Sounds like you will have a nice mix of music with lots of detail and weight/fullness

My B1 with a beta Unison board (thanks to Jason) works soooo very well....and with this new amp its really close to my TOTL system....absolutely wonderful.
Hoping the B2 will indeed be an upgrade somewhat sonically.

Pulled the trigger on a black Bifrost 2. Hopefully it'll be here by next weekend along with a pair of PYST RCA to hook it up with my Asgard 3.

Time to upgrade to Windows 10, then...

PYST cables should be renamed to GYST (Get Your Schiit Together). You get the gist of it...

It would be very interesting to hear how you would
compare Bifrost1 with Unison and Bifrost2 when you get it. All comparisons so far leaves the question of how much of the difference is due to Unison and how much is the dacs themselves.

All of my limited comparisons the past two weeks are toslink DAC vs DAC. I've only used Unison for a few songs so far.

My OG Bifrost 4490 doesn't have a USB card in it at all

Oh you are doing that wrong. Get a SYS sent over with the Bifrost 2. Don't sell the Bifrost 1 yet and A/B to your hearts content. I'm really wishing I had a SYS for my work desk.

If only I had told myself this when I ordered Bifrost 2 before Christmas.

Rensek...

No, I'm just saying it's fun to compare your old gear to your new gear.

Well it's fun to me.

I can see where the nervosa of is it or isn't better might take some of the fun out of the new gear.

Good better best is so damn subjective, and we all hear differently.

Guess it depends on your personality.

I like both of my Bifrosts.

@adydula -- If you enjoy A/B'ing, keep the BF1 with BF2 and get a SYS to A/B. If you enjoy listening to music, just get the BF2 and enjoy.

FYI -- @Rensek is a wee bit OCD and the poster-child for audio-nervosa!! **


** I can say that because - 1) It's TRUE and 2) We're friends!!

 

[Rensek]

Yes, yes I am.

It's either endearing or annoying, to everyone, myself included, depending on the day.

 

[adydula]

Ha! You guys make a great tag team!!

Seeing how I want $10,000 for my B1 theres a chance it will still be around!!!

:>)

Isn't PYST already covering it -- Put Your Schiit Together?

I think he meant if you name them GYST, it also sounds like the English word "gist" so it's, like, twice the pun XD
