I had an ARES II......a Gustard X16..... and a Topping D90 before moving up to the more expensive ($2K) Gustard X26Pro
My personal preferred order was
D90
X16
ARES II
Maybe I just like DS and aren't a fan of R2R.......
FWIW............X16 is definitely the cheapest and IMO offers good "bang for buck"
Anyway......Good Luck
I was thinking the Topping A90 would look decent alongside the Gustard X16.
