Best DAC for around $2,500 or less


What are your opinions on the best DAC for under $2,500?  Looking at the Schiit Yggy or many of recommend Denafrips so looking at their Pontus.  Any thoughts on how these two compare?  It might be misguided by I tend to think your getting a little more for your money with a direct to consumer company like Schiit and I know they are highly regarded for their DACS.  Anything else to look at in this price range?

This post is purely for future readers. Although not the best DAC for under $2500 the Wadi di322 ,if you can find one, can be a good deal. The group that controls the brand , as well as Mcintosh, has shelved the brand for now and maybe forever. Hence these DACs can be found for relatively cheap.

You can still get service on the units from an outfit in CA. If you call the number on the Wadia support site you get those guys. I have the older 321 which only does PCM. I like the sound and the unit is built like a tank. Only negative so far is the large footprint.
