I want to buy used and I do not want to spend more than $700 I have a chance to obtain a Schiit bifrost Multibit for a good price but I sort of wanted a balanced amp dac combo.( Is it worth it?)  I would be able to sell my unbalanced amp. I have a chance to get a Schiit Gungnir Multibit but I would have to keep my BURSON ha-160 and it is out of my reach unless I compromise on headphones. I am thinking about something like a Grace 902 or OTHER COMBO. I would love other combo amp dac suggestions as it is less intrusive on my desk. plus I can sell the Amp. I am watching a Bryston BDA-1 though no amp.

If you can get a Schiit Gungnir Multibit for $700, do it. That is considerably less than their used selling price. At worse, you can easily resell it at that price if you do not like it.

If I could I would

My mistake, I thought you said you have a chance to but one at that price.

What headphone are you using? And are you looking for a dac only or an all-in-one device?
 
There is a Burson Conductor up for sale several days ago (I'm using a Virtuoso myself) but I'm not sure whether it's still there. It's a good price. (I don't know that person and it's not an ad!)

I love my Burson HA-160 but I want an all in one. I am using Primes and may upgrade to Ether C

The Conductor is an all-in-one indeed, but I don't know how it pairs with your headphones... I have neither Prime nor Ether C. Hopefully someone else who has both of them can give you an answer.

Look into MHDT Labs DACs specially if you prefer a tube and even more so if you prefer a warm but live siding sound. There's an MHDT Labs Atlantis for sale in the classifieds at the moment.

In theory I prefer neutral but in practice  I have found I preferred warm. I will look into it, (I prefer neutral in speakers which is not fair (true) because I have custom set my sub.

Definitely, if you dig into this site you'll find myself and a few others pop up more often so feel free to pm.

I don't know the guy selling btw, just saw it in the ads which is a bit of a rarity.
