| Soooo many choices. Doggitter - ask yourself some simple questions.What sampling rates do you want to listen too- 16/44, 24/96, 24/192, 24/384, or better...- you get what you pay for and for the best you pay lotsDo you want to get up off your butt to change sources? ... | |
| Soooo many choices. One last point to consider - on some dacs not all inputs have the same Max sample rate. Very often one input will process a lower rate. | |
| Soooo many choices. Doggitter - the best advice I can give you is to...- first list your requirements in detail, then- compare the specs of the dacs you are considering- try to audition them - at home if possible- then make the decision.Schiit has a 15 day return pol... | |
| REVIEW: Schiit Bifrost DAC Chayro - know what you mean - you must have read my review of the Raysonic SP120 :-) I still liked the sound - just fed up heating the house every time I listened to music - extremely happy with the Naim - after 2+ yearsI'm much more selective the... | |
| REVIEW: Schiit Bifrost DAC Just using iTunes on my iMac that has BitPerfect loaded.Using a USB cable to bridge to Bifrost.No plans to use anything else - sound is amazing as is. | |
| Soooo many choices. FYI - I have no experience with "hi-fi streamers" - I first used an Apple TV2 and used it until I discovered its shortcomings. Ended up putting in cable to overcome those.Then fate dealt a blow and I ended up moving my iMac to perform streaming fu... | |
| Soooo many choices. If you are considering HD streaming you might want to rethink wireless.I had a terrible time with wireless streaming WAV files using Apple products - in the end I ran cable to the router. That was one of the reasons I looked at the stream magic 6.... | |
| REVIEW: Schiit Bifrost DAC My apologies to Schiit and also any Gungnir owners, since I didn't mean to "infer" that the only difference between the Bifrost and the Gungnir was the balanced outputs in my review above. Far from it!The Gungnir is a completely "balanced design",... | |

| Soooo many choices. One thing about the Gungnir - it doesn't just have balanced outputs - it is a completely balanced design - it's almost like having a bifrost for each channelAlthough I'm a fan of Cambridge Audio - I have their latest phono stage - after this exper... | |
| Soooo many choices. And - I didn't need balanced outputs | |
| Soooo many choices. Cost is always a factor, but since my first look at the Gungnir I noticed that the Bifrost had the Uber upgrade, which is the same audio stage as the Gungnir apparantly.Seemed like an opportunity to save $300 without loosing too much in performanc... | |
| Troubleshooting toslink input problems on DACs What cables are you using?Since using DH Labs cables I have had no problems with optical - they lock in place and are one of the fastest cables out thereMy surround sound system sounded so much better once I put them In the loop.Had them on my iMa... | |
| Budget DAC - Have AE D2 Just received my bifrost yesterday and it kicks some serious buttBut get a good power cable - I think it helps tremendouslyGot the USB and Uber upgrade - well worth it | |
| Soooo many choices. Ooops - forgot to mention - I'm streaming from my iMac via USBMusic is on a NAS drive - no streaming issues with the hi-def stuffTried optical as well and could not tell any differenceTried s/pdif from DVD player and it sounds the same.Cheers |
