Yes good article. BTW I have the Schiit Bifrost DAC. It is, as they say, good Schiit! It sounds almost as good as my Benchmark DAC USB1 which was three/four times the cost.

Anyone wants to compare the Bifrost to the Odac? people say that it outperforms expensive dacs as well.

They share similarities.  :|

And..only have experience with the HRT streamers.
