I don't know what country you're in, but here in the good old USA Amazon has a practically effortless return policy and you can easily audition DACs from Gustard, Denafrips and Topping, among others. Can help to sharpen your listening skills to help you know what you like...
Battle of the Older DAC
Would this be a simple choice for you?
Looking at upgrading my DAC and at similar price points have options of an Auralic Vega (2013) and a Schiit Yggdrasil OG A2 (2018?)
I have heard the Auralic and it is impressive, but the reputation of the Yggy looks solid.
Would be keen to hear from anyone who has experience of both or if the choice is clearer that it appears to me.
As ever, would love to hear your thoughts.
