Vinh nice demo, Milpai , yes I will do the best I can to describe the sound on each denafrips , for bonus I compare them with Schiit dacs ,they will be there too, I own Gumby though, I will do the best to be fair, going to Axpona my brain is already set on yagdrassil, I delayed the purchase because I might end up liking one of Denafrips dacs...or maybe just the schiit bifrost multibit,
@Jayctoy, If you bring your Gumby, I can set up an after hour comparison with the Ares, which is around the same price range.  Which driver does the Gumby use?  All Denafrips uses Amanero which simplifies the interface with my Salk Stream Player.

Vinh, What time is the after hours, my Gumby is multibit it’s $1249 , if I will bring my Gumby, I will let you connect it power wise as soon as I arrive, Friday before lunch, then we can listen after hours...that would be a very good idea...so we will have comparison....
@jayctoy Show hours are Friday and Saturday 10-6, and Sunday 10-4.
If you bring the Gumby we can hook it up Friday after 6 to compare with the Ares and Pontus.
