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.

Bought a MHDT Orchid dac. Happy. Then bought a 5670 to 6922 adapter. Even happier.
Yes, allows use of a 6922 in a circuit designed for a 5670. A superior valve. 
Mike, I sent you an email about the Ares... 

Another dac on my horizon in the same $ballpark is the MHDT Canary. Comments?
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),
