I kept mine.  And I'm really glad I did because my Uber board stopped working the other day.  I thought my Bifrost was toast, but the old board worked just fine.  Anyway, Schiit is replacing it... But im glad i kept it!

Quote:   Well my mobo has optical spdif.. however it's not bit-perfect which is what i'm really looking for.  I heard coax has less jitter than optical so i'd prefer to stay with that.  You think i should look into more content creation cards?

I currently have a Creative X-fi xtrememusic that uses digital coax to output a bit perfect signal to my schiit bifrost.  It works great and I have enjoyed the card since about 2006.. however i'm looking to upgrade my box to SLI (dual graphics cards) which effectively blocks the PCI slot I use...

So i've had the Uber upgrade for nearly 2 months now, very happy with it.  What made it sound its best was getting a good spdif cable.  I was using a chincy radioshack digital coax for years, always under the impression that bits are bits.  I decided to give the BJC digital coax a try after...

Just installed the uber upgrade on my Bifrost.  My rig is Bifrost -> MAD Ear + Purist HD -> Vintage RS1's.  Immediate difference is there's more bass slam and the mids seems a bit more forward.  My tubes aren't even warmed up yet, however the increase in bass is welcome.  I'm excited to see this...

X-fi xtreme music digital coax out -> Schiit Bifrost -> Mapletree Ear Purist HD+ with NOS preamp tubes -> Vintage Grado RS-1   I say the source is the most important part.  Junk In - > Junk Out

So i decided today to sell a my LAN-modded Zhalou D2 and my K701's to a buddy of mine interested in getting into hi-fi. So now I'm just sitting here with my RS-1's and my mapletree ear+purist HD. I've been out of the loop of things for 3 years now. I was wondering if someone here could...

My ladyfriend bought me my first scent around jan. this year Armani Code i really enjoy it, so much better then axe these college age kids wear

i used to be a bowls only man on my rs-1's.. i thought that the flats mad everything so muddy and awful. but then i did some tube rolling which made the flats sound perfect to my ears

RS-1's for me plus, they sound good to boot

definitely. I find that music sounds better to me in the evening and night then when i first wake up. plus theres some days where my set up doesnt sound hifi at all

k701 sounds gread with my mapletree, so do my rs-1's :P

June 23rd 1989 "Satisfied" by Richard Marx

Because i never thought that it was possible.. a few years back i bought various earbuds and everything, i wasn't that happy with them and thinking, "well, i guess nothing is better then this" now that i spend all this money i have finally achieved that goal

well its not music related, but i love my scooter more then any other one. It's an 06 Honda Metropolitan and i just think all of the other ones look stupid to me. <-- fanboy

I think it depends on the other headphones you have. I have RS-1's and K701's and i find them compliment each other perfectly out of my mapletree.
