Ugh, the font alone screams 80's Miami and Don Johnson.  All that's missing is the hot pink neon.  At least to my ears.

Doesn't look like Schiit to me.  

  I don't care for the styling over much either.  Looks too cheap.  

Looks can be deceiving, that's a $5,000 DAC !
 
Depending on options of course, that fron panel design starts relatively cheap @ $1,400.

I think that's the reason why its bad for it to look so cheap...

Superficiality is in the eye of the beholder. It does have the ability to display an unlimited amount of information.

Maybe it can display it, but unless you can read hex, a 7 segment display isn't going to convey much more numbers and parts of the alphabet...

We're talking about looks, and as physical objects the Schiit DACs have looks as well.  It has little to with price, as we've seen...
 
Compare and contrast.

I have been on there site looking at the designs of all there amps and there new dac and to put somthing like this in the line up would not be in there style what so ever.
 
to me they have a good look already just keep it sort of the same and all will be good!        (BIFROST is soooooo good looking!!!!)

If theres one small thing I dont like about the material used for at least for what i've seen so far, its that while i love the brushed look, i wish the texture was smoother.  It seems as though the brushed crevices would catch dirt and make it hard to dust off.  But i'm merely nitpicking.

I know some people may not care about seeing the back panel of the bifrost but i would love to see the backend
 
anyone seen it?

Last word is that it didn't actually exist yet.  All they've got are prototypes which don't look as nice and your avatar is a render, not a picture...

 

[obazavil]

The Bifrost panel looks nice IMHO... the dacmagic also looks clean and nice
 
And yeah... only renders, no actual product yet to review for anyone.. yet
