Non-Delta Sigma DAC in £800-£1200 range options?

Hi, 

I've been looking at the Schiit Gungnir and Bitfrost 2/64 DACs. Out of the two, I understand the Bitfrost is a more neutral DAC, whereas the Gungnir is a tad rolled off at the top; I'm leaning toward the Bitfrost at the moment, as this is more to my taste/preference, but wondering what other options are out there in the stated price range? 

Thanks guys 👍

What is your "taste/preference"? That would be helpful information.

The Bifrost is very good. I had one for a while, but ended up letting it go as it had a little bit of a "digital edge" to it. I prefer more neutral and "analog sounding". The MHDT Labs Orchid is just above your price range. A little less detailed, a little easier to listen to.

My taste is toward neutral.
