State of the art performance has come way down in price. The Topping D70Pro Octo is amazing, just put it together with an A70Pro for a client and it's flawless. Even the much more expensive Aune and Gustard DACs I've had don't sound any better. Even the SMSL CO300EX I have is 5.2 volt out and zero chance of distortion. Some excellent values available.
