Schiit Bifrost Multibit or Denafrips Ares?


Schiit Bifrost Multibit or Denafrips Ares? Roughly the same price range. Which is the more analog sounding dac for redbook? For streaming? Comparisons with respect to tonality, linearity, imaging, bass and treble extension, etc would be most helpful. Which has the more involving, non-fatiguing sound character? Alternatives in the same price range, used or new? I listen to folk, classical and jazz -- mostly acoustic music. Mid bass palpability is seminally important. I use Merlin speakers, SS monoblocks and a tube preamp. Thanks, Audiogoners.

To clarify, my rig consists of Merlin MMI speakers, Tube Audio Design SS monoblocks (hibachi), Modwright 9.0 SE preamp, CEC TL-51 transport and a Tube Audio Design tube dac (tadac),
Agree with ianroger. The Ares, I remember, sounded very musical, it did away with digital glare. It got me interested in R2R dacs and I’ve never looked back.
Anybody have a chance to hear the Ares II ? Considering this or perhaps the Bifrost Multibit w/Unison USB?
