It is quite obvious that the OP wants to do purely subjective reviews, i.e. non repeatable / verifiable. His results will be relevant to him alone.

Have you had any experience with DB Audio Labs Tranquility DAC? Thanks

Some poster a while ago mentioned pro audio equipment and I personally use a audio interface for both production and playback, usually the only downside is average heaphone outputs on budget interfaces. I would suggest that if you want to investigate this avenue it may be interesting, maybe look into the RME Fireface UC as it should be within your budget and they are very well regarded for small/home studio's. People often overlook pro audio gear for some reason, I cant understand why when you often get more for your money.
Having said all that I would quite like santa to bring me a new toy in the DAC department to save me moving my AI around the house

What I am offering is my opinions, using an open, fair process (yes, I will level match, to the best of my ability... but I will also experiment with each DAC to see what it takes to get it to sound its best), with detailed descriptions of why I rate each unit the way I do. ... snip ...

This, already on the list, but not confirmed, pending inputs from the group:

They have 30-day returns, shipping cost only from Massachusetts, which should fit my limit.
