Hi Guys, what's the best option left for me in terms of sound quality?
 
(i) Schiit Bifrost with Uber and USB Vs (ii) IFI iDAC + iTUBE + iUSB
 
Which one will give a better sound quality?

late post , dont know which you eventually got , but im also stucked between these 2 brands . dammit .

but i own an iCAN Nano & waiting for my iDSD , i've researched alot on both brands , and i realised that iFi is a sub company of UK's AMR , which makes insanely high end audio products , their Chief Designer also has a very interesting background , history & knowledge on what they are doing and what other companies are doing . Hence if i have the money , i'll definately put my trust in iFi . Heard the iTube works wonders .

Schiit Bifrost is a solid dac, I currently own an Audio-GD Compass 2 and I am really missing it.
 
It outputs cleanly, has detailed sound and works well with just about any amp I have paired it up with.  It is more towards the scale of transparency.  You can pair it with a Lyr and get a really crisp warm combo.

I've owned both and unless you have mythical golden ears, there's very little difference once they're broken in. If forced, I'd buy Schiit.

sorry for the late reply. I just realised there are replies to my 2month old thread!
 
I've moved on to calyx 24/192 dac btw.
