@pmboyd, I haven't tried the Schitt, but have recently auditioned a number of DACs including Meridian Director, Cambridge Audio, Resonessence Concero HP, TEAC. Of the lot, the Concero was a step above the others.
During our auditions in two different systems, it tended to have a more open, wider soundstage than most others. It has a very realistic tonal balance and timbre. Very tight, but deep bass, making it the most musical of the bunch.
Very impressive at the price point US $850. My guess is that it will compete very well against similar or somewhat higher priced DACs.
I suggest an audition, which might save you a few dollars.
