Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts


Looking for some thoughts on the following DACs:
1. Schiit Bifrost 2 Multibit
2. Chord Qutest
3. Mytek Brooklyn DAC+
I’m mainly interested in RedBook and DSD hi-res playback. I’m not looking for sacrifices in redbook in favor of hi-res. 
Has anyone compared any combination of these side by side? What are the sonic characteristics of each and compared to others? What DAC would you choose and why?
Thanks in advance!

I had the previous gen Bifrost Multibit. It had depth, great imaging and a slightly warm sound. Cable changes were noticeable with this dac.

Then Schiit went and blew that dac out of the water with a new model, the Bifrost 2. Spec wise, everything took a big step forward. Plus it now has true balanced outputs and a remote.
Worth a look, anyway.  The Mytek is 3x the cost of the Bifrost.  Normally one shops for components in the same price bracket, though the OP can do whatever he wants.
