The Mjolnir/HD800 pairing exposes a noticeable difference between usb and optical for me. Not sure if it's due to implementation on my late 2011 MBP, or just the differences inherent in the Bifrost's inputs. Usb (Furutech Formula 2 fwiw) has more bite, with a hint of grain and dryness in some recordings. Optical is smoother and more laid-back, clearer despite the less distinct edges giving the overall presentation a slightly smeared quality.
 
I caught a glimpse of this when I previously had the Lyr between the Bifrost and headphone. The Mjolnir lays it bare. I prefer optical in my system.

 
OK, so here goes the ol' slippery slope....
 
I had the same experience with the Furutech.  Audioquest Forest (~$30), Carbon (~$110) and Coffee (~$175 - got a deal from the dealer and one for financing on top of it), as well as the Wireworld Starlight (~$90) all sounded considerably better to me, the Audioquests sounding best.  I preferred all except the Furutech to optical.
 
For all those who don't believe in any differences between digital cables, can you kindly just put this down to soft-headedness on my part?  Thanks

When you think about it, optical technically has perfected the form of power conditioning.  Sending probably the cleanest signal to your dac if you disregard the jitter caused by the transmitter and receivers and reflections. 
 
Due to HDMI I doubt optical audio transmission will progress any further but if it did and they perfected it.  I think optical could easily become the best technology.  Possibly in the future, that will be how we get video.  Optical, laser, whatever.  Its a beam of lighted goodness.

Has anyone compared the Bifrost head to head with the PS Audio DL III?  I'm curious how these two would compare, since I own a DL III.  Just bought a Lyr a few weeks ago, and I am loving it.

Its the end of August. Where's the Gungnir? Any updates?
 

 

[grokit]

We certainly wouldn't want it rushed out prematurely, would we?
 
I agree that an update would be nice.

Well then let me think............that gives Schiit one more day to release the Gungnir

Here's your update: we're currently building Gungnir, but it'll be a few more days before we're shipping. People on the pre-order list will be notified when they can place their orders first.
