Schiit Bifrost Uber USB DAC
« on: July 09, 2015, 07:28:44 PM »
[repeated from a separate thread by Jim P to capture feedback on the Schiit specifically]

I ordered the Schiit Bifrost Uber USB from Schiit, but it was on 2-3 week back order .... and 1.5 weeks later, it's still on the same back order. I was looking at the PS Audio dac and on a whim called HiFi Heaven. During a long discussion with Carl?, he mentioned that they had a few Schiit pieces in stock since they were thinking of picking up the line.... He checked and they had a Bifrost Uber USB in stock.... I couldn't buy it fast enough lol and saved the shipping cost to boot :-)  It arrived Tuesday.... much much much better than the Peachtree! I really like the sound and the imaging is just awesome.... it's a keeper.I get no ear fatigue from it what so ever... and for me, that's really saying something! Playing with interconnects now to see what can be done.... very please with the Schiit... so a box of Schiit arrived at my house, and it didn't smell in the least lol  Pretty much invisible in my system which is what I want and like, not looking for color to the sound nor any type of emphasis nor articulate highs that are shrill. Sounds very very close to the dbx cd player when used with the Sony 7200 Blu-Ray , and better than the Sony S7200 Blu-Ray player via HDMI

I do not believe they will.  I think they're just for Windows, OSX, and Linux.

just so everyone knows, your posts all say edited because I changed the title to Bifrost and not Biofrost, as the item is actually called the Bifrost.

It was probably a language barrier
