All that I have heard sound good, though relative to cost...had a $200 SMSL that sounded good and had great feature set, but for me the Schiit Bifrost at $800 and the Denafrips Ares at $900 clearly sounded better...and I would have preferred to like the SMSL more than those...currently using a Schiit Modi+ ($129) on desktop and it's awesome for the price and all I need for that use..
