Best USB DAC for 1000-1500?


I'm looking for input on which USB DACs to look at for 1000-1500 used. This would be a present for a relative who is currently using a budget Scott Nixon Chibi 2 in his rig. I was thinking a Wavelength Brick but any other DACs to consider? Thanks

I have a WL Brick V3 that I use with a 2010 MacMini. Initially was less than happy using the combo in a big room and with small speakers (severe digititis). In its present setting and adding Pure Music and a good quality IC, I'm very happy. In order of increasing quality would rank Squeezebox Touch < Bryston BCP < MacMini/Brick < VPI Scout. It "only" goes to 24/96 (which covers everything I have so far). It also "only" does USB. OTOH It was simple to setup and is completely hassle-free to operate.
