  Yep - to be clear, I'm already using Tidal --> Airplay --> Apple Tv 2. I'm just thinking of upgrading from my Arcam's DAC to the Bifrost and want to make sure it wouldn't be money wasted due to limitations of Airplay / Apple TV. 
 
CD quality is the goal so thanks @Billheiser- that's very useful. 

Ah did not Factor Airplay I thought You meant Directly off one of the Apple TV apps.

I live in Vietnam, using 220v 50Hz electricity. Recently I accidentally bought a 200 VAC power transformer aimed at Japanese devices, which converts 220V to 100V. Do I really have to buy a 220 to 120V transformer in order to properly power the Magni V1 (It has a 120 VAC adapter)? What can possibly happen if I continue to use the 220V-100V transformer? Thanks all!

I'd email Schiit and ask.

They usually answer inquiries fairly quickly.

  Quick question - is anyone here pairing their Schiit DAC with Apple TV 2? I've been using my Apple TV to my Arcam receiver via optical, but now I want to go purely 2 channel. I've already got a Lyr 2, so I was 

Just to be clear, I'm talking about the Apple TV 2, not the most recently released version. Pic below. 
 
Chain would be:  TIDAL or iTunes library in Apple Lossless --> Bifrost --> Lyr 2 with upgraded tubes --> power amp --> speakers 
 
I know it would work, obviously, but I'm curious if there are any quality concerns with the Apple TV which outputs everything at 48 instead of 44.1? Please note I do not have any hi-rez music, so I don't think downsampling is a concern.
 
 

 
I'm using the airport express which doesn't resample and keeps the 44.1khz. Works fine with Tidal going into my amplifier via optical. 
 
Apple TV will work the same.

Thanks. I sent them an email before going to work and they've just replied (damn that's blazing fast response right there!) that the device should work okay.

Went on a little bit of an upgrade spree here on the forums.  Picked up a Bifrost Uber, Lyr-2 and a pair of LCD2.2's and HD650's.  I've been using 80ohm DT-770's and an iBasso D4 mamba since 2011 lol.
 
Needless to say I'm excited.

So when are you sending the uber in for the Multi Bit upgrade?

I just splurged and picked up an Asgard 2 on amazon.  Holy cow.  Very very impressed.  I always loved the tonality of the original Asgard (which I still have).  This thing is a one stop shop for pretty much all your needs (except an HE-6, of course).  I've been rotating amps in my living room system and really wanted to try this one and I'm glad I got it.  So far, it's in my main system while I work.  Later tonight, we'll see how the Bimby likes it.  Well done, guys.

Asgard 2 and Bimby - match made in heaven.

Running my Mjolnir 2 from a Bimby while my Gumby is out of commission. Love it with the Ethers.

My stack is here and hooked up!  I have to listen to everything again now.

Looking good. Try the LISST tubes if you get a chance. They work so well with that amp. Is that the mb Bifrost?

No, MB.  It's a USB2 though.  I ordered some 6n23p's that shipped from Ukraine, hopefully they'll be here soon.

Anyone with either Gungnir or Yggy tried the new Chromecast 2 with optical ? Does it light up the "buy better gear" light?

That reminds me I should try some different streaming devices to see how they behave with the DACs.
 
Also going to see if a digital reclocker will keep the BBG LED unlit even with known bad sources.
