Schiit DACs (Bifrost and Gungnir down, one to go)? The information and anticipation thread.

[Temple]

I wonder how the Bifrost will stack up to the JKDAK32. Seems that might be a good comparison even though the JKDAC32 is a bit more money.

Subsititute the Lyr for a Valhalla, add a Double Helix Cables Molecule for the HD650 and you have my exact setup.

Does anyone notice that their  Bifrost is a lighter shade of alloy than their Lyr? I am not sure if the Lyr may have darkened over time, possibly due to heat soak, or otherwise just be a different alloy supplier. It still looks awesome together though.

I had a Valhalla and noticed that the color was a little different from the Bifrost.  I also noticed the same difference when I got my Lyr.  No big deal -- they look absolutely beautiful paired.

I would assume it's a batch difference from their vendor.  The difference is there, but subtle.

That looks like the ultimate bedside/couchside rig.

@ leesure,   I just had a mini meet with the head-fier friends of myn across the bridge, I brought my frost/lyr and he brought his lcd-2 rev2. I will say it is the best i have heard any headphone sound. congrats on a killer setup.

I had the Valhalla before I purchased my Lyr and I definitely liked that combination.  You wont be disappointed with the Bifrost/Valhalla/HD650!

I have been following the thread for a while. But have not seen Biifrost compared with Wired 4 Sound or Violectric V800. I know that Bifrost may not be in that segment of DAC's but I still want to know where it stands. Thanx
