I’m facing alot of dilemma this month.
Now it’s the turn of choice between lyra 2 and bifrost or just the Burson conductor v2+.
price is around the same for second hand.
I currently have a topping E5O dac, L50, Xduoo Ta-26, MT-604, RNHP, and also a Hifiman EF 400 , which is on the way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
the Lyr 2 isn’t as good as the 3… what Bifrost? the 2 is current and one to get. same for Asgard, get only the 3.
if they’re not the current gen models, the Burson.
Thanks for the quick response. Bifrost is original not v2.
Asgard i can get 3 but its on its own, no Dac.
Price for asgard 3 is around 300usd.
I dont have much option to purchase Schiit as i live in thailand.
Have to make do with Buyee from japan. Huge selection of second hand but some stuff at inflated prices.
sorry there are 2 versions of the asgard 3 on sale.
195USD looks STD, and one with ES9028 for 300USD
the DAC for the Asgard 3 isn’t all that good, but as an amp it’s outstanding.
can you get iFi there? match it with s Zen DAC or Zen Air DAC would be good.
yeah zen dac is easy to get. Is signature significantly better?
ok, I’ll get the asgard 3 and then the zen can later.
Thanks for the help
The Zen has a warn / fun sound and if you get the DAC, not the Air DAC, you will have balanced output for when you get an amp that can take balanced input.
I have the Zen DAC og and the Zen CAN (dunno which version) and love em!
thanks, just ordered zen Dac V2. Will let you know my impression.
Can anyone help with using 2 dacs or multiple dacs from one PC?
At the moment i have.
PC-Douk u2 pro-p50-topping E50(coax)-TRS passive switcher and RCA passive switcher to various headphone amps and speakers. I dont think i can do it without eliminating the U2 pro. I now have hifiman ef400 to add and asgard 3.
