Another take on Schiit Bifrost

There have been many posts praising this DAC recently. At this point I have owned it for about three weeks and slightly different perspective from most of what I've read.

I have found that things do sound better overall compared to the Squeezebox Touch and a Sony SACD player. There is more clarity. I can now hear instrument timbres and ambient sounds I didn't hear before. So on the whole, the sound with the Bifrost is an improvement and I decided to keep it. However, I am also hearing a slightly more sizzling top end, especially with sopranos and violin. Sibilants are a little more pronounced and unlike the rest of the presentation, the highest notes do not sound natural or particularly pleasant. Vinyl enthusiasts might say it sounds more "digital" now. Has anyone else encountered this?
