Hi. I have a new Schiit Bifrost 2 it runs quite warm to the touch. Much warmer to the Rag 2. Is this normal? I have a Denefrips Ares II and a SMSL M400 Dac here and thy run dead cool. Is this normal for a Bifrost? Thanks in advance.
bifrost multibit and ares ii have quite similar sq characteristic - round, full, lots of body and foundation to the sound, bloomy as some would describe
ares a little more open on top, a little sharper w transients, a little more forward in center image
weakness of both, relative to better dacs (to my ears, in my system) is both have issues with sibilance on vocals...
Thank you, @! Yes, considering an upgrade to a Yggdrasil GS, Denafrips Pontus, Holo Spring DAC. Looking for better room decay, separation of instruments, and definition of vocals (classical).
Don't know if this helps, but I have the original Bifrost MB, and it's warm as in slightly above room temp.
