IN THE BOX
GETTING STARTED
1.
Connect Bifrost to your source and your
amp or preamp. You’ll need a set of RCA-to-RCA
cables to connect the Bifrost’s outputs to your
amp or preamp, and the appropriate digital cable
or cables (coaxial, Toslink, or USB) to connect
your sources.
2.
If you are using USB and have a Windows
computer, download the USB drivers from
schiit.com/drivers and install them. Instructions
for installing the drivers are provided on the
website. The driver package will install the
correct drivers for Windows XP, Vista, or 7.
3.
If you are using a computer source, ensure
it is set to output to the Bifrost. Sometimes PCs
and Macs get confused and want to use internal
speakers, or your powered USB headset, or
whatever. Make sure you’ve selected “Schiit USB
Interface” for USB, or external SPDIF output.
4.
Select your source using the button on the
front panel. And enjoy your music!
UPGRADES
Bifrost is upgradable via modular D-A/Analog
and USB Input Cards. Please contact us for any
card purchases and additions. All cards must
be added or changed by authorized service
personnel.
USB Card Addition. For customers who do
not have the USB Card, and want to add it, you
can purchase the card and installation from us.
Contact [email protected] to order your USB
card addition.
Analog and USB Upgrades. We’ll announce
selected upgrades when there have been
significant changes in technology—or, in other
words, we won’t be starting a D/A chip-of-the-
month club. If you’d like to be the first
to know about upgrades as they become
available, go to your customer account on
schiit.com and allow us to send you email.
