How about the Violectric DHA V226 DAC/Amp? It has a fairly small footprint for a desktop setup and it retails for $1600.Thanks for the reply, I love Schiit gear but was worried about noise floor for IEM’s. I have a new in box Midgard I’ll connect up and see how it does.
Still looking for something in the $1500 price range that offers $1500 in build quality and components too if any other suggestions.
I haven't actually tried the V226, but I've read that it has the same amp as the Violectric HPA V222 which is the amp I have in my desktop setup.
I also had the Midgard for a few weeks. It's a good neutral amp, but I prefer the bassier, more dynamic sound that the V222 puts out.
