how does the EF2A handles the Beyers?

In terms of power I wouldn't call it proper, but adequate. Driving 600Ω headphones is most certainly out of it's league. As far as sound is concerned, using just the headphone amplifier via analogue inputs, the sound is pleasantly smooth and neutral with a slight lush thanks to the Mullard tubes. It helps bring out the mids in the headphone a bit more. It's a decent upgrade to the headphone amplifier in the FiO E10, but aforementioned is not meant to power headphones with such a large impedance rating.

If you'd only be using it through USB I'd take a serious look at the Modi as well, it's very close to the Bifrost's USB mode at less than 1/4 the price.

I have considered the new Modi, but I did want to try not using USB if I went with the Bifrost. Does the Bifrost sound different when not using it in USB mode?

Simple setup in desperate need of amplifier and source upgrade. Was looking at both the Schiit Bifrost and Valhalla, but not sure which to go with first.

 
I built this very same setup for my girlfriend except with the AD900 and FA011 instead of your Beyer DT990

It's been reported to sound a little different by some people (I haven't done enough of a comparison to have an opinion). Of course, if you have non-USB sources then the Bifrost is obviously more useful than the Modi.

[sprite40]

At a quick angle look it does look like a WA2.  hificrazy are those 6H13C power tubes?  Nice rig.
 
You have nice gear like that, you have to fill in your profile so we know what it is....

Thought it looked like a cutting board or a back plate for a hunting trophy Looks really nice with the metal. And I can understand the differentiation from the swedes I'm Finnish.
