I have lusted after the TOL XLR Tortuga except that requires a separate dac and the associated ancillaries= $$$$$. I am quite happy with my Audio Alchemy DDP-1 DAC/PRE+ PS 5, both can be found for ~ $1200 used
I had/loved a Hattor dual mono passive when I was using my Oppo 105 direct outs, but had an impedance mismatch with my then class D amps. I could have had the gain module sent to me (~ $400), but I was not willing to play tech
