If you can swing the top one, it'll be nuts. Simply nuts.

Jason,
I understand you underestimate I will wait for the higher end Dac's anyway

Thanks

Jason,

I will probably buy the one without USB as I consider USB evil hahaha
I want one for my bedroom setup..

Same here.
 
But then if I get the Dac I will need the matching headamp too.  Wonder what my wife will say when she sees a new pile of Schiit on my nightstand?

yea but i dont know much about chips so i was wondering how this compares to the newer sabre chips.

 

[Killbox]

Looks great. Is it risky to wait until late July to order?, I mean do I risk getting it later than those ordering it now.  Or is enough stock to ship to everyone.

 

[tkteo]

Hmm the AKM chip is DSD-capable.

I wonder if it will be possible for the Bifrost to also decode 2-channel SACD? What about DVD-Audio?

 

[kongmw]

As much as I love my M-stage, this Schiit is really making me want to get a matching set of DAC and amp. urgghhhhhhh

 

[obazavil]

Hmm...
 
My laptop only has USB output... not SPIF...
 
So.. Should I order Bifrost+USB, or just get a laptop soundcard with SPIF?
 
Recommendations?
 
@Jason: If I preorder now, the charge when will be applied? when you ship? or since the moment of the preorder? Any discount (let's say.. 50%) for ordering Lyr+Bifrost? muahaha

 

[WNBC]

Schiit only charges after item shipped, that is if you use Google Checkout option.  If paypal option, you're charged right away.
If done right, USB sounds really good, at least in my previous experience with PS Audio and Wyred 4 Sound DACs.  No worries, these guys know what they're doing
