Having seen several of his measurements. I doubt his tests are having some sort of major error. Or at least if they are, the majority of other DACs are measuring better on the same tests. Including units that cost a $120. He mentioned that he measured a previous dac just before (Berkley Alpha?) and all that took was a switch of the cable. So, even if there is some error or distorting factor on the tests, the other DACs seem to be doing quite a bit better on it than both Schiit DACs and these dacs are a whole lot cheaper. Albeit they are delta sigma.
Now I'm not saying they sound better. If the measurements aren't great but the sound is fantastic I couldn't care. But, those cheaper units seem to doing measurements better when compared by the same tester.
Now it looks like Bob feels that the bifrost was not broken. But maybe I just inferred it that's what he was saying. But that's confusing to me now as to if it's broken or not. Also though the posts by him weren't the most diplomatic, and I'm not entirely sure his standards of intepretation are correct, but it's clear to me that there is heavy censorship in place which is dissapointing.
The Yggy is still on my list as the upgrade, hopefully awaiting a remote and an audition. But the thoughts of the ad line of mission critical 21 bit precise no fudging DAC and the behavior of the owners strikes me poorly.
