Hi Guys,
 
Looking to replace my Modi with something new, looking to spend up to around 500 USD.
 
I am a big fan of Schiit so an Uberfrost is currently on the top of my list but I am looking for competing suggestions to give me something to think about. It can be a pure DAC or DAC/AMP combo. It will be paired with my Schiit Lyr and Alpha Dogs as a desktop setup.
 
Cheers,
 
TeskR
