90% of the time I have found tizz and glare to be jitter from the source or the source + a poorly executed SPDIF cable. I had the exact same issue with the Bifrost. Once I got a good 75 Ohm cable in the system - the harshness was gone.
If you get a HDTV video cable with 75 Ohm BNC's on either end, and do a 75 Ohm BNC to RCA adapters on it you will get a ton of bass - and detailed bass at that, and the sound warms up, hardness disappears. Shouldn't cost more than $90-150 all in all, and you can re-use that cable anywhere you need SPDIF. Oh, for additional help, make sure the cable is 1m-2m long. For some odd reason that is the "magic length" where internal reflections get ignored by the SPDIF receiver and RCA being a terrible interface, you will have some.
Of course, returning is always an option - just saying that you've got it there ... might be worth a shot in making it work that way.
