About the Bifrost
The Schiit Audio Bifrost is a highly regarded DAC featuring a modular design that allows upgrades to its D/A converter, USB input, and analog output cards. It supports PCM resolutions up to 24-bit/192kHz on all inputs including coaxial S/PDIF, optical S/PDIF, and USB (optional). The analog stage is fully discrete with JFET differential circuitry, and the output impedance is 75 ohms. The Bifrost uses the Analog Devices AD5547CRUZ DAC chip and a proprietary time- and frequency-domain optimized digital filter implemented on an Analog Devices SHARC DSP processor. It offers a single pair of single-ended RCA outputs, with an optional Uber Analog output stage upgrade that adds a more advanced discrete analog output stage from Schiit's Gungnir DAC. The unit is housed in a sturdy U-shaped aluminum chassis and is designed and built in the USA. It is known for its upgradability, build quality, and sound performance at an affordable price point. The Bifrost does not support DSD playback but is praised for its PCM playback quality and modular future-proofing.
