Stephen, you might get more detailed responses if you’re able to articulate what you want this new (to you) DAC to do for your system.
Primary inputs, usability, etc.
I’ve not owned a Chord DAC, but to me they look like an ergonomic nightmare, and not sure I would want to use one daily. Your priorities are of course different than mine. As others have stated, the Chords may be best suited to systems that require thining out.
