Seeking A New DAC - Recommendations

6000CDT is a transport

I guess that"s what I get with copy & Paste from your link. Its better and saves time keystrokes if you are accurate about the equipment you list

My Audiolab 6000CDT is used with a Denafrips Pontus II and I’m extremely happy with this pairing.  The Pontus is an R2R ladder DAC and has two modes: Oversampling and Non-Oversampling. I prefer NOS which produces a smoother, more natural sound where OS seems to have more detail.  I paid $1750 but the price fluctuates based on the USD to Singapore exchange rate. 

I recommend a Schiit Yggdrasil. I recently helped a friend get his first good DAC. I did a lot of research and bought a Schiit Gungnir multibit to test my hypothesis on Schiit’s value proposition (I use it for my office system). This unit confirmed it, my friend purchased the Yggdrasil. Highly recommended as a outstanding performer for its price. Detailed and very natural sounding.

I second the Schiit Yggdrasil , now in three different models and flavors..
