@lordrootman, whatever you do make sure to demo as many DACs as you can, preferably at home, before making any decision. Some folks don’t mind switching between components as their tastes and budgets change. It’s a hobby so you might as well have some fun. But I try to limit the number of $5,000 mistakes I make in a day if I can help it.
I’m going to recommend the DAC that is in my system, because out of all the different DACs that I listened to the Chord Hugo TT2 sounded the best to my brain using the headphones and speakers that I have at home.
