A Top DAC

Depending on your M-T-Burn sensitivity rating, the Denafrips Terminator makes the most sense at 4k. That way in 2 years when there are 20 others even better available for less you won't feel like a complete idiot.

Don’t have much experience but am amazed by my Schitt Yggdrasil!

Chord Dave with Chord Mscaler

I have been told that the Chord is very good; hopefully I will be able hear it at Axpona this year.

Chord dacs are good better with headphones than speakers to my ears. I sold my TT2 to upgrade to the dCS Bartok. I couldnt be more pleased. We tested this against my friends dave with the mscaler and preferred the Bartok on speakers on headphones it depends on what you own. Then we tested his MSB Premire that was fully upgraded. The MSB is incredible as well. The Bartok falls somewhere between the chord and MSB to my ears.
