You know what... Go forth a do endless comparisons finding the perfect non Schiit DAC. Consider a replacement, Bi-frost 2 in the opposite color. My head hurts the thought of spending ions mixing DAC with headphone/speaker amps. Sure speed the speed dating process would be easier with your dedicated amp and headspeakers. Now to pay your audio specialist unlimited access to switching DAC's will be a harder sell. My head is throbbing. I'd raise my hand ask the universe to forgive my past errors. Start fresh, change color and step in Schiit again. You'll be back, whistling a new tune of your own. No one has to know... Shhh I won't say a word. Good luck with your choices. You are blessed. Hell is COVID... Yet I'm closer to everything one... Music means more to me than ever
