Schiit DACs (Bifrost and Gungnir down, one to go)? The information and anticipation thread.

Hell, all I would want is a black option for the top level stuff.  Otherwise I'd have to anodize the stuff myself and lose all that Schiit.

I hear Tubbs has three of them

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.

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.



When you say "seen so far," do you mean actual pieces or photos/renderings?  I was in their dealer's showroom this past Saturday listening to a Lyr, and though I didn't run my fingers across its surface or make a detailed examination, it did not look especially rough-textured to me, at least not to the point where there would be crevices deep enough to hold dust.
 
(BTW, Jason, the fellow I spoke to - not the principal - said he'd love for you to call re the Bifrost.  But likely you've already communicated with someone there about it.)

I actually don't mind the aesthetics of any of them.. I own the PS Audio DLIII & Matrix Mini-i.  Was considering the Bel Canto 1.5 but now that the Bifrost is coming, I think it will be an awesome look for my Head-Fi setup. Not to mention that I expect the combo to sound phenomenal.

What dealer?  I'm a PA guy too...Southeast.  Curious to know what dealers are carrying Schitt in PA.

Now that is a good-looking, informative display. Firewire too!

That's one of the best DACs made, btw...

You can't help but laugh, though, despite it being 'the best'. :p

It's even got dangling red haired bangs and a small goatee, heh.

I resemble that last remark; are you talking about me or the DAC?

In my wait for the statement amp and DAC, I have weakened and ordered a Bifrost. Now I can sit back and wait until early September rather than Christmas time. :)

See, wasn't that easy. Forget that willpower stuff. It's no good.
