Oh boy... There are also anecdotal reports that people had issues with other brands of dacs and none with a Schiit dac. How about cutting the brand trashing. Looks really foolish.Fixing a computer is far harder and more expensive than buying a DAC that is not susceptible to the problem in the first place. If a $99 Wyrd is required to fix your $99 DAC it's no longer price competitive to another DAC that costs $99 but doesn't have the problem in the first place. Consumers don't know how good their USB ports are and the point of buying a decent DAC is that you know that it's good and should not be affected by the USB power supply quality like the Modi 2 and Bifrost was.
If you really think the Bifrost sounds audibly different then just buy a $99 Wyrd to fix the issue but that isn't how people recommend or evaluate products here. The Bifrost doesn't have a feature advantage to make it worth buying over a cheaper DAC anyway.
The engineers who designed the product can fix their own garbage because it's their responsibility. It's not the job of people here to diagnose the cause of problems in a manufacturers product.
And if it's a computer issue, which it is you still blame the dac??? Whatever
And another point, it is kinda noticeable that many of these user issues are coming from larger PC system types. Seems to be somewhat what of a majority here??? What about endpoint users? (IMO a much better way to stream music anyway) Amir how about hooking up the microrendu and see if the problem dac??? is still a problem? Even a lowly Raspberry Pi? Maybe some more research?
