Schiit Bifront or Musical Fidelity M1

I don't know of the Bifront, but I am running the M1 with a MF M6I integrated driving Kef R500's for my office system and it sounds great! Musical and engaging.

I have the Bifrost in the config you mention and find it very engaging,
detailed, very dynamic and spacious. This DAC performs extremely well
when you use good power cables and interconnects

I have Stager Silver Solids interconnects and braided power cords, which
allow the Bifrost to perform ar its best.

Out of the two options I would go with the Bifrost because I think it may be
have the edge on dynamics and details.

When I was looking I auditioned
- Wadia 121 decoding computer
- Mytek Stereo 192 DSD DAC
- Chord QuteHD DAC

Out of the three the Mytek was the best, but after a year of use I find the
Bifrost a little better than even the Mytek

Regards

I like the fact that the Bifrost is upgradable. As they come out with better components, you can just add them instead of buying a new unit.
