I have a few pieces of Schiit laying around. While ordering them I remember trying to contact them and getting irritated. But once I heard the components I got I decided it was worth the lack of customer service. Most of their stuff costs less than most of my interconnects and cables, and sound amazing for the price. I guess they just don’t have customer service… and pass the cost savings on. Frustrating if you are one of the few that need to return something.
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. |
