I don't often check my email account that is associated with my Audio Asylum profile. Sorry if I missed your PM. I'll reply here briefly.
There's an inmate who frequents the Computer Audio asylum and he commented that he preferred his NuWave DAC over the Schiit Bifrost. I don't recall his moniker.
My main comparison is against the highly regarded Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2 ($1500), not the latest W4S DAC-2 DSD or DSDse.
The W4S DAC-2 is excellent but in my setup I thought the NuWave was more resolving, a bit more transparent, and provided better detail. The W4S DAC-2 was slightly warmer, richer, and a tad bit darker. IMHO, the DAC-2 is excellent overall but might be an even better match for a system that is on the slightly bright side.
I was simply hearing more and with better clarity out of the NuWave DAC.... and it's about half the (street) price of the W4S DAC-2. In fairness to the DAC-2, it offers more features than the basic PS Audio NuWave, if those features are important to you.
As an aside, and this may not be important to others, I used W4S DAC-2 not only for music but also for movies and concert videos. I could never get the audio and video 100% in sync using the W4S DAC-2 but the NuWave was always perfectly in sync.
