| Schiit Multibits vs Chord Mojo Thanks, guys. Will keep searching for user reviews. @edincleve, One thing I can tell you regarding the Chord DAC's is that they use wall-wart power supplies, whereas the Bifrost Multibit has an internal PSU and you can use your own power cord. I... | |

| Who's absorbing the cost? That must have been way back, when staff actually possessed the knowledge of what to look for.That's right. These were people who loved and lived vinyl. | |
