The bass is noticably better on the Bifrost 2/64 over the modius that I had previously. There is more detail in the Bass and it seems to extend deeper more punch. I noticed with the Bifrost 2/64 I can hear reflections in a room and details in voices or strings plucking on a guitar. The sound is...
A good idea is to go on to ebay and see how many Bifrost 2/64 or Schiit products are being sold on there. There is not a lot and it's mostly their entry level or lower priced gear due to people upgrading.
I don't find it bright at all. I have used the following headphones. Sennhisers 6xx , Hifiman Edition XS , Hifiman Anada Nano using a balanced output on my Midgard amp. I'm now daily driving the Ananda Nano's which has a treble shelf in the upper regions and some say can be bright at times. I...
You only need to spend like 200 to 400$ depending if you want to run single ended or balanced headphones and be set. After that its just people looking for a specific sound signature that may result in spending more money on expensive gear. More expensive $$ doesn't mean its better. There is a...
I don't think you need to spend alot of money to get great sound out of your PC. I'd recommend separates USB DAC/Amp. Spend most of your money on the headphones and cable. Start at the low price end and move up from there so you know what you're listening to when you upgrade.
Yes, I game with it. There are no latency issues. The Bifrost 2/64 uses schiit's own usb controller unison and it has like little to no jitter. The Bifrost 2/64 has isolation setup on it's usb port. I was using a $5 walmart usb cable and it sounded pretty good. I switched to a monolith cable...
Another company to look at for a DAC is Geshelli Labs J2 with Sparkos Op Amps https://geshelli.com/product/jnog2-socketed-j2s/. With the add-ons it comes out a little bit cheaper than the Bifrost 2/64. I prefer the aesthetics of Schiit's products and their USB implementation.
yeah it does have click sound when it changes bitrate/sampling rates. It's barely noticeable. I find it helpful when listening in exclusive mode in Windows. I know it's playing the correct bit-rate and sample rate of the song I'm listening too. If you have headphones on you may not notice it...
