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?

I’ve been considering a new DAC myself. Does anyone have any experience with the Benchmark DAC3 B? Thanks.

I had to provide my original order and serial numbers on one of the forms to verify the unit was covered. As I recall, it's a two step process. I hope this works for you.

Thanks. They only asked for the order number and I provided it. Waiting for their reply.

At least you received a response. That's a good sign. You'll need to pay to ship; they'll take care of return shipping. Even if you've soured on the brand at least you'd be able to sell a working unit.
