"....I would like a reasonable assurance that it will make a noticeable improvement in my audio setup. I emailed Schiit with my setup, but they refused to comment.I think that was pretty smart of them. Who can say with certainty that you will notice a worthwhile improvement with their $2300+ DAC.
With that kind of money I would explore other areas of the system as well, including an active preamp and/or another amp. While the ICEpower W4S ST-500 Class D amp is powerful, it's not the last word in lower frequency detail. I owned the similar SX-500 monoblocks and found the bass to be deep and powerful, but the lowest notes were not distinct and detailed as they were on my other amps.... playing double bass (or upright bass) for example.
Just some thoughts but if you have your heart set on a new DAC, it's just money! ;-)
