Schiit Bifrost vs. the original Peachtree Dac-it


Would purchasing a new Schiit Bifrost be a step up from the Peachtree Dac-it or would it be more of a lateral move?

Also remember that there are several iterations of the BiFrost as it is upgradeable. There is a multibit version too.

I've heard that the Modi Multibit sounds better than the Bifrost non-multibit.

I have no experience with any of those.
You can also sell a late model Schiit on eBay. There aren't many on there and people buy them at almost 'new' prices.

@mzkmxcv-can you tell us why Schiit's flagship isn't as good as the ones you mentioned and what your experience is with the Yggdrasil?
Please don't bring the power cable discussion into any threads where it hasn't already popped up!

But that does bring up a question about the Topping D50. It does not appear to come with a power source. Why not? What if I'm not planning on using a powered USB source? At least the Schiit Modi 3 and Multibit come with a wall wart. Why would Topping leave that out?
So if I were not going to use it with a powered USB source I would have to buy a wall wart with the right specs? Probably not going to do the battery thing even though I already have one of the Ankers you mention. I don't thing the Anker will charge and power something at the same time. Have no desire having to worry about whether my DAC has a 'charge'.

Have also heard a lot of negatives about USB power.
