Parasound ZDAC VS. "new and improved" Bifrost?


Anyone had a chance to hear both? Thoughts? Thanks.

Just finished burning in the Bifrost with the Uber + USB upgrades.

The spatial imaging (i.e. in all three dimensions) is as good as my analogue rig

Having said that I have a Furutech power cable and silver, interconnects with Eichman Silver Bullet RCA's hooked up to it (yes - the cables cost as much as the DAC :-)

Bottom line - the Bifrost outperformed the Chord QuteHD and the Mytech 192 - at least to these ears.

I have no doubt the ZDAC would perform to a similar level - however, the Bifrost may have some other upgrades coming (e.g. dsd) - other dacs do not have ungradability built in.
