+1 on the Schiit Gungnir 2; I replaced my Bifrost 2/64, and the improvement in sound quality was instantly noticeable. Excellent imaging/localization of instruments and voices and superb tonal qualities. Add to that: Reasonably priced, made here in the USA, responsive customer support—one another Schiit product I had an into remote, so they sent a replacement promptly. Given what I want to spend, this is likely my “end-state” DAC … at least for a few years until something dramatically better comes along at a decent price.
