Purrin, what do you think about the sound stage of the Vali?

The Audioquest dragonfly is ony 100 USD on amazon at the moment, a good alternative to the Modi or Odac if you want a compact dac that alos works an amp when out and about.
Regarding DAC pairing with the Vali on my T90's, I've found incredibly synergy with my KingRex UD384. Absolutely fantastic, comparing to ODAC, AQ DragonFly - this thing is just a great pairing. Soundstage opened up fairly dramatically and I notice much more impact in the bass. More listening to do obviously, but this will be my go-to DAC for the Vali from here.

...welp I've read enough. Unsubbing.
It has issues but for $129 it's a friggin' STEAL!
Hey guys, one more update on my Vali experience. I just received my replacement amp from Schiit and it is working beautifully. My original amp would develop a constant ringing in the right channel after powering up for 10 minutes or so even when it was completely isolated from any vibration. The new one is dead quiet except for some minor microphonics when first turned on. It also sounds great with my HE400s out of the box. My setup is PC - Uber Bifrost - Vali - HE400/HD600. Can't wait to see how it burns in. BTW, original amp was serial # 000126 and the new one is #000634 for those of you that like tracking that sort of thing. I know I do.
Quick shout out to Jason, Nick and Laura at Schiit, thanks for your help.
