Martin,



I agree. This was also my impression the moment I saw the Schiit Bifrost’s front plate for the first time, and I was a little puzzled. But a few minutes later I started to like these icons, maybe also because they’re quite unique and gave me the feeling that I had purchased something special.

Could not agree more. Unlike you I have no background in maths or physics, quite to the contrary.

Those Icons work well against the brushed aluminium finish. Something a bit different, as you say Werner.
Nice.

Martin,

I'm not sure that the Optical and Coaxial symbols are still required cluttering up the front panel.

being a big advocate for minimalism myself, in my opinion something is just missing here:



I feel the input icons and their grouping lines visually balance the arrangement of the various elements. They also help to understand the device’s functions and current mode of operation at a glance.

I'm in agreement with you Werner

I completely agree. Life would simply be unimaginable without them.

I'm glad others see the joy of such things

I agree - with the icons the layout is nicely balanced. And I'm a fan of the symbols - elegant. Don't think that words are necessary given how simple the operation of the device is. The only caveat is that Stan would need to add a clear explanation in the documentation - to save him having to answer endless queries downstream from those customers who are, shall we say, one or two sandwiches short of a picnic.

Despite my reservations about the font, overall I think this has evolved into a very nice design. Nice work.

Yes, the icons do look good.

My suspicion, though, is that Stan would be deluged with emails from users who want to know what they mean - regardless of it being spelled out in a user manual.

I fear that you really do need to spell it out for some folks - especially in Stan's target market area where many buyers will not be tech- or hifi-savvy in any way.

My foreign customers catch on very well. I have ways of making them understand .
