Denafrips ARES II vs Topping D50 vs SMSL-SU8

First part is Topping D50
Second Part is SMSL-SU8
Last part is Denafrips ARES II

Using Vincent Audio SV237 + Troels Gravesen ekta mkII
The USB cables I am using here for Topping and SMSL are just the out of the box while for the Denafrips is a furutech cable :) Not fair I know but I don't know, can't hear much difference when I used the cable between them...Don't ask me why lol.

Sound impression, while I was listening from my system, is that Topping is a bit bright and more digital between the 3.

SMSL is in the middle with a bit warmer sound over Topping for this particular music. Also, a bit wider compared to Topping

As for the Denafrips, which is my favorite among them :P it still maintains it's warm and a bit smooth with wider sound characteristics.

Thanks.
