Best Bang for your Buck DAC ?

I have 3 "audiophile switches" each with their own LPS.  Not sure if any of them are highly overpriced or priced just right, but each as added a benefit.  I have tried removing each and quickly put them back.  I have  absolutely no buyer regret with the purchases.  I have also added an eternal clock to 2 of the switches and that has put them over the top.

I agree adding a LPS removes some of the nasties.  An audiophile switch is going to have some technology to quiet noise and also a better clock to reduce jitter.  Its going to have a much bigger impact than the noise reduction of a LPS and is likely to benefit more from an LPS than a router.  From a cost aspect adding a LPS can be the least expensive move and it will bring benefit.  However, two of my LPS's cost a little more than two of my switches, does that make my LPS's highly overpriced also?

Don't be afraid to pull the trigger on a highly overpriced audiophile switch.  There are trials for the Uptone EtherRegen and English Electric 8Switch.  I kept both.

An audiophile recommended MHDT to me, and I recently bought their Orchid DAC.  It sounds very nice, not digital sounding at all.

I think this type of question is wrong. Best bang for the buck will probably always be something very cheap. A $1000 dac is probably not 10x as good as $100 one.

I think it is more important with some rough budget for you. What are you willing to pay for a dac?
Which dac is best for you within that budget?

And, since we don't know your taste or system perfectly,  which dacs do the rest of us think are really good (still within your budget)?
