Curious if this was a mess up on their partā€¦ thats awfully cheap

Wow, what a smokinā€™ deal! I am Never going to be able to sell mine. :grin:

Mine should be still covered by the return window and price guarantee, so Iā€™ve reached out but their customer service isnā€™t open until tomorrow.

Iā€™ll likely just return mine, as it did have a few power cycle issues.

Iā€™m reasonably confident this is a mistake though. $400 off the $600 price seems pretty crazy.

It is now out of stock.

Itā€™s not available anymore

Hard to say. For most of 2020 it hung out in the $400-515 range. Then for most of 2021 it seemed to be at its full $799. Sell at the right time and you might be ok.

I will have to time it right. I like the amp, but the iFi Pro iCAN can do everything it does, plus more.

eh? they do present sound a bit differently to my ear though and ican is quite a bit more expensive

lol I snagged it then it went out of stock

You already have one! JK enjoy it for me

True enough. I wouldnā€™t look to replace one with the other, but since I have the iFi sitting around, the LP is not getting much use.

i am willing to bet money one person bought almost all of them.

Looking into picking up one of these as I can get them for a decent deal used. What would people recommend as a DAC to pair with these? Would something like a Modius suffice? Thanks.

Hello @BigBoyBrown, welcome to HFGF!

Liquid Platinum is a nice amplifier indeed. A Modius could suffice and would not be something Iā€™d say to avoid especially if you already have one, but I really enjoyed my MLP paired with the Bifrost 2. At the time I was working an assortment headphones including Elegia, LCD-2pf, HEXv2, AH-D5000, TH900mk2 and HEKv2 with that setup and was pleased all around.

Appreciate the response! I donā€™t own any dac/amp yet so I donā€™t own a modius. But am looking to expand my setup and thought this would be a good place to start for something warmer. I only saw the Modius as it looked to be decent without being too expensive. Forgive my ignorance, but what would the features that the Bifrost 2 bring over the Modius? Are there any sonic characteristics that I should look for between the two?
