Just wanted to thank you all for taking the time to reply and share...
@guy-incognito, thanks it's fun writing my impressions of the DAC :)
Unfortunately damn work gets in the way so I'll have to be away from my new toy for the next 9 hrs or so...HOWEVER, I just put in for Monday-through Wednesday of next week for a little r&r time with my new Bifrost. Gonna spend most of that time re-listening to my "new";) cd collection! That's how super crazy excited I am over this thing.
You know what seriously? I've listened to Iron Maiden "Live After Death" literally countless times over the last 25+ years. I mean over and over and over. Every road trip, every night with the boys going back to when I was a late teen Live After Death always came with or was playing. It's a staple in my cd collection. And I am truly going to ask that this cd go with me in my coffin (I will never go any journey without my Maiden :)). It's classic Maiden so you just pop it in and turn the volume up to full and just jam out!...Last night was the first time I listened to it differently for the first time ever. I didn't blast it, I didn't want to. I heard detail and nuances I truly never have before (and maybe that's because I've always listened to it so loud that about midway through the first track the ears go numb-but it's Maiden that's what you do). At the risk of coming close to using the typical cliché, I won't go there and say it was like listening to it for the first time, but I will certainly say I listened to it and heard it very differently for the first time...That's about the best way I can convey what this DAC has done for me...
