The old (15 years?) Chord DAC64 finally expired. I am looking to replace it with either a Chord Dave, or an Esoteric D-05X. Any thoughts or better yet comparisons?
With the budget you have, look at Audio Note. They build NOS ladder DACs which use all tube sections and are extremely musical and non-digital sounding.
