Neutral sounding upgrade to SU8

I think the su8 would be more detailed and clean, I would prefer the timbre on the bifrost 1 multibit thought, and the reduced amount of harshness, it really depends, I think they trade blows. But I would say the bifrost 2 is a higher tier than the su8

Bifrost to impresses me with the accuracy. There is a weird darkness with the Airist R-2R but it does something wonderfulā€¦ worth picking up if you find a deal (reliability isnā€™t the greatest as the right channel creates noise). The Bifrost 2, while some things are tad warm, great timbre, more accurateā€¦ best damn USB implementation youā€™ll find. Bifrost 2 + RNHP pairs nice with my LCD X, Iā€™m assuming itā€™ll do the same for your Arya.

I think both Bifrosts may not have the most neutral, but I think they have a very natural presentation. Iā€™m definitely a huge fan

Bifrost 2 is slightly warm for me and I love it. Itā€™s not super clinical which is good for my personal tests but itā€™s not so much that itā€™s noticeable.
