DACs don't make nearly as big a difference with non-electrostatic systems, but once you get to KGSSHV Carbon/BHSE tier amps and SR-009 tier headphones, DAC can make or break the system. For reference, switching between a Chord Hugo 2 and Denafrips Venus DAC changes the sound far more than going between a KGSSHV Carbon amp and a BHSE.
Chord Mojo vs Chord Hugo 2 wasn't too big of a difference with my previous Mjolnir Audio Pure BiPolar + Audeze LCD-4 or LFF Code-6 setup. I could easily live with a Mojo on that. But the Mojo destroys my current Stax system, makes it sound awful.
