So what's up with the names? Not that I'm not tingly over the new statement gear...just curious. 


Personally, it would be my guess that Jason plays a bit of World of Warcraft

But, I could be wrong. If I had to guess, I'm betting he's a gnome warlock.

Can anyone here tell me how much of an upgrade it is from the Magni/Modi to the Asgard 2/Bifrost, and what the differences are?

Or, more pictorially...
 
Ragnaros, the Fire Lord:
 

 
Yggdrasil, the World Tree:

Thanks for the update Jason. It's unfortunate that your statement amp could be referred to as the Schiit Rag. Should've saved "Mjolnir" for your top tier.


Ragnarok is nearly the perfect name for the statement amp, I called the two names they picked over a year ago myself, Yggdrasil is almost perfect as well.

Norse mythology for the win

I would have found Odin and Frigg acceptable as well. 
 
Or maybe the Allfather for one or the other

It's a significant upgrade IMO. Sorry but I don't have a lotta love for the m/m stack. The A2 with uber bifrost is an amazing value.

I'm thinking of ading the A2 with uber bifrost to my Sonos Connect that feeds into a stereo speaker system and also use w/ HP's. I'm hoping it will improve upon the DAC in the Sonos. Also, looking at some of the Peach Tree Podcucts. Curious how expensive the statement DAC will be and it's  merits relative to Biforst Uber and Peach Tree Dac-it or Deco65.

Or it could be that Blizzard (realistically, Metzen) doesn't have an original bone in their body and they get all their lore from other people's work or ancient mythos.
 
Excited for the statement products.  They look beautiful - unlike the majority of summit-fi headphone gear.

If you will order both, ship them to my house, I will drive them personally to you for "Chipolte" money.
