I agree that the Centrance DACmini is great.
I have one.
But I moved it back to my computer desk top rig to play through my Audioengine A2s after I got the Schiit Bifrost DAC. The Bifrost is a better DAC: bigger soundstage, deeper bass, better articulation and detail retrieval, airier highs and more involving, for about $300 less. No headphone out, just a good old fashioned DAC that punches way above its price point.
The boards are swappable for future upgrades and there's a 15 day trial period with only a 5% restocking fee. It won't hurt to try.
You won't be sorry.
All the best,
Nonoise
