Consider the Schiit Modi Multibit 2. It has a very small footprint and is getting excellent user reviews over at Head-Fi.org -- its the subject of a long thread. I'm really enjoying mine. The only catch is there is now a 10 to 12 week wait for them.
DAC for second system
Putting together an office audio system; with space constraints ( not to mention cost).
Looking at R2R NOS DACS; for an organic sounding system.
There are many threads on Border Patrol, MHDT, Lab 12 etc. I see there is an upgraded ( as compared to earlier threads) Border Patrol SE-1.
Any listening perspectives on the upgraded model.
Any suggestions in the 2-3 K price point ( up to 5 if its really good ).
Thanks
