Chord DAVE DAC

Any owners who want to tell me more about it? I recently received an inheritance worth about 13k. I can shell out another 2 grand to get my end-game DAC with headphones. Or...maybe the wife and kids want their bathrooms renovated 

Please tell me how it sounds. I don't have a dealer close-by to audition. I just want "end-game" performance so I won't have to worry. I listen to mostly .flac and .wav files with some .mp3s (320 kbps) in the mix. Only because it was hard to get those albums so I downloaded mp3s and saved money.

The Dave is a very good dac but it’s almost $10 k 

the Denafrips terminator+ is a better sounding dac in my experiences when heard side to side the Dave is very detailed sometimes too much so and not as forgiving 

to poorer recordings.  But f your system is warmer sounding it may suit you well.
