Does anyone in the group have any experience with RME dacs -
https://www.rme-audio.de/adi-2-dac.htmlI read reviews of the RME DAC and comparison of the DACs in the price range.
IIRC, ADI-2 distinguishes itself from the others with good display and a ton of features.
In the same range, Denafrips Ares-II at under $900 R2R DAC is probably the best. It has analogue like sound with good stage but the top end is little rolled off.
Topping D90 is supposed to be resolving and provide impactful sound but no sound stage.
Chord Qutest is very good DAC. You can get it sound $1200 used.
Check out this DAC comparison.
