    Is this a sign of an EOL for the current Bifrost?

    @dubharmonic Hell and high water if I know, I'm just pissed because I've been tempted to spray paint mine black for ages now, especially after some carpenters scuffed the chassis up. Also, I just like black.

    More serious answer: I don't see how so unless any unconfirmed proper successor (i.e. not A2 or V2.0) will be *significantly* different internally.

    Way back when I got mine, I emailed asking what color of black they used for powdercoating so I could get it done myself…they asked if I'd like to buy a black chassis. Which I did, so I have both colors. The black matches my Valhalla.

    Yes, Schiit offered to sell me a black chassis for my silver Bifrost MB. That is also why I have a sheet of rubber feet…they didn't include those, so I emailed and asked which they used and I bought a sheet from Amazon.

    And just in case…the other yes: black is not black. There are tones. Just like white.

    Already sent an email, haha. I'm hoping the cost isn't too high since this is just to satisfy my stupid sense of aesthetics, fingers crossed.

    And eh, I don't have any other Schiit gear so as long as it's black I'll be happy.

    IIRC, in 3/2016 it was < US$60.

    @Syzygy just saw this! Nah I'm good on rubber feet, but thanks! Just wanted to report that nah, they're not selling the chassis by themselves at the moment which is probably for the best.

    I'm telling myself it's not worth wasting money for a marginal improvement in SQ and aesthetics and I'm better off saving for an overall better DAC, haha.

    Was looking through status for something else, came across this. @dubharmonic in retrospect, excellent call :))
