+1 bifrost uber sounds great with lyr

 

[MattTCG]

I have a question for anyone that has owned both the Modi and the Bifrost. Is the Bifrost worth the upgrade over the Modi? Does the sound quality increase significantly enough to warrant the extra cost? I'm considering purchasing the Bifrost with the uber upgrade to pair with my Lyr. I'm currently using it with the Modi and I'm not going to make the purchase if it's not a significant upgrade.

 
I've owned both. If you have high quality rips of your music, it will make a very appreciable and worthy improvement. I have the uberfrost now and could never go back.

Very much enjoying a pair of Orange Globes 68' vintage. One tube was a little noisy and I thought I was doomed but it cleared up on it's own. 
 
You?

'70 orange globes getting the most time
but the surprise find, just took a chance on some tesla e88cc, gold pins, from russia, czech made, don't know how accurate all that is
but they sound pretty good ! was like $50, i think,

I got a pair of Russians that I didn't know a thing about. I gave about $25 they were fantastic. I traded them and regret it to this day.

I'm sporting the Gen1 USB Bifrost and Lyr combo to drive my AKG 701s.  The Gen2/Uber upgrade is something I plan to do sometime soon...
The supplied JJ tubes sounded rather lifeless, and now I find myself bouncing between the gold-pin Teslas and NOS Russian 6H23n-EB that a friend got me as a gift.

Are there any alternatives for valhalla tubes?  If so what are they?

I had a similar issue when I first installed mine.  For whatever reason, Win7 had the zip file flagged for encryption, and therefore the extracted files as well.

I don't think you would have to uninstall xonar. Unknown error? Is that the exact Windows message?
