans (which are great!) and I'm thinking of picking up a headphone amp to go with them.   I have been considering one of the Ray Samuels amps - either the P51 or the Shadow...   Mainly just running off...
