March 6, 201412 yr Finally have a little cash to become active around here again. Looking for a USB DAC to match up with the Lambda normal bias + SRM-T1 I just bought from Birgir. I've narrowed it down to these 2. Any have any personal experience with either? Anything else you'd recommend? Looking to keep the price under $500.
March 6, 201412 yr Author oooh. Interesting. These work well in headphone setups? I've read about them mainly being used with speakers.

March 7, 201412 yr in terms of amps, there are so many options in the $500-$1000 price point I wouldn't even know where to begin. I'd probably try the schiit stuff, or maybe a used benchmark.
March 7, 201412 yr The Bifrost with uber analogue is as good as any $500ish DAC I've heard. I've got the Bifrost with USB and uber analog and use it in my speaker rig. To me it hits well above its price range, but for the full package it will cost you closer to $650.
March 7, 201412 yr if you don't need the USB input you can get the bifrost with the upgraded analog stage. It looks like a solid package for the money, I was interested in it when I was looking around for a Vout DAC
March 7, 201412 yr Schiit must be doing something right. They appear to decent people making decent products at decent prices. I've really been enjoying the Schiit story over on headcase. Cool to read about how a company like that gets started.
March 8, 201412 yr Is the Uber analog upgrade a significant improvement? I feel that the Resonessence Concero plays in a different league than a stock Bifrost.
