Oooops, one last item...
I also second the Audirvana route - I also tried Bitperfect, but found Aurdirvana to be much better and it integrates nicely with iTunes, which I control from my droid tablet with 'Retune", another very good program.
I use all three inputs on the Bifrost and cannot discern any difference, so the coax input is very good. For that I am using a Van den Hul "The Name" which works extremely well.
I like the fact the Bifrost does not upsample. Upsampling on a previous DAC was not done well and put me off.
I also like the fact that the Bifrost does 24/192 on all three inputs and you can grade to the USB at a later date.
Hope this helps
