Just a simple setup: On my table: schiit modi 2/ magni 2 stack. Next to it is schiit bifrost multibit/ valhalla 2. Currently using my HD 800. I was messing with the ATH msr7 for fun. I'm currently using my valhalla as a preamp as well for the JBL LSR30x speakers I got in the drop a few weeks ago. That's paired to a SVS SB12-NSD sub not pictured. On top of those speakers, due to space I have my audioengine hd3 speakers. That is also hooked to an audioengine s8 subwoofer not pictured.

suby4meJust curious why you have two separate bookshelf speakers? Same goes for the schist stack and bitfrost

suby4meSolid setup! I'm running a Bimby/Val2 too, and pre-amp to nearfield/SVS setup as well... been very happy with it. I like your taste!

PiePantsAh, well the schiit stack I bought when I was still in college. When I got back from college, I started lurking around forums like head-fi or watch youtube reviews about the bifrost and valhalla. I sorta got bit by the music bug and I ended up buying the valhalla first, then the bifrost. I wanted to see if there was actually improvements with the two. The speakers were sort of a miscalculation per se lol. I saw the deal on the JBL lsr and at first I was hesitant to get them since the audioengines did a good job. But I kept reading all the praise in the discussion section, plus the price was really too good to pass up. I bought them and originally I was gunna leave the audioengines close by but realized I didn't have much space so I just plopped them on the JBL. I use it mostly to connect to my portable devices to listen to some stuff on there or bluetooth.

mfabri1Thanks! I was surprised how well the SVS compliments the JBL speakers as well.

md20202020To be honest it's hard for me to describe. With the amp, its tube so you have that factor compared to the magni. It also depends on what tubes you run as well, which can affect the way the music may sound. But I admit, I do like the sound of the tube amps paired with my hd 800. When I had the valhalla hooked to the modi 2, it sounded great, but I was just curious how would a bifrost sound attached. Especially with the multibit version. I don't want to say it made the music sound more vibrant or what not as that would be a generic response. It's hard to say if it made any difference when the valhalla was plugged in to the modi vs the bifrost. I'm guessing my ears probably suck but a real test would be to try using a non tube amp and compare the two dacs. But when I compared the modi/magni vs bifrost/valhalla, to my ears the music sounded more lively. Sorry if my response is not the greatest.

suby4meThat monitor could use a monitor arm. I got one for my X34P and man it made such a big difference when you have a ton of stuff on the desk.
