Perhaps have a look at the recently discontinued metrum hex if the pavane dealer still has it.The Bricasti M1 is definitely one of the best DACs available, but it is too expensive for me, to be honest. Next week I will go to a hifi dealer 400 km away in order to listen to a Metrum Pavane. Then I will decide if I will upgrade once again (hopefully the end of my search, too) or downsize to an AK380 with external amp instead (it is not much worse than my desktop setup).
The hex might work in a bang for buck way if the pavane is too much $
My hex has definitely a natural feel with detailed but not sharp upper end.
Having said that i have not heard any other dacs at a higher price point to compare
