I have used both the MM1 and MM2 with an Asgard 3 in the past and both paired well with the amp. I've never owned a BF2.
Hi, all I want to say is go with a BF2/64 or MM2. I bought a Modius E with the Delta Sigma chip for a mobile classroom where I didn't want to spend a lot of money, and I don't think it comes anywhere close to the BF2/64. It was a disappointment, and I wish I had purchased the MM2. But that's based on other people's comments about the Modi Multibit. I haven't heard it myself. From others' reviews and comments I understand MM2 has some of the same Schiit multibit DAC depth, good sound stage, excellent timbre, and overall tonality as the BF2/64. As for the BF2/64, I really like it and many regard it as an outstanding buy for the quality at this price. Overall tonality of the Modius is quite good, and I bought it partly because I had long cable lengths to work with, so the balanced outputs were handy. But I wouldn't recommend it. I've heard others who have really enjoyed it, so maybe it's an issue to some extent of partnering equipment. The difference I noticed most clearly is that when watching films using the BF2/64 you could clearly hear the kind of space the actors were speaking in, and this was not at all clear when using the Modius E. In any case, this is my humble advice.
I have owned 2 Lyr 3s (bought, sold, bought, and sold) and currently own the Lyr+. No issues with any of my units, but may regret typing this now that I think about it. Would definitely recommend the Lyr+ with the Bifrost 2/64.
It also depends on how a DS is implemented: in my main system I have a Bricasti M1 SE, and it is a DAC that ''sounds'' very good (and also costs a lot). Schiit certainly believes in multibit, and the most serious implementations are made with this technology. And it is evident if you look at their catalogue.In the Lyr+ thread, we read about a real massacre, some had to send the amplifier back for repairs three times. Lots of misaligned keys that didn't work and got stuck, channels that burned out, problems with the ladder volume, specimens that reach very high temperatures and even different timing behaviors during functions. I cannot deny that all this has slowed down the desire to purchase the object, also because it is not at all clear whether the problems have been resolved or whether it is still a lottery.
That was my idea. In any case, I could always go back and evaluate the purchase of the Lyr+, but I would like to be a little more relaxed about its reliability, also because I live quite far from Schiit, and shipments are not fast.
)Not really, but any reason you’re not considering Jotunheim2? Thats probably the more natural pairing with Bf2, although A3 is quite fine in its own right.
Avevo dato un'occhiata anche alle Jotunheim2, ma da quello che ho capito, per sfruttarlo al meglio era preferibile usare l'uscita XLR bilanciata, perché da quella 6.3 si ottiene circa la metà della potenza, mentre attualmente ho solo 3 cuffie con uscita sbilanciata cavo (K701-DT880-600ohm/HD650).

Returning to my question, is a Bifrost 2/64 ''wasted'' when paired with the Asgard 3? Am I pairing two components who play in different leagues? Or, all things considered, is it a stack that makes sense? My fear is that of making ''one shoe and one slipper'' (it's a saying that, when translated, I don't know if it makes sense
