The Bifrost is significantly nicer than the DacMagic. It is easily more resolving and cleaner sounding. Plus the Bifrost can deal with 24/196 on all inputs.
The current capability of the Lyr also works really well with the 701's. I used the 702's for a while and then got the Lyr to run my HE6 and was surprised at how much fuller the bottom end was with the Lyr. The HE6 are still nicer but I would have been happier with the 702's if I had the Lyr from the beginning.
Anyone use a "Y" adaptor (one male to two female RCA) on your Bifrost to two headphone amps?
I'm thinking about getting a Vampire Wire Y adaptor to hook up the Bifrost to two amps.
my question about using those Y adapters is wouldn't you need 2 of them to run a second amp?
i;ve thought about doing something similar just haven ever determined the best method to use two amps off one dac

I had the same problem in trying to connect my Bifrost to both my Asgard and Woo 6SE amps. I decided to try the Vampire Y adapters and they work like a charm! I haven't tried having both amps on at the same time, but with only one amp at a time I can hear no difference in SQ. I went with the F type adapter (model #YF) as it would work better in my depth limited (shallow) "rack" and they worked out very nicely. Be aware that the price ($24) on the Vampire Wire site is for a pair of adapters! They do not mention this so I bought 2 just to be safe. Now I have a spare set
Great. I bought the YF and than changed to regular Y.
I have the Bifrost to the Asgard and hoping to also hook up the Bifrost to Pioneer SX-737 or Lyr for the LCD-2.

Srajan over at 6moons just posted "page 3" of his preview for the Bifrost, which features some pretty good resolution pictures of the Bifrost internals, including the USB board (which he dismounted) and some comments on disassembly:

I am now getting a sound that is just purer and cleaner in every aspect compared to before. It is hard to quantify the total improvement..... but I can say this, changing the fuse to the AMR gold got me 70% of the way there, and jumping the fuse directly with Mundorf silver/gold hook-up wire got the last 30%.
Makes me wonder what the expensive Hi-fi Tuning Black fuse would do, perhaps it would be as good as direct wiring.
agisthos, thanks for the idea. I won't have direct wiring to compare it to, but I've just ordered one of the Hi-Fi Tuning "Black" Supreme fuses, since the US distributor is less than 50 miles from here. Will let you know what I hear.
