Bifrost 2 is so good it has so far eliminated any interest in “upgrading” further.

Maybe I’ll get an Yggy one day...

The Bifrost > Jot 2 has really wide staging.

Swapping in Modi 3 or Jot 1 drops the stage a bit and Modi 3 > Jot 1 is the most spatially constrained (still sounds great though lol).

Am I better off going with a separate DAC or will the multibit card be alright? Does that have the unisom usb? It’s not clear from the website

Reinforcing previous opinions, unless you only want a single box solution, going with the separate DAC is the way to go. I have both the Modi MB and BF2 and while the BF2 is definitely a step up in presentation its the same signature as Modi MB and I listen to it quite happily all day doing work. Where even the $50 really adds value is in the additional inputs. These are quite handy to have and makes upgrading easier as you have more flexibility in your options.

Thanks for the input on the all in one solution. For anyone that’s been around here a while, I had the original gungnir/mjolnir combo back in like 2012 up until I sold them a few years ago. They never really clicked for me... would a “modern” Bifrost 2/Jot 2 combo blow that gen 1 g/m combo out of the water with all the new tech? I want to get back in the game

Just got one of these to pair with my Gumby A2. I already have the A90 so it will be fun to compare. Stoked!

if your source uses USB, then definitely Bifrost 2 / Jotunheim 2 will be an upgrade over the 2012 hardware.

For anyone who had both, any comparisons bn Jot 2 and A90?

I did have a D90 here and compared it to the J2....J2 hands down for me...less "bright"...

 

[acs236]

You mean the A90?

My replacement Jot 2 arrived this morning. Everything appears to be good so far.

I'll post some comments (and maybe a mini-review) about it's SQ once I've got a handle on what I think about it.

if Jot 2 is as good as I think it will be (based on the initial reviews, and also how proud Jason is of the design, and the fact that he's not planning an upgrade to Mjolnir 2) your patience will be rewarded.

I know. I’m very patient and looking forward to it but the excitement is getting to me.
