Schiit Bifrost analog board variations...

[chops-tube]

I was just looking through the 6Moons review as well as new posts about the stock and Uber upgrade board. Am I missing something here or was there a revision on the stock analog board that was never mentioned? If so, I wonder what the changes were and why. I did notice the two boards missing the four smaller Wima caps and ALL of the small transistors and resistors. Looks like it was all changed over to surface mount components.


I'll explain below.

This image is from the 6Moons review. As you can see, the chip is centered and the caps are symmetrical around the chip. There's a total of eight Wima caps (4 large, 4 small), and a bunch of those small black transistors.



In this image from a member on Head-Fi, it shows both the stock board (right) from his Bifrost along with the new Uber board (left), both of which have the chip off to the side, the caps a little asymmetrical and the two larger electrolytic caps laying on their side. Unfortunately, there's a glare on the bottom of the right board so I can't see what it says as far as version goes.



Any thoughts or links to said changes somewhere? Just curious more than anything else.
