"It's not 'just as good,' or 'close.' It's really better than SPDIF. "As a result, Unison USB is now our preferred input over SPDIF," said Mike Moffat, Schiit's Co-Founder. This allows us to focus specifically on optimizing the performance of USB for PCM audio. Not based on C-Media or XMOS, Unison USB is the result of nearly 2 years of development and testing of a fully UAC2 compliant digital input based on a general-purpose Microchip micro controller.

Improved power supply: Bifrost 2’s transformer is larger, and the power supply has more stages of local regulation, for insanely great low-noise performanceīifrost 2's Unison USB input is the first appearance of Schiit's proprietary USB solution.

Easier updates: Bifrost 2’s Autonomy architecture means that both cards are replaceable from the back of the product for easy hardware updates, and firmware changes are handled with an external MicroSD card slot.

Better USB: Bifrost 2 introduces our Unison USB-a complete elevation of the USB input.Better DACs: Bifrost 2 now uses the 18-bit Analog Devices AD5781ARUZ D/A converter, rather than the 16-bit AD5547.Remote control: Bifrost 2 now has a remote control for input select, mute, and phase invert.Balanced output: Bifrost 2 now has balanced output, as well as single-ended output, to simplify its integration with any system.Compared to the outgoing Bifrost Multibit, Bifrost 2 offers: Bifrost 2 is nothing less than a complete re-invention of the affordable DAC.
