Not so much Bifrost production problems, but responding to the incredible demand. Takes a while to make nearly 1500 Bifrosts. Take care how you word stuff.

Haha, actually meant the problems with their board making company as Jason said, not Schiit's fault :)

Really hope less people order the midrange stuff so I can get my Statement DAC and possibly amp soon! :D

After going back and forth on which DAC to get I ended up ordering one of these to pair with my Valhalla. It should be in next week and I can't wait!

Probably better asked in an EF5 thread or Hifiman customer support.

#1337 arrived, burning in now.   I reduced the LED brightness by cutting a piece out of the leftover rubber feet material and sticking it over the LED.  Those things are seriously bright!


We need a selector switch like LCD tvs have 'torch mode' for displaying in stores (meets) and 'normal mode' for actually watching it in a house.

Ambient light sensor.  That would make a 'Statement'.  Ahem....

I am not a fan of the latest craze for blue & white LED's.
The LED intensity can easily be padded down using a resistor, however, you will likely void your warranty.
I will actually be changing mine to a Red LED, to match the rest of my gear.
A couple of my components have already been either changed to red or had the orginal red padded down.
I typically listen in low-light, and find any LED's other than red quite distracting.
 
JMHO, YMMV

Thanks!  Nice to see some more reviews coming in.
 
RE: LED bright lights... these things seem to be more common on newer equipment of late.  Just a few of these could light up a runway for plane takeoff!
