Any thoughts on this compared to the schiit Lyr+Bifrost?   Also, what would someone hook up to it with the RCA inputs on the back?

Hello All,   I'm planning on picking up an LCD-2 soon but was wondering what would a good AMP/DAC Combo be for it <$1000.  I currently have the Schiit Magni/Modi but heard that may not be enough to power it. Would Bifrost/Asgard, Valhalla or Lyr be a good match? Or would you reccommend...

Hi, I have a budget of $500, that can go up to $750 if necessary. I want a really good amp/dac combo for my HD 600s, seperate units or a single combined unit works. I am running off a windows desktop that has optical, headphone, and usb. Any reccomendations?

Hey guys!   Couple questions: First off, I just purchased a Schiit Bifrost DAC, and I'm doing research on the best way to go about connecting it to my computer. Looks like SPDIF is the way to go. So, I was wondering if the signal integrity is compromised when using an adapter like this...

PC is still somewhat trouble to me, but iPad can be a convenient device. Not all DACs support iPad w/ camera kit, any one tried it on Bifrost?

I'm wondering if anyone can give me insight into which DAC might work best with my Audioengine A5+ speakers which I run from a Macbook Pro. The audio source is typically MOG, which is a streaming service like Pandora except quite a bit less compressed. Still, all the music I listen to is...

Schiit Modi and Magni compared to Bifrost and Asgard   Preface I have had my Bifrost and Asgard for a bit over a year, using them primarily with my LCD-2s at work. Since my work laptop has no SPDIF I only use the Bifrost through USB so that is what I used for this comparison as well. I...

Hi everyone   I'm new to the forum and looking for some advice on putting together a headphone rig. I've put together $2500 so far between selling off some vintage gear on CL and a couple of winning trips to the local casino over the holidays. Still have a few things for sale so that number...

Hello, What headphones do best job with Vocals, (80's-90's Pop, Rock)  Pop, Rock, R&B, Electronic and same instrumental?    Audeze LCD 2 rev. 2 + Schiit Lyr + Schiit Bifrost  OR Hifiman HE-500 + LaFigaro 339 + Schiit Bifrost 

I'm kind of in the dark about DACs but I do know my sound card is supposed to have a pretty good on on-board. Based on the specs below, do you think I would hear a noticeable difference if I had an outboard DAC like a Schiit Bifrost or comparable? Here's a link to the page about my current...

I am looking for an amp/DAC and I have a budget of about, hmm. Lets just say.. $1000 would be a very nice budget, but I can definately go over, if worth it. At $1000 we have some good choices, like the WA7 and Lyr/Bifrost. But hey, go over by all means.    I'm looking for a amp/DAC that will...

Hi There!   I am the recently proud owner of a pair of HD650's.    I have an Asus Xonar STX Sound Card and I am enjoying the combination.    I am questioning whether I can do better with an External Dac/Amp. I don't require portability, I am looking for a reasonable improvement in...

Hello all,   I'm quite a newbie as an audiophile, but I have browsed recently the forums a lot and collected some useful information.   I currently own Sennheiser HD555 and AKG K518 (and plan to get the new AKG K267). First of all, please correct me if I am wrong. Right now I am using...

So I've been in a committed relationship with my Sennheiser HD600's and FiiO E9 amp for a year now... I love this combo, and the sounds I've heard go into my ears since last Christmas have been amazing. However, I've been thinking back about something: should I have gotten the E7 with them? How...

I'm trying to setup a stereo system with the equipment that i currently have (Bifrost+Asgard). I just purchased a Genelec 6010A and haven't received it yet. I was planning on optical out from Mac Mini---> Bifrost----> Genelec 6010A. However, I found out a problem, if I do so I will not be able...

I've been a lurker here for years and this is my first post. I've been enjoying my Ed 8's for 1 1/2 years now, very satisfied customer!

I have a basic setup from Fiio (E17+E09K) with my Beyerdynamic T-70. It sounds great, but I was thinking of making the jump to a Schitt setup (maybe tubes?). Can anyone tell me if there will be a noticeable difference?   My source is a Macbook Pro with lossless.
