Need a DAC Recommendation.

agree the original Zdac was quite good typically under $200 now, , and also for a lower price a new Denafrips Ares ll at a little under $800 - the price on their website is Singapore dollars...

+ schiit Yggdrasil GS, bang for buck great deal.

The Gustard X26 Pro is compared to the new Topping D90SE in the Topping review linked below. The Gustard was favored. Try out the Gustard on the 30 day home trial., I sold an almost $3K tube DAC that people here love after I compared it with the Gustard X26 Pro.

Knowing what type of sound you're hoping to achieve would be helpful. These little boxes don't all sound the same.  

The Gustard has a bit more range in sound that a lot of DACs in this price range with NOS/OS mode and 3 custom filters.

BTW - the way DACs are sounding today I am starting to think $1500 is my upper limit for NEW DACs.

Schiit Gungnir multibit. It is an inexpensive version of the Yggi. Outstanding sound for the money. I bought one during research for a friend.. he got the Yggi… which sometimes you can get an unboxed Yggi at the Schiit sight. The Yggi is a bit more refined… but you get most of the sound with the Gungnir… Go find some reviews on the Gungnir and Yggi… you’ll see how amazing for the money the Schiit stuff is. 

Used just gets you old tech.
Forget the Schiit if you want to play DSD.
