Hi,
I am looking for a new DAC for my home computer desktop set-up. The home PC is streaming TIDAL.
I feel that the Dragonfly Black dongle is my weakest link. Once I have a new DAC I would re-use the Dragonfly on my work laptop.
My budget is about 300 USD/EUR (although there is one DAC that has attracted my attention at 400 EUR so I suppose I could go that high)
I'm in Belgium, Europe.
Requested specifications:
I've been reading the forums here and looking on other sites and the choice is overwhelming me. Even the ASR master review list is rather long!
So I would really welcome your recommendations. I'm wide open to any manufacturer.
Thank you.

Requested specifications:
- Dedicated DAC; no headphone amp. The DAC will feed a Schiit Asgard 2 which serves both as my headphone amp and as a pre-amp to active Ruark speakers/ B.K. subwoofer
- A desktop DAC is fine; no need for portability.
- Unbalanced output is OK: I don't have any balanced headphones or speakers.
- USB input
- RCA output
- No volume knob
