Cool review. Nice to include the blind A/B.
Bifrost clicking all the time sounds like a no-go to me.

Not to me. I rather get something straight-up dark sounding to make them less cold sounding.
If you DIY, the Objective combo can cost the same or a little less.
Aside aesthetics and logistic choices, which I can't stress enough here, the Objective combo is slightly smoothed out and more even sounding with a tad, tad more extended bass, while the Schiit stack is a little more aggressive and solid sounding, with a tad more clarity up top.
These are minute differences, I'm talking like less than 3%. 3% is not something you should worry yourself over at this price point. Get the combo that looks better or has features that most benefit you.
What would you recommend?
I'm doing a Magni + Odac combo, was this stupid?
It's slightly better sounding than the Modi/Magni combo. The ODAC is slightly more fleshed out and dimensional than the Modi. It's very hard to compare as it takes time to swap out the DACs, but I came in with expectations that they would sound identical, but the ODAC did sound better to me.
