OK. After one day with thr Bifrost 2, I'm really finding it to be a very nice DAC representing a very worthwhile upgrade from my Modi MB and Topping D50. I'll give some more listening over the next few days before saying anything more than that.
Quick questions for Bifrost 2 and Lyr 3 owners: Do any of you folks stack your Lyr 3 on top of the Bifrost 2? If so, how do you feel about the temps? When I do, it Seems VERY toasty -- not just for Lyr 3, but also for Bifrost 2. I use a tube-saver to lift my 6SN7 tubes at top case level and the unstacked Lyr 3 gets just slightly warm to the touch. If I set the Bifrost 2 to the side, it also gets barely warm to the touch. If I stack the 2 -- HOLY COW!!! The Lyr 3 gets UNCOMFORTABLY warm/hot and the Bifrost 2 gets VERY warm/hot -- especially on the left-side where the power circuitry and transformer is located. Any of y'all get the same results? Do you folks think it's a bad idea to stack them? Some say a toasty Schiit stack is a happy Schiit stack and others say Heat is the enemy of all electronics. Your thoughts, please.
Thanks!!!
