I think you're probably correct if you think it's an side grade more than an upgrade. I have neither, from the reading I've done they seem similar so far as overall quality goes. Does the Topping have a vol control? That'd be nice if you don't have a preamp!

Call me a sucker, but I could not hold back any longer. Placed my order for the 2/64 upgrade card today and I'm hoping the 10-12 weeks is a VERY conservative timeframe with next Monday being a more realistic shipping ship date.

$5 says you get it delivered a bit early. Schiit is good like that.Call me a sucker, but I could not hold back any longer. Placed my order for the 2/64 upgrade card today and I'm hoping the 10-12 weeks is a VERY conservative timeframe with next Monday being a more realistic shipping ship date.

I disagree. It's all about a person's sonic preferences and their hearing. I'm 68 and my hearing is not the same as a 20 year old. For me, this is an obvious and non-incremental upgrade. To my old ears, this is a significant improvement. YMMV

How does one man tell another man "beautiful wood", and remain completely heterosexual?Now there's a bad idea lol. I am already ten sets of speakers behind that I need to build for local friends who want tiny radials.

Nice. I think you'll really enjoy it. Couldn't be a better reward to a great guy.Call me a sucker, but I could not hold back any longer.

Age is one of the reasons I like to get opinions from younger ears. We had a large group doing a 20 DAC comparison but the Bifrost was not around then. I own one but do not use it much as it sits, maybe the upgrade will help a bit.
"Beautiful specimen, bro. The best tree is a dead tree made useful. You're an A+ tree taxidermist."
Why would you want to do something like that?

I don't know, but if @Paladin79 is flattered, he might send you the most amazingly lifelike birdseye maple prosthetic, well beyond anything you could have imagined.

One looses hearing range with age, but also gains knowledge.
Anyone remember the scene in "Ray" (great movie, Jamie Fox did a fantastic job) when he's having lunch with his future wife? The window is open in the restaurant, and he asks his date if she can hear the hummingbird outside the window. "Close your eyes, and listen".

I draw the line at headphone racks. I do have a wood lathe that allowed me to put round corners on the @bcowen amp.
I was thinking Art Deco but that style was probably less obvious to Mr. Cowen. Pearls before bar b cued swine I suppose.

I was going to wait too but caved, I thought I could always send it back if I didn't like it. At 24 hrs I thought I might be sending it back, at 36 hrs the warmth and image that was missing was there and now at a little over a week I love it. Worth every penny to me!Call me a sucker, but I could not hold back any longer.
