  Just bought my Bifrost upgrade, #56 in the queue, looks like they are blasting through them pretty quick.

Pretty quick.  I ordered about a week ago, was at #39, and now am at #12.

In other news, I ordered a chromecast audio.  Really awesome little device, I was finally able to move my schiit stack away from my pc, and it has an optical output so it can go straight into the bifrost.  Now I get to listen while I relax on my couch instead of always being in my desk chair.

Excellent!  that's just $35 or something crazy like that, right?

Yep, $35 and worth every penny to me.  Now I can distribute headphone listening stations all around the house.

Very important, being able to sit outside and listen to music 

 
Did you also know that Audeze is working on a Lightening/DAC for use with the EL-8? I am looking forward to this for use with my iPhone.

I did see that.  I don't own any iDevices however.

Interesting.  I wonder if equalization for the EL-8 might be part of it.

I'd never thought that far - but seeing as the cables (both Apple and Audeze) are proprietary, why not have software equalization? It makes a lot of sense!
 
You'll still have to hear it playing balanced out of the Pono player 

 
And that's all I'm going to say on this topic before this thread becomes energized, like many of the other threads. Speaking of other threads, does one of us need to start one for the event next month

Probably a good idea.  I can talk to Barry and get one going.

when's that set to be? I might be at school... but I also might not. Also I will have the blackwoods by then.

Just got the email from schiit asking for my bifrost. Just wanted to check and see if anyone had a bifrost box and packing material from shipment I could use before I go and purchase another with some packing materials, didn't keep my original boxes.

 

[sheldaze]

No, and my upgraditis is very contagious. Achoo! If USPS was open today, my last box of Schiit that size would be on its way to a happy Head-Fi'er in California.
 
The thing that makes no sense to me, however, is when they sent me the Bifrost back, they replaced my original box with a fresh new box. So it seems that perhaps you only need to ask? They may only charge you for the cost of shipping a flat box?

 

[Billheiser]

Would be glad to but I expect I may get that email too to send mine very shortly

Surprised you haven't gotten the email yet considering you ordered your upgrade before me and were further ahead in the queue.
