Recommendations for a headphone amp / DAC to pair with my Focal Utopia's


I have an old Burson Headphone amp/dac that sound good to me, but I am sure the quality of DACS and headphone amps have improved since the Burson was in production.

I am looking for a good balance between sound and cost, with a bias toward performance.  Looking to spend between $1,000 and $3,000.

Just asking to learn what folks are pairing their Focal Utopia's with, and why they chose what they did.

Ideally, this would have a USB-C input, but that's just for flexibility down the road.  Meanwhile, what sounds the best to your ears?

 

Thanks.
