The only ~$10K I have compared it with was the $9,375 Lampizator Atlantic. I prefer the Audio Mirror SE.
Also, look at my comment above about the Audio Note Kits DAC 5.1 Signature (over $6,500 after the upgrades), which I recently sold on USAudioMart.
I’ve had many other DACs in the $2-$5K range. They are all gone. I am having a hard time finding any other DAC that is so musical, engaging, and analog sounding up to a $10K price range. If I had a much bigger budget I would get the Cerat Kassandra II Ref. Until then, I am enjoying the Audio Mirror SE DAC.
Happy Listening.
