If I feed Ares II from Gustard U18 via coax will it improve sq against USB?

How is the ARES II sofar?Everyone says the Jot2 and Ares is warm...I am not hearing that at all. I mean, at least not 'too' warm...
I read a review somewhere that compared them, they said they are on the same level just coming from 2 different directions; they said ultimatley it is a matter of prefference.How is the ARES II sofar?
Has anyone here compared the Schiit Bifrost 2 in an A/B test with the Denafrips Ares II?
How did they differ sound-wise when all else was the same?
I've had the Ares for 3 days and the Iris for 2, and am told the Ares is still breaking in... With the Iris my GSX mini is now absolutely dead silent even with max volume on high gain and being fed from my pc. I'm not so great at describing sound, but instruments and voices sound spookily real and defined in space, and I wasn't quite getting that feeling with the Ares alone. My only quibble with the Ares is that it seems to have a bit of extra sizzle in the sibilance region that can be more or less noticeable depending on the content. The Iris does seem to tame that a bit, or it could be the Ares breaking in, or my brain breaking in.Has any Ares II owner bought the Iris DDC too? If so how is it?
Don't waste your money. A good and even cheaper streamer would bring you a much better experience via Coax.Has any Ares II owner bought the Iris DDC too? If so how is it?
Thanks. I plan to buy the Iris next week.I've had the Ares for 3 days and the Iris for 2, and am told the Ares is still breaking in...

Have you tried to use a different power cable? I have a copper washer and hear no difference. I’m sure there will be the same with a silver one. But with Fujikura CV 600 + Monosaudio F104/E104 there are very nice improvements.I'm tempted to try the washer hack on the Ares ii with a pure silver washer, $80.... whatcha think @squadgazzz ?
