Best route to go for new dac?

Anything by Benchmark. I run their original dac 1 fed by an Oppo 103  and it sounds great. They got their start in professional studios so the sound is very transparent, if that is what your looking for. Also, great value.

I appreciate the responses from you all. The thing is...... I really know nothing about this stuff. I have a music back ground and trust my ear. I know my equipment is decent just working on moving up from the dragonfly. I know there is more to be had. I will look into the Topping and some others. Maybe work it out so I can try several at once returning which I don't like. Any other advice? Tubes? Xlr or Rca?

I would definitely listen to a new dac purchase or buy from a source with a good return policy. I have been listening to dual Wolfson WM8740 chips and I love the sound they produce. I then purchased a Hegel H390 integrated with a AKM AK4490 chip and the reviews were all very good. The amp is very good, the dac, meh, I still listen to the dual Wolfsons.

Schitt Bitfrost 2 over Topping D90. Same price, user upgradable, and highly regarded. Sound is all that matters so try it for 15 days free and return if not satisfied. Made in USA.

I own the Topping D90 and found that it greatly improved all aspects of my music vs the Bluesound Node 2i with a DAC built in. The Schiit multibit also look good for the money. Denafrips and Border Patrol are also a good choice. You will find a great improvement no matter what you choose.  Apos Audio has 30 day return and doubles the warranty on their DAC.  Schiit also has a good return policy.  Both companies are top notch.
