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?

I've been auditioning a Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ at home (my dealer kindly loaned it to me) and it's fantastic. It's a huge step up up from the Arcam irDAC (v1) I have. Really, I'm surprised how much of a difference it can make. Details resolve that just weren't audible before.
