DAC suggestions?

Hello!

I’m looking for a new DAC suggestion for my 2.1 office room set up. The room is 12x11 ft with a 10 ft ceiling.  The EverSolo DMP-A8 seems interesting.  Currently, I have the following:

Rotel CD14 (Water 1m RCA cable)

Michi X3 (Audioquest Thunder 2m Power cable)

Rel T/9X (Rocket 88 3m Rel Sub cable)

Sonus Faber Sonetto V Walnut (William Tell Zero 12ft Speaker cable)

iMac, using Roon and Tidal (USB B 1.5m Carbon cable)

I listen to jazz and RnB mostly and prefer a warmer sound. I’m happy with my current setup but feel adding a DAC and digital streamer would be nice versus going through my iMac.  Thank you so much for your time.

Eversolo FW and support are pretty bad in my experience.   Lot of money to spend for decent hardware and non existent support.   

I've been waiting over a year for them to correct an issue caused by FW .    USB won't recognize a DAC it worked perfectly with for a year.   The last FW recognized DAC but no sound.  Fortunately there is a coax output as well.   Thats not a fix though.  

The worst company I've ever dealt with in 45 years of this hobby.

To OP. .listen to a few DACs , so many good ones out there.   You can buy a nice pair at your budget.

g2 , Im happy you are bug free.  My suggestion to any Eversolo user is to turn Auto Update Off and visit their site when there is a FW release. Let the community vet the new firmware before updating.   You are literally on your own , you and the other members of the Eversolo forum.  Its the only place for help which is sad because the hardware is pretty good.   

OP. I would look at Innuos at your price point.
