Schiit Bifrost 2/64 Review

I tell my thoughts on Bifrost and Bifrost 2 and Bifrost 2/64

Another nice video. It may be worth mentioning that BF2 was the first DAC to come with Unison USB and with the BF2/64, not only did Schiit introduce the TI chips into BF, but they also brought TRUE balanced output as opposed to "gimped" balanced of the BF2.

Keep up the great work!!

Just received the modi multibit, phenomenal surreal improvement with my vintage system $299, I’m back in the game baby😊

This is a great video, Stereo Azimuth - excellent seeing a solid Bimby video that properly goes through multiple generations. I would love to see you expand this series (This & Unison) to a modified OPA1656 OG Bifrost MB (process) and Modi MB 2 comparisons (sound). A person can dream, anyway. Keep it up!

I owned a 2020 version of Gungnir Multibit A2 and bought a Bifrost 2/64 in December. In short, the Gungnir has been sold. I also did a direct A/B of BF 2/64 against Yggdrasil+ LIM for four hours on a stereo setup and while the Yggy does some things better, so does the BF 2/64. You really start splitting hairs. Is the LIM worth about 300% the BF 2/64? Not to my ears.

Suggestions: there’s a lot of black footage in the beginning of the video you should trim. And you should put “2/64” in the title so it’s clear which Bifrost you’re talking about.

A great review! I suppose if I'm using only SE outs, the different between Bifrost 2/64 vs Yggy will be even smaller, right? My amp only takes SEs, so I'm actually debating myself between Bifrost 2/64 vs Ygg+ GS2.

Went to the Schitr this weekend. I live close enough that ive gone 3 times already for purchasing, repair and possibly exchange. I bought the new Modi+ last week, but then out of the blue i ordered the Magnepan LRS+… between that and feeling my new Macbook Pro dac sounding almost the same i wanted to see if i should upgrade before my return window was up. I listened to the Modi Mulitibit n Bifrost 2 back to back for hours. Basically of course the bifrost was “better” but mostly due to some initial distortion on the quiet or highs on the Modi. I really don’t know if i want to spend that much for digital when i primarily listen off vinyl but i do have hi res lossless acess. Im not sure if you tried the Modi m 2 but I’d love your thoughts. What i dont like about either is the clicking, less noticeable with headphones on but not speakers. Also i wish they updated the whole bifrost like they did their other DACs to USB C… it makes swapping very easy as very little modern devices have USB N anymore. If bifrost had usb c this would be likely easier.

Thanks for making this video; I was hoping you'd talk about the Bifrost! Also thanks for making the Unison USB installation video - someday I'm going to find an older Bifrost and leverage your lesson! Right now I've got a Modi 3+ with an Asgard 3 and a Valhalla 2 (via a good quality RCA switch). Would you consider the BF2/64 an "incremental" upgrade over a Modi or an "exponential" upgrade?

Hi, I'm using a 12 y.o. AMP/DAC (NuForce HD + HD660S2) If I purchase these Bifrost 2/64 + Midgard stack, will I get better sound experience? I'm using Spotify premium for music and gaming/anime. Thank you.

Great review. Did you do a review of Yiggy?

[Angel-AbC]

No reviewer talks about how they hooked it up and what cables was used. I have bitfrost 2 and have no idea how to connect my android phone to it . Ots ashame no you tuber explains it.

Hello, could you please write for me the name of that better dac? It was something like igdus rail? Didnt find it
