What do you call a budget DAC that’s 4 years old? Well, “discontinued,” “obsolete,” or “in the dumpster” come to mind.
That is, except for Bifrost. Introduced over 4 years ago, Bifrost is still the only fully modular, completely upgradable DAC in its price range. And as of today, it’s a very different DAC—and it's available in two different models.
Bifrost Multibit extends Schiit’s proprietary, time- and frequency-domain closed-form DSP digital filter and medical/military grade multibit DAC architecture down to even more affordable price points. Now, Bifrost Multibit is part of a complete family of multibit DACs that include Bifrost Multibit, Gungnir Multibit, and Yggdrasil. Bifrost Multibit now includes the USB Gen 2 input standard and is available to ship now for $599.
Bifrost uses the all-new AKM AK4490 Veritas D/A converter, a highly acclaimed delta-sigma converter that is found in DACs costing many multiples of Bifrost’s price. Bifrost “4490” now includes the USB Gen 2 input standard and is available to ship now for $399.
And, of course, all previous Bifrosts can be upgraded to Bifrost Multibit or Bifrost "4490", for $250 or $100 respectively. The upgrades are available to ship now.
