Schiit Multibits vs Chord Mojo
This is the answer to my query: I’m afraid we don’t get into detailed subjective oratory about our products, nor speculate on what you might hear: schiit.com/faq/principles
That said, the product descriptions, and especially the FAQ, have detailed information on what’s going on technically with our various DACs.
Sorry to be unhelpful.

Thanks, guys. Will keep searching for user reviews. @edincleve, One thing I can tell you regarding the Chord DAC's is that they use wall-wart power supplies, whereas the Bifrost Multibit has an internal PSU and you can use your own power cord. I owned a Chord QuteHD DAC and although it was extremely smooth, it lacked bass due to the switched-mode power supply (SMPS) in the wall-wart, rather than a using a linear PSU. Now, the Bifrost is probably using a switched-mode chip as well, but it is a better design in terms of power supply since there are separate supplies for digital and analog sections. |
@lowrider57 No problem, that was exactly one of my questions. When I contacted Schiit, I got the same non-answer that gdrnrbob did. I can understand them not getting into comparisons with other manufacturer's products, but to not comment on their own, makes no sense. Why buy a more expensive Schiit product if they can't even describe the differences? |
+1 Edincleve I own both the Modi and Bifrost Multibit. They perform admirably, especially considering their price. But, with their attitude, i wouldn't bother considering the more expensive units. If other stereo manufacturers can elucidate the differences in their model line up-without divulging proprietary secrets, I see no reason Schiit cannot. It seems they are full of themselves, literally. |
