Leonardo Drummond Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 Did anyone see this? https://schiit.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=0&products_id=11 Sounds promising. They seem to have been building pretty good products in the 200-400 price range and it's nice to see them getting more ambitious. Specs alone look quite good! Quote
The Monkey Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 Looks cool. I like this: "USB 2.0, 24/192, Async, Completely Buzzword Compliant " Quote
Aura Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 I'm interested in both this and the matching amp. Not a bad pricepoint, but I would definitely need to demo. Quote
Tari Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 Schiit has a 15-day money back guarantee on all their products. To demo just order and return (which they're fine with.) Quote
morphsci Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 15 days seems a bit short but I am definitely interested in the DAC and amp. Quote
blessingx Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Wondering if this and the new Mjolnir could possibly make a nice $1.5 system. Also really curious what's gonna end up in the signature dac. Anyone have good experiences with the Bifrost? Edited April 6, 2012 by blessingx Quote
Leonardo Drummond Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Looks cool. I like this: "USB 2.0, 24/192, Async, Completely Buzzword Compliant " Yes! I love when a company like that shows a sense of humour, it's quite refreshing! I'm interested in both this and the matching amp. Not a bad pricepoint, but I would definitely need to demo. It seems a great value. The only all balanced amp I know of at a similar pricepoint is the Little Dot MKVI, which I used to own. I thought it was ok, but nothing special. The Meier Eartube trounces it on most regards! I'm quite optimistic about this and the Mjolnir. What's with the names, though? Edited April 6, 2012 by Leonardo Drummond Quote
morphsci Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Norse mythology. Gungnir is Odin's spear and Mjolnir is Thor's hammer. Therefore their reproduction of music is divine? Edited April 6, 2012 by morphsci Quote
Leonardo Drummond Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Posted April 6, 2012 Norse mythology. Gungnir is Odin's spear and Mjolnir is Thor's hammer. Therefore their reproduction of music is divine? Hahahaha now that's a good interpretation Quote
spritzer Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 To bad they can't spell the names correctly. I wonder how many realize the name is bif-röst and not bi-frost.... 1 Quote
Knuckledragger Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 I hear one should only wire up Schiit gear with Nordost cables. Maybe a nice pair of Odins? Quote
skullguise Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 Norse mythology. Gungnir is Odin's spear and Mjolnir is Thor's hammer. Therefore their reproduction of music is divine? I take it to mean that it will pierce your eardrums and give you a pounding headache. Quote
morphsci Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 I take it to mean that it will pierce your eardrums and give you a pounding headache. An equally valid, if more painful, interpretation. Quote
morphsci Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 To bad they can't spell the names correctly. I wonder how many realize the name is bif-röst and not bi-frost.... Yeah you Nordic types have all those weird extra letters. Quote
jvlgato Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 ... And weird dots and lines that go through them Quote
blubliss Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 ....and a weird way of saying letters. Quote
deepak Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 ... And weird dots and lines that go through them umlaut is a most badass form of errr... something or another. The more the better. example, this swell Finish album: Quote
spritzer Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Hey, if you used our lovely letters then you'd type less. For example, though would be þó. Edit. I really don't know what the Finns are adding to their water supply to end up with that... Edited April 6, 2012 by spritzer Quote
blessingx Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) How many keystrokes does it take to type þó? Edited April 6, 2012 by blessingx Quote
deepak Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 Edit. I really don't know what the Finns are adding to their water supply to end up with that... I am thinking copious amounts of marijuana was involved in the making of that album/band. It's droning blues/guitar rock sort of stuff. Quote
jvlgato Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 umlaut is a most badass form of errr... something or another. The more the better. example, this swell Finish album: Maybe you're thinking of the metal umlaut? Perhaps Colin can enlighten us ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_umlaut Quote
swt61 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 To bad they can't spell the names correctly. I wonder how many realize the name is bif-röst and not bi-frost.... Have you not heard of Ellis Island Sir? This country has a long and rich tradition of butchering names. Don't fuck with us Sprizzer! Quote
jvlgato Posted April 6, 2012 Report Posted April 6, 2012 Easy for you to do this on the other side of the world. I'd like to see you do this in person the next time Thor is in town. Then I'd be impressed... Quote
