Suggestions for an external DAC?

[DAPpower]

Hello, any suggestions for an external DAC?

I have a Jotunheim 2 in black from Schiit that is excellent but I'm looking for something better than the built in AK card module that I can pair with my Jotunheim 2 balanced.

I planned to do a Schiit stack with Bifrost 2 or Gugnir but I realize they don't support DSD playback.

Any suggestions for a DAC with AK44** series chips or something that can decode DSD files without needing a separate anaolog channel?

What would be a good pair up with Jotunheim 2? Something neutral sounding to use along with my Sennheiser HD 650?

Budget can go up to $1200

Bifrost 2 is not AKM, but a step in right direction - R2R converter. Still missing DSD and - more important - NOS.
Denafrips Ares will pair nicely with Jotunheim balanced.
