What a pile of Schiit
Had a Bifrost 2 for awhile.  Great piece of equipment.  I decided to return when I went down the DSD rabbit hole and opted for an RME ADI 2.   They accepted return without question and issued a prompt refund.  I’d buy from them again.  
Improvement of MacBook Air for Streaming Tidal
Just noticed your question about viewing Tidal.  In my setup I view and control Tidal via Roon on my IPad which is networked with Roon on my home network.

Suggestions for high efficiency speakers?
I've been pleased with the Heresy IVs and a sub paired with a Raven Nighthawk.  Smallish living room and they work well even though I have multiple openings and a staircase off the room.  
Tube integrated amp recommendations
I've had my Raven Nighthawk for about 6 weeks.  Definitely onboard with Raven.  Dave has been very patient in advising this 70 year old newbie as to Tube rolling. Very pleased with the tubes recommended  as well as the knowledge provided.  I mean... 
Horn speakers are really bright?
I have Heritage IVs.  When running a Parasound SS amp and preamp they could be somewhat harsh and fatiguing.   With my Raven Nighthawk integrated tube they sound great.  Still detailed but not fatiguing.  I realize this is always subjective but I ... 
The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there.
In SoCal in the 60s The Beach Boys gave The Beatles a run for their money, but the Beatles evolved.  I can remember going into a record store in Redondo Beach and all their top selling singles on the wall were Beatle records.   It was insane. No c... 
Best Integrated that you've heard under $5k
I have the Raven Nighthawk for my Heresy IVs.  Already received some nice NOS tubes from Dave.  Best I’ve had or heard.
