What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good.

I wondered what’s the best sounding dac you have heard or owned. What did it do that the others didn’t.

Many great sounding DACs at all price points these days. I bought a dongle for $80 that is amazing.

Among budget DACs I really like the Weiss DAC204, it's got me thinking the Weiss Helios might really be end game for me.
