A reasonably priced DAC upgrade from Schiit Gumby

Hello everyone. Looking for a reasonably priced DAC upgrade from the schiit Gumby I have now. Which I absolutely love but feel could be a bit more open. Source is Oppo 105. Amplification is Schiit Ragnarok 2. Speakers are Reference 3A de capos. The Schiit Gungnir does NOT have the upgrade.

 

I had the Denafrips Aries 2 and liked it, but it was a bit too, well, digital for me. So I guess I’m looking for a warmer sound. I use CDs maybe 5% of the time and Tidal max for the rest.

The Schitt Yggi+ Less is More is now my reference DAC in my office system. It is the best sounding DAC I have owned. I tossed the shipping box so I cannot sell it even if I wanted to. Other DACs include (all these DACs are in the price range specified except the X1),

- Benchmark DAC3B (still have it)

- Gustard X26 Pro (good for the price)

- Topping D90 (bought it a few times, ended up disliking it each time)

- Audio Mirror Tubadour III (tube)

- Matrix Audio I-3 Pro

- Lumin X1 (very nice DAC)

- Musetec 005 (very nice DAC)
