Do you have a budget or unlimited funds?

It is impossible to make a meaningful recommendation unless we know what you can afford.

Just an FYI for anybody new to the forums.....

Audioengr and Jtinn both are selling something. I've never dealt with either but it is incomprehensible that someone who is selling a product in this category wouldn't have a biased opinion that favors what they sell.

Both are probably swell fellows but take what they say with a grain of salt.

You say

There is a DAC manufacturer that is very well known

Why play a guessing game?

Why not name this mysterious manufacturer ?

Jtinn,

If I recall correctly at one time your were registered as a private user and posting high praise about things you were selling with no mention of your affiliation. With that in mind I did think a warning was in order. I see now that you changed your status to commercial user. Even so, I see no harm in pointing out your status to those who may be unaware.
