First I haven't heard that DAC but have heard and owned a lot of DAC's over a lot of price points and have a good idea what to expect at certain price points. At the about $700.00 of that DAC I would look at the following DAC's to easily best it starting at about $1.2K (in order of increasing price):
Tranquility DAC
Metrum DAC fed by something like an Audiophellio 2
WFS fed by something like an Audiophellio 2
NAD M51
As an all out option, but at a much higher price, a PDX.
A Playback Designs is the best sound I have ever heard - but only via DSD.
My gut tells me the M51 is probably your best bet.
Thanks
Bill
