    Could get a pi2AES instead and leave USB nervosa behind forever.

    It’s a good upgrade in my book, especially if you don’t want to get into the RPi world with Pi2AES. What do you feed your DAC from? PC/Mac?

    @rlow It is fed by my PC via USB. CDP = BNC; ADC = Coax; CDP = Optical. It gets a workout!

    Unison was a significant upgrade from Gen5 USB on the Bifrost 1. Check out the Unison thread in the club room for comments from beta testers here.

    However, Pi2AES is a much bigger/better upgrade IMO. On Bifrost 1, I went Gen2, Gen5, Unison Beta, then Pi2AES Coax SPDIF. All were upgrades, the last the most significant by a long mile.

    Now I'm on Pi2AES (mpd) via AES to DAC2541, but I preferred the DAC1421 to the Bifrost 1. Haven't heard the Bifrost 2.

    In my case it sounded sharp and forward, ulcerate was WW2 to my ears. everything calmed down maybe after 120 hours.pi2aes is a little bit better compared to Allo usbridge to unison combo with Stock wallwart. Three days ago i almost bought pi2aes,but maybe it is better to wait for unison out:-) better streamer than usbridge could be on par or better compared to pi2aes.but for now, pi2aes is the best choice

    I'm lazy and cheap, so not sure when I'll get around to this. Likely, my laziness will be the defining issue, as $200 isn't TOO painful for a decent upgrade in this hobby.

    BF2 with Unison USB is freaking good feeding from Aurender's USB audio. So yeah, it is going to be a good upgrade.
