Any superb balanced dacs up to $2,500 used??


I have not posted in a long while, however am testing the waters on dac opinions. Am currently using a Vecteur L-4 cd player full range, that also happens to make a very good transport- preamp is modded Sonic Frontiers Line 3 (fully balanced). What are the some current favorite dacs out there under $2,500 used? (tube or non-tube)- caveat- must have balanced output, and preferably also a true balanced design.

I have owned Emm Labs gear; AA Capitole (both versions); Sim Audio Eclipse (still miss that one- superb for a one-box and IMO much better than the Capitoles); Spectral 3000/Audio Note 3.1x Balanced dac (I loved that combo); etc. But now, I need a more cost-effective solution- yet would like to border on a superb setup once again, hence the idea being a good deal on a used top-performer dac.

The Audiomeca Enkianthus X seems to be ~ $3k asking used, and I am sure could be had for around $2.5k; the Electro ECD-1 is cheaper (~ $1.2k used)but I'm not sure how good it is compared to the others. One consideration is a locally available Sonic Frontiers Processor 3 @ ~ $2.5k used, which I will be auditioning this weekend, along with a rather elusive Forsell Ref dac (but it's more $$). I would pick up an Audiomat Maestro in a second, but they are very elusive and probably not that cheap used. I like insane build quality; heavy duty power supplies, etc., so please no lightweight contenders! If this doesn't work out, I will probably end up going back to the best one-boxer I can find for ~ $3,500 used (most likely the Eclipse).

The last DAC Sonic Frontiers/Assemblage made, the Assemblage 3.1 with the Platinum parts upgrade is a superb unit and it's a fully balanced design as I recall. Good luck finding one though, they never seem to be offered for sale.
Here'a a thought, this is an oldie but a goodie if you can come across one, a Timbre TT-1 Balanced Dac. It's balanced from input to output and is great sounding. I once owned one and regret selling it to this day. If you do find one it will be well under you budget, probably in the $8-1200 range but it still competes with some of the best dacs on the market today and as an added bonus it is very distintictive and cool looking. In any case best of luck and happy listening!
Classe' DAC-1. Balanced or se output. Full range of input options. Probably about the same price as the Timbre above.
Pass D-1 is a truly balanced DAC that I really enjoy. I haven't found anything I like better. It can be had used for around $1500 and the 24/96 version for slightly more.
For way, way under the $2500 ceiling you might find an Apogee DA1000E-20 plus power supply.
