Denafrips Ares II

I'm interested in trying this DAC. For anyone familiar with it, what have you compared it to? I currently have a Benchmark DAC1, and am looking for a more involving and analog sound. Thanks very much!

But not bright or grainy. Maybe Ares a smidgen sunnier. But surprisingly Ares sounds more analog & less like bits strung together. Subtle differences. Great bargain for sure. Highly recommended 😊
