  All I know it is coming from two very good designers. The inexpensive Bitfrost is a over achiever.

wrap some sexy man lingerie around the power cord. It's supposed to help with the sound. (but please use clean cotton)

   Mike what DAC are you comparing it to ? USB only or SPDIF connection ? USB/SPDIF converter.
    Have you tried a transport or just using computer ?

I haven't even heard it yet.. just reading the hype on it. The final version of the dad isn't even released yet. Right now I am using the Yulong DA8. Its a good DAC, but not great.  Good headphone amp too.
Its cool ndude.

Hey Mike

I thin k you will be very happy with it. I've been using the Modi version for a year now and just upgraded to the Uber2 version. Even though they are at way different price points, I am satisfied.
