Upgrade from Schiit Bifrost 2?

@Bnolt - I just did this and am standing by. Thank you for the feedback. We'll see!

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.

Same thing happened to my Lyr 3, twice. Sold it after the second repair.

One of the ways Schiit keeps costs down is compromised thermal management. I wonder how long before internal components start to deteriorate, causing a long, subtle race to the bottom.

Since the Cult of Schiit, among other things, keeps you coming back, most owners will not own a Schiit product long enough to notice.

Lots of choices in your price range; DACs have moved from flavor of the month to flavor of the week. Stay tuned and you will see "Best DAC Ever" threads everywhere.

Try this (if you can hear a negative difference, which is unlikely, just send it back):
