Looking for my first DAC

I have mostly equipment from the eighties with the exception of an OPPO BDP-93.  My Preamp is an ARC SP9-MKII and it's feeding some Acoustat model X's.  I'm leaning toward a Schiit Bifrost Multibit Gen 5, with their 15 day trial period, so I can at listen to it and return if I don't like it.  I have no way of listening to anything without a long drive and most probably a hotel stay, so I'm looking for your vast experience on the DAC's. Price range under $1000. 

Thoughts??

I just listed my Chinese DAC on eBay. $375 It's very robust and built with high quality components. It sounds very good and has upgraded high end audio op-amps, separate toroidal transformers based on the ESS9038PRO 32 bit chip. Very configurable up-sampling. I'm going for a more expensive tube r2r type DAC. Check it out under: Audiophile DAC SABRE ESS9038PRO - By Breeze Audio

You can contact via AG under my handle bob7296 if you're interested. I will probably be listing on AG soon.
