I just retuned the Schiit Modi 3+. Above the Gungnir was mentioned as being satisfactory and then later it was noted that it was discontinued and the Schiit Bitfrost was suggested for consideration.
I looked at the Bitfrost and ordered one for a test. I like the fact that the Schiit product is built in the USA and I also liked its modular design for future upgrades. After ordering it I was informed that delivery on them is currently scheduled for 10-12 weeks. So, I'll have a wait until it arrives. I'm looking forward to giving it a test. It was in the price range I was considering. But, the proof is in the punch - how it sounds.
Thanks for all the great comments and suggestions!
