Here did they say if this was going to be a kit or a pcb with a bom? I think both ways would be good that way those that want to build have an easy path and those who don't aren't buying sand they don't need.

PCB with a BOM. I will create and publish a Mouser BOM in case anyone wants to order with one click. There are going to be SMT components but thankfully, unlike Jason, we can use leaded solder. I hate lead free solder.

This little accessory on Schiit eu looks nice.

Where's the U.S. version of that?

 

[Mike Foley]

I would guess that the distributor has sourced it themselves. I am tempted to buy one.

Ali Express also carries them. I wish there was a Bifrost size available...

It might cost about 150 but you could have custom acrylic made then source hardware in that style from Amazon and eBay to make a larger one.

How about this? Tempered glass monitor stand/riser. Smallest I can find at the moment is this, which is 15x9ish in inches, but even so, 3” extra per side isn't horrible... two of them either with or without a bit of adhesive to lock them together would be attractive. There is also a “corner stand” in the same vein, just unsure if the depth would work. I like the glass rather than acrylic in this size...

I have one, dont use it for this, but I can move Bifrost and Asgard 2 if anyone wants a photo... HTH

I have the same one... it was the reason for my front switch mod :-D So better for a DAC underneath that you leave on all the time, but definitely works.

@OldRoadToad

Here's your solution to VU meters!

Meters provided by my friend @Paladin79 who helped me wire them up to the little circuit board and made me up some RCA splitters so I could hook them up to the pre-amp out of my Jot. They are in a little cardboard box for now, I'll be making a wood box for them soon. Put the switch in the front so @Jason Stoddard wouldn't press charges

Can you get the meters with blue lighting........

Mine have a little incandescent bulb in there and no clear way to get them open.

 

[Paladin79]

There are some meters similar with blue lighting, I will post a link when I locate them again.

I prefer the yellow myself for a steampunk look, but I use blue neon inside my stereo cabinets.

The amp I am using for a test setup is a Valhalla 2 by the way, having run a square wave through it at various frequencies I like the way it compares to other amps I own.
