Chord Qutest would be a good choice.
Upgrade from Schiit Bifrost 2?
Due to a Bifrost 2 failure, I'm considering an upgrade to a non-Schiit branded DAC. What is the next step up from the Bifrost 2? I am currently using a Node2i for streaming (mostly Qobuz), a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum 3, and Magnepan 1.7s. I will eventually be incorporating a Rythmik Audio F12SE.
If you've had the Bifrost 2 and upgraded, what did you upgrade to and why? How profound was the difference?

Mytek Liberty DAC $1000 new! https://mytek.audio/shop/lbrt-dac-ii-liberty-dac-ii-287#attr= Your welcome! Matt M |
With your budget I'd suggest the MHDT Labs Orchid or a similar r2r DAC. Much more analog sounding than the Schiit. If that's the kind of sound you're looking for. I like it a lot more than the Mytek Liberty which I found very "digital" sounding. I liked the Bifrost better than the Liberty. The Liberty and Bifrost are long gone but I still own the Orchid. |
you cant ignore the denafrips ares 2 at a 750 price point r2r dac . it gets great reviews I haven't herd a bad one yet and there as good as 3 times the price and if you want to push the envelope the denafrips Pontus gives you a linear power supply built in . just look at the picture of the internals there is no other dac that looks as well made as the denafrips lineup |
