Need a DAC Recommendation.

Im retired and can only spend $1200 to $1500 on a DAC. What would you recommend? I assume I will be in the Used market. Thanks!

It is clear as a bell and let's you hear into the recording. If you don't mind its small form factor and "pro" type menu hierarchy it really has no peer at its price.

They just released a firmware update, it took about 10 seconds... It is plug and play with any phone tablet or PC.... hard to beat for the money
