March 6, 201412 yr comment_626417 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. Report

March 6, 201412 yr comment_626510 The Bifrost with uber analogue is as good as any $500ish DAC I've heard. Report
March 7, 201412 yr comment_626515 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. Report
March 7, 201412 yr comment_626653 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. Report
March 7, 201412 yr comment_626669 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 Report
March 7, 201412 yr comment_626673 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. Report
March 7, 201412 yr comment_626679 I've really been enjoying the Schiit story over on Nut-Fi. FTFY. Report
March 8, 201412 yr comment_626711 Is the Uber analog upgrade a significant improvement? I feel that the Resonessence Concero plays in a different league than a stock Bifrost. Report
March 8, 201412 yr comment_626810 FWIW the Parasound ZDAC is a very nice unit. I've been very happy with mine. Report
