That's cool - The Bifrost is a great DAC. Not surprising the OPPO 83 isn't quite as good - probably the analog output stage or power supply is my guess - but it is from a couple of years ago, so it could also just be the relentless improvement in digital technology?
I found the Bifrost punches well above its weight - and even gives my Ayre C-5xeMP a run for its money (though in the end I feel the Ayre sounds better - more detail and extension).
