$1300-1500 DAC

I’m thinking of adding an external DAC to my secondary system. I’m running a bluesound node 2i, RCA out to a Schiit freya+, RCA out to an Accuphase P-250 (beautifully restored) amp, to a pair of ascend acoustics Sierra 2ex. It already sounds awesome, but y’all know how this is... I want more. 

Im looking at a Schiit Gungnir Multibit... the price is right and it’s well reviewed. 

I will say that, in my main system I use a Simaudio Moon 280d and it’s awesome. 

Any thoughts? What else should I be looking at?

Another vote for the RME ADI-2 DAC. It even spend some time as my stand alone dac for my 2 channel setup and now sits on desk as part of that near field/headphone listening station.

Thanks for everyone’s opinions! I scored a brand new schiit Gungnir Multibit from a fellow A’goner for $850. Too good a deal to pass. I’m using a Black Cat Cables silverstar 75ohm BNC to connect the node2i to the Multibit. It sounds great.

Nice deal! 

I am late to the thread, but I really love my MHDT Labs Orchid as well.  Definitely worth checking out for anyone reading the thread later.  I am typically a value shopper and look for great used deals, but at $1100, I purchased it new from LTA and they even throw in a different tube to roll.
